Catabolic profiling of selective enzymes in the saccharification of non-food lignocellulose parts of biomass into functional edible sugars and bioenergy: An in silico bioprospecting

TL;DR: The lign in content of biomass wastes can be degraded into cellulose and hemicellulose using lignin-degrading enzymes, and versatile peroxidase shows promising catalytic activity with the best docking pose and significant values in all the dynamic simulation parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of fermentation conditions on valuable products of ethanolic fungus Mucor indicus

TL;DR: It is not possible to have the maximum amounts of the products simultaneously, as carbon source type and the addition of nitrogen source are among the most influencing factors on the product yields.

Lignocellulosic biomass for bioethanol: Insight into the advanced pretreatment and fermentation approaches

TL;DR: In this article , a review comprehensively discussed the suitable feedstock selection and different pretreatment progress (including mechanical/thermal, biological, chemical, and physical-chemical) for lignocellulosic biomass in recent years.

An Overview on the Application of Ligninolytic Microorganisms and Enzymes for Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass

TL;DR: The aim of this chapter is to present an overview of different ligninolytic microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) and their enzymes for biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Green ethanol production from cotton stalk

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of incubation period, enzyme concentration, pH and substrate concentration during enzymatic saccharification on sugar yield and ultimately on the ethanol production was studied, and the results show that pretreatment with 2% NaOH for 90 min at 121°C was most effective and gave the highest percentage of cellulose (78.2±1.64%) along with highest delignification rate (63.9%).

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

Biomass recalcitrance: engineering plants and enzymes for biofuels production.

TL;DR: Here, the natural resistance of plant cell walls to microbial and enzymatic deconstruction is considered, collectively known as “biomass recalcitrance,” which is largely responsible for the high cost of lignocellulose conversion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pretreatments to enhance the digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass

TL;DR: Steam pretreatment, lime pret treatment, liquid hot water pretreatments and ammonia based Pretreatments are concluded to be pretreatment with high potentials, providing an improved accessibility of the cellulose for hydrolytic enzymes.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels

TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
