Developing Cellulolytic Organisms for Consolidated Bioprocessing of Lignocellulosics

TL;DR: This chapter assesses the status quo for CBP organismal development either by enabling noncellulolytic organisms to grow on cellulosic substrates, by improving product forming abilities of native cellulose utilizing organisms, or by engineering organisms with improved cellulolytic andproduct forming abilities.

Nickel–Iron/Gadolinium‐Doped Ceria (CGO) Composite Electrocatalyst as a Protective Layer for a Solid‐Oxide Fuel Cell Anode Fed with Biofuels

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and reliability of a commercial solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with the anode coated by a protective catalytic layer is demonstrated. But the performance of the SOFC was not evaluated.

Biochar Decreases Atrazine and Pendimethalin Preemergence Herbicidal Activity

TL;DR: It is suggested that the use of biochar as a soil amendment in cropping system could decrease PRE herbicide efficacy, and mitigating practices such as theUse of higher rates or reliance on POST herbicides and cultivation might be necessary to ensure proper weed control.
