Do furanic and phenolic compounds of lignocellulosic and algae biomass hydrolyzate inhibit anaerobic mixed cultures? A comprehensive review.
Florian Monlau,Florian Monlau,Cecilia Sambusiti,Cecilia Sambusiti,Abdellatif Barakat,Marianne Quemeneur,Marianne Quemeneur,Eric Trably,Jean-Philippe Steyer,Hélène Carrère +9 more
TL;DR: Furanic (5-HMF, furfural) and phenolic compounds were found to be stronger inhibitors of the microbial dark fermentation than the full anaerobic digestion process when using mixed cultures as inoculum.

Journal ArticleDOI
Land Clearing and the Biofuel Carbon Debt
TL;DR: Converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands to produce food crop–based biofuels in Brazil, Southeast Asia, and the United States creates a “biofuel carbon debt” by releasing 17 to 420 times more CO2 than the annual greenhouse gas reductions that these biofuel reductions would provide by displacing fossil fuels.
