Journal ArticleDOI
Exploration of Transaminase Diversity for the Oxidative Conversion of Natural Amino Acids into 2-Ketoacids and High-Value Chemicals
Tao Li,Xuexian Cui,Yinglu Cui,Jinyuan Sun,Yanchun Chen,Tong Zhu,Chuijian Li,Ruifeng Li,Bian Wu +8 more
TL;DR: The use of 2-ketoacids is very common in feeds, food additives, and pharmaceuticals, and they are valuable precursors for a plethora of chemically diverse compounds.
Book ChapterDOI
Engineering Microbial Consortia for Bioconversion of Multisubstrate Biomass Streams to Biofuels
TL;DR: In this chapter, the role of microbial consortium-based biocatalysis strategies that are being developed to address issues of chemical complexity of the biomass and the associated feedstock variability are reviewed and discussed.

Expression of Gre2p improves tolerance of engineered xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae to glycolaldehyde under xylose metabolism
Lahiru N. Jayakody,Lahiru N. Jayakody,Timothy L. Turner,Timothy L. Turner,Eun Ju Yun,In Iok Kong,Jingjing Liu,Yong Su Jin +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genome integration of an extra copy of autologous GRE2 with its native promotor substantially improved the toxic tolerance of engineered xylose-fermenting S. cerevisiae and concurrently improved the ethanol fermentation profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile and efficient N-arylation of amino acid esters with (−)-methyl-3-dehydroshikimiate(3-MDHS): a bio-based and metal-free strategy leading to N-aryl amino acid derivatives
TL;DR: Various N-aryl amino acid esters were synthesized in moderate to high yields under mild and metal-free conditions without using aryl halides.
Journal Article

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis
Susan Solomon,Dahe Qin,Martin R. Manning,Melinda Marquis,Kristen Averyt,Melinda M.B. Tignor,H. L. Miller,Z. Chen +7 more
TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

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.

Fast pyrolysis processes for biomass
TL;DR: Fast pyrolysis for production of liquids has developed considerably since the first experiments in the late 1970s as mentioned in this paper, leading to significant advances in process development and a wide range of reactor configurations that have been developed to meet the stringent requirements for high yields of useful liquids, for use as a fuel in boilers, engines and turbines and as a source of chemical commodities.
