Improving Production of Bioethanol from Duckweed (Landoltia punctata) by Pectinase Pretreatment

TL;DR: In this paper, pectinase pretreatment was used to release much more glucose from L. punctata mash and the pretreatment conditions (enzyme loading, temperature and pretreatment time) for the duckweed were optimized by using a surface response design.

Lignin solubilisation and gentle fractionation in liquid ammonia

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method for solubilising lignin using liquid ammonia was presented, which requires only 7-11 bars of autogeneous pressure and room temperature and 30 min at 85 °C. Liquid ammonia is not an innocent solvent, as some nitrogen was incorporated in the residual lignins which then rearranged to higher molecular weight fractions.
