Abstract Sugarcane is among the principal agricultural crops cultivated in tropical countries. The annual world production of sugarcane ∼1.6 billion tons, and it generates ∼279 million metric tons (MMT) biomass residues (bagasse leaves). residues, particularly bagasse (SB) leaves (SL) have been explored for both biotechnological non‐biotechnological applications. For last three decades, SB SL use lignocellulosic bioconversion, which offers opportunities economic utilization residual...
Heavy usage of gasoline, burgeoning fuel prices, and environmental issues have paved the way for exploration cellulosic ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol production technologies are emerging require continued technological advancements. One most challenging is pretreatment lignocellulosic biomass desired sugars yields after enzymatic hydrolysis. We hypothesized that consecutive dilute sulfuric acid-dilute sodium hydroxide would overcome native recalcitrance sugarcane bagasse (SB) by enhancing...
Abstract Crop losses mainly occur due to biotic factors, which include soil-borne phytopathogens, insect pests, parasites, and predators. The major loss of food in the industry is its spoilage by various microorganisms. With advancement nanotechnology, use nanoparticles agriculture crop yield can be improved. In this context, copper (CuNPs) have attracted a great deal attention from all over world their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Copper one key micronutrients, plays an important...
Background This study is the first to investigate Brazilian Amazonian Forest identify new D-xylose-fermenting yeasts that might potentially be used in production of ethanol from sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysates. Methodology/Principal Findings A total 224 yeast strains were isolated rotting wood samples collected two forest reserve sites. These cultured nitrogen base (YNB)-D-xylose or YNB-xylan media. Candida tropicalis, Asterotremella humicola, boidinii and Debaryomyces hansenii...
Catalytic conversion (hydrolysis) of carbohydrate polymers present in the lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is a key step production bioethanol. Although, acid and enzymatic catalysts are conventionally used for catalysis various biomass, recently application immobilized enzymes (biocatalysts) have been considered as most promising approach. Immobilization different biocatalysts such cellulase, β-glucosidase, cellobiose, xylanase, laccase, etc. on support materials including...
Abstract In spite of the limited sources fossil fuels, energy demand has been considerably increased since last century. The problems associated with global warming due to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and scarcity fuels make it imperative reduce our heavy dependency on fuels. These reasons forced countries throughout world search for new fuel alternatives. Biofuel have gathered considerable attention their inherent benefits, like lower emission, renewability, sustainability....
The integrated approach in biorefinery mainly involves the utilization of various agroindustrial byproducts as raw materials for production several biobased products like biofuels, bioenergy, and other high-value chemicals. Biofuels are backbone biorefineries, however, value-added biomolecules such biopigments, biopolymers, biosurfactants, nutritional yeast, etc. have been atracting a great attention. these using traditional approaches extensively studied last few years due to their...
The excessive consumption of petroleum resources leads to global warming, fast depletion reserves, as well price instability gasoline. Thus, there is a strong need for alternative renewable fuels replace petroleum-derived fuels. striking features an fuel include the low carbon footprints, renewability and affordability at manageable prices. Biodiesel, made from waste oils, animal fats, vegetal totally non-toxic liquid which has gained significant attraction in world. Due technological...
The liquid biofuel bioethanol is widely produced worldwide via fermenting sugars extracted from a variety of raw materials, including lignocellulose biomass, one the world’s most abundant renewable resources. Due to its recalcitrant character, usually pretreated by mechanical, chemical, and biological methods maximize sugar recovery. Pretreated biomass undergoes fermentation process performed sequentially or simultaneously saccharification. different strategies (e.g., separate simultaneous...
Agriculture plays a major role on society, especially in developing countries which rely commodity exportation markets. To maintain high crop productivity, the use of agrochemicals was once employed as main strategy, turn affected soil, water, and human health. In order to aid this issue, identifying some alternatives, such implementation biofertilizers inoculants bioinputs modern agriculture, are imperative improve ecosystem quality. Among these bioinputs, few bioproducts have shown good...
Abstract The effect of acetic acid concentration on xylose fermentation to xylitol by Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 was evaluated in semisynthetic medium containing different concentrations the acid. Increasing up 1.0 g/1 favored yield and productivity, with maximum values 0.82 g/g 0.57 g/.h1, respectively. presence reduced cell production at all concentration. Furthermore, assimilated yeast together sugars depleted from less than 3.0 g/1. ability this assimilate suggests that these cells...
