Biomechanical Pulping of Loblolly Pine Chips with Selected White-Rot Fungi
TLDR
Based on energy savings and improvements in the strength properties, regardless of bioreactor type, the white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora appeared to be superior to the otherwhite-rot fungi tested.Abstract:
Paper optical properties handsheets, whereas brightness and light scattering coefficient of the handsheets were decreased after all of the fungal treatments. Opacity of the handsheets after the fungal treatments remained unchanged. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) White-rot fungi Based on energy savings and improvements in the strength properties, regardless of bioreactor type, the white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora appeared to be superior to the other white-rot fungi tested. When incubated in stationary tray bioreactors, C. subvermispora caused only 6% weight loss, saved 42% energy during fiberization and refining, improved burst index by 32% and tear index by 67%, as compared to the control.read more

Biochemical Processes for Generating Fuels and Commodity Chemicals from Lignocellulosic Biomass
TL;DR: The use of biomass as an economically competitive source of transport fuel was initiated by the fuel crisis in 1970 and its commercialization was led by the USA and Brazil, respectively, producing 90% of the world's bioethanol as discussed by the authors.
