Removal of aromatic inhibitors produced from lignocellulosic hydrolysates by Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 with formation of ethanol by Kluyveromyces marxianus.

TL;DR: This work engineered strains of Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 to comprise a consortium able to degrade benzoate and 4-hydroxybenzoate simultaneously under batch and continuous conditions in the presence of sugars to demonstrate approaches for the simultaneous removal of two aromatic inhibitors from a simulated lignocellulosic hydrolysate.

Isolation of fungi from dung of wild herbivores for application in bioethanol production.

TL;DR: The dung of herbivores can be considered as a natural source of pre-treated lignocellulose and Aspergillus species were dominant in secretion of endo-glucanase, xylanase and mannanase when grown on pre- treated thatch grass.

The Potential Application of Cupriavidus necator as Polyhydroxyalkanoates Producer and Single Cell Protein: A Review on Scientific, Cultural and Religious Perspectives

TL;DR: This review will focus on the nutritional value of Cupriavidus necator as single cell protein and its safety as animal feed and the impact of using by-products from the agriculture and food industries as carbon feedstocks to produce single cellprotein will be discussed, alongside societal acceptance of this practice.

The Role of Enzyme Loading on Starch and Cellulose Hydrolysis of Food Waste

TL;DR: In this article, food waste was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis by an amylolytic and a cellulolytic formulation under different enzyme loadings, and the experimental results were evaluated in terms of cost of enzymes per liter of bioethanol produced.
