Single-pot conversion of fruit peel waste to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural catalyzed by modified activated carbon in green solvent: kinetics and thermodynamic study
Uplabdhi Tyagi,Neeru Anand +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated one-pot depolymerization of fruit peel waste, namely pineapple (Ananas comosus) and banana (Musa acuminata) peel, for the formation of reducing sugars (TRS) and finally to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).

Saccharification of delignified sawdust from 20 different trees in the Lagos area of Nigeria
TL;DR: Both delignification procedures resulted in a 175% increase in sugar formation for both Erythrophleum suaveolens and Milicia excels wood species, and the concentration of sugar produced during the cellulase catalyzed bioconversion of delignified sawdust was many folds higher than the amount of sugars released during the delignifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of cellulase- and xylanase-producing filamentous fungi from termite mounds
TL;DR: Findings of this study conceivably showed that termite mounds are a good source of filamentous fungi that in turn are also a good sources of cellulases and xylanases that arguably, can be recommended for use in industrial and commercial settings.

Insights on Heterologous Expression of Fungal Cellulases in Pichia pastoris
Sajid Kamal,Shahid Ullah Khan,Nawshad Muhammad,Muhammad Shoaib,Mukama Omar,Kaneza Pascal,Mukasekuru Marie Rose,Fubao Fuelbiol Sun +7 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the heterologous expression of fungal cellulases and advocates the various kinds of promoters used in P. Pastoris for expression of these enzymes and proteins and summarizes the scope of P. pastoris as a potential expression system tool in today's modern direction of research.

Features of promising technologies for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.
Nathan S. Mosier,Charles E. Wyman,Bruce E. Dale,Richard T. Elander,Y. Y. Lee,Mark T. Holtzapple,Michael R. Ladisch +6 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews process parameters and their fundamental modes of action for promising pretreatment methods and concludes that pretreatment processing conditions must be tailored to the specific chemical and structural composition of the various, and variable, sources of lignocellulosic biomass.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.
Ye Sun,Jiayang Cheng +1 more
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.

Microbial cellulose utilization: fundamentals and biotechnology.
TL;DR: A concluding discussion identifies unresolved issues pertaining to microbial cellulose utilization, suggests approaches by which such issues might be resolved, and contrasts a microbially oriented cellulose hydrolysis paradigm to the more conventional enzymatically oriented paradigm in both fundamental and applied contexts.
