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.

Weedy lignocellulosic feedstock and microbial metabolic engineering: advancing the generation of ‘Biofuel’
TL;DR: The future of lignocellulosics is expected to lie in improvements of plant biomass, metabolic engineering of ethanol, and cellulolytic enzyme-producing microorganisms, fullest exploitation of weed materials, and process integration of the individual steps involved in bioethanol production.
Bioconversion of pentose sugars into ethanol: A review and future directions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the new insights in pentose sugars conversion into ethanol, pentoses resources, microorganisms and the technology, which is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature and is well suited for ethanol production due to their availability, low cost and environmental benign process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technological interventions for utilization of crop residues and weedy biomass for second generation bio-ethanol production
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent developments and cost effective technologies in pretreatments, saccharification and fermentation process for conversion of biomass into bio-ethanol is presented.

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.
TL;DR: The potential of a restored landfill site to act as a biomass source, providing fuel to supplement landfill gas-fuelled power stations, is examined, together with a comparison of the economics of power production from purpose-grown biomass versus waste-biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. II: inhibitors and mechanisms of inhibition.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the generation of inhibitors during degradation of lignocellulosic materials, and the effect of these on fermentation yield and productivity, and their interaction effects are reviewed.
