Microbial lipid-based lignocellulosic biorefinery: feasibility and challenges
Mingjie Jin,Patricia J. Slininger,Bruce S. Dien,Suresh B. Waghmode,Bryan R. Moser,Andrea Orjuela,Leonardo da Costa Sousa,Venkatesh Balan +7 more
TL;DR: The lignocellulosic SCO-based biorefinery will be feasible only if a combination of low- and high-value lipids are coproduced, while lignin and protein are upgraded to high- value products.
