A strategy for sequential fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia stipitis in bioethanol production from hardwoods

TL;DR: In this paper, the enzymatic hydrolysis of various hardwoods pretreated using the hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid (HPAC) method was evaluated, and the results suggest that sequential fermentation can improve bioethanol production from hardwood.

Enhanced biodegradation of sugarcane bagasse by Clostridium thermocellum with surfactant addition

TL;DR: The result suggests that Triton X-100 is a most promising surfactant in improving the biodegradation of SCB, probably leading to a more efficient CBP in biorefinement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering of oleaginous organisms for lipid production

TL;DR: Recent advances in in vitro, in vivo, and in silico manipulations of phototrophic metabolism that increase total lipid content or redirect lipid production toward more favorable products such as polyunsaturated fatty acids used as nutritional supplements or in biofuel production are described.

The freezing pre-treatment of lignocellulosic material: A cheap alternative for Nordic countries

TL;DR: In this paper, the freezing pre-treatment of barley straw is investigated as a low energy input and cost-effective alternative pretreatment method for second generation bioethanol production, where milled biomass mixed with water was frozen in temperatures as low as 18°C for a certain period of time and was then thawed to room temperature (around 22°C).
