BackgroundBiobutanol is promising and renewable alternative to traditional fossil fuels and could be produced by Clostridium species from lignocellulosic biomass. However, biomass is recalcitrant to be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars attributed to the densely packed structure by layers of lignin. Development of pretreatment reagents and processe...

In the present work, bioethanol was produced by sugar fermentation obtained from water hyacinth using a novelty hybrid method composed of steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis, using hydrolytic enzymes produced by solid-state fermentation and water hyacinth as substrate. The highest activity, 42 U for xylanase and 2 U for cellulase per gram of d...

AbstractAlgeria is facing two serious constraints, energy shortage and environment pollution. To overcome these two problems, renewable energies are the best sustainable alternatives. In this context, Algeria Government has established in 2011 a program for the development of renewable energies. The prospective results show a substantial contributi...

Acidogenic clostridia naturally producing acetic and butyric acids has attracted high interest as a novel host for butyrate and n-butanol production. Among them, Clostridium tyrobutyricum is a hyper butyrate-producing bacterium, which re-assimilates acetate for butyrate biosynthesis by butyryl-CoA/acetate CoA transferase (CoAT), rather than the pho...

Ferulic acid is a known precursor for vanillin production but the significance of agro waste as substrates for its extraction, in combination with microbes is a less explored option. Various lactic acid bacteria were screened for the production of ferulic acid esterase (FAE) and Enterococcus lactis SR1 was found to produce maximum FAE (7.54 ± 0.15 ...

Lignocellulosic biomass can provide a consistent and sustainable source of bioenergy. Degraded empty fruit bunch (DEFB) from oil palm is a suitable candidate for biofuels and biochemicals production by using alkaline ethylene glycol pretreatment and two-staged acid hydrolysis. This paper provided several important physical and chemical properties o...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the earth’s most abundant renewable feedstock alternative that comprises of cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin. The synergistic action of cellulolytic/xylanolytic enzymes produced by lignocellulolytic micro-organisms such as bacteria, algae and fungi are capable of robust cellulosic biomass deconstruction. Most of the m...

In order to confirm the contribution of delignification to the increase in lignocellulosic cellulose digestibility, several laboratory oxidative pretreatments under mild conditions, including alkaline-hydrogen peroxide (AP), two-step alkaline/peracetic acid (APAA) and sodium chlorite (SC) pretreatments were employed to achieve selective delignifica...
