Direct conversion of cellulosic material to ethanol by the intergeneric fusant Trichoderma reesei QM 9414/Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3288

TLDR
Single-stage direct bioconversion of cellulosic materials to ethanol, under almost the same fermentation conditions applied to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-ethanol process, was attempted using intergeneric fusants of Trichoderma reesei QM 9414/S.

Understanding ethanol versus methanol formation from insulating paper in power transformers

TL;DR: In this article, thermal degradation by pyrolysis is coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to assess the volatile by-products generated at high temperatures with emphasis on methanol/ethanol generation.

Production of bioethanol by direct bioconversion of oil-palm industrial effluent in a stirred-tank bioreactor.

TL;DR: Evaluating the feasibility of producing bioethanol from palm-oil mill effluent generated by the oil-palm industries through direct bioconversion process found that simultaneous inoculation of T. harzianum and S. cerevisiae was found to be the mixed culture that yielded the highest ethanol production.

Optimal three-level designs for response surfaces in spherical experimental regions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Box-Behnken designs to estimate a second-order model in three or four factors, but as the number of factors increases, the run size of the model increases.

Gene transfer between different Trichoderma species and Aspergillus niger through intergeneric protoplast fusion to convert ground rice straw to citric acid and cellulases.

TL;DR: Single-stage direct bioconversion of cellulosic materials to citric acid using intergeneric hybrids obtained from three different Trichoderma species and Aspergillus niger was carried out and can be successfully applied in the construction of 14 new genetic fusants, which produced at least 100% morecitric acid than the citric Acid producer strain A. niger.

Augmented box-behnken designs for fitting third-order response surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used combinations of factorial points, axial points, and complementary design points to estimate the parameters of a third-order response surface model, which was used to make the most of a situation in which the experiment was designed for an inadequate model, but can still provide useful information.

A New Method of Constrained Optimization and a Comparison With Other Methods

TL;DR: A new method for finding the maximum of a general non-linear function of several variables within a constrained region is described, and shown to be efficient compared with existing methods when the required optimum lies on one or more constraints.

Measurement of saccharifying cellulase.

TL;DR: In this article, a filter paper assay method and unit value is described for the measurement of enzyme saccharification action, which is simple, reproducible, and quantitative and predicts enzyme action under practical conditions.

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of lignocellulosics to ethanol under vacuum cycling and step feeding

TL;DR: Experiments were conducted to develop a process in which fermentor broth is rapidly cycled between the fermentor and the flash vessel where the ethanol is evaporated, resulting in the increased bioconversion of cellulose to ethanol.

Catalytic solvent delignification of agricultural residues: Organic catalysts

TL;DR: Lignin produced by the solvent process offers desirable physical properties for polymer applications compared to Kraft lignin, and an increase in the solid‐liquid ratio appears to affect delignification.
