Isolation of thermotolerant, fermentative yeasts growing at 52°C and producing ethanol at 45°C and 50°C
TL;DR: Five thermotolerant, alcohol-producing yeast cultures were isolated from samples obtained from India, two of which were identified as of Kluyveromyces marxianus, and all produced relatively high alcohol concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-site genetic modulation of monolignol biosynthesis suggests new routes for formation of syringyl lignin and wall-bound ferulic acid in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
TL;DR: The current model for monolignol and ferulate biosynthesis appears to be an over-simplification, at least in alfalfa, and additional enzymes may be needed for the 3-O-methylation reactions of S lignin and ferulates biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and use of lignocellulosic bioethanol in Europe: current situation and perspectives.
TL;DR: It is found that, especially in Europe where security of oil supply will be lower in long term, the policy instruments should explicitly reward the higher value of lignocellulosic ethanol compared to first the generation ethanol and gasoline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of xylan on the enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-pretreated corn stover and hybrid poplar.
TL;DR: The focus of this study was to alter the xylan content of corn stover and poplar using SO2‐catalyzed steam pretreatment to determine the effect on subsequent hydrolysis by commercial cellulase preparations supplemented with or without xylanases.
