Exploring low-cost carbon sources for microbial lipids production by fed-batch cultivation of Cryptococcus albidus (2011, background): “Most studies have found that glucose can provide both a faster cell growth rate and higher cell concentration [7,13,16,17].”
Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. (2011, background): “Reduction of the carbohydrate streams to fuels, which is the last step, is an area of active research spanning cofermentation of pentose and hexose sugars to ethanol (1), metabolic pathway engineering for production of higher alcohols and hydrocarbons (9, 10), and application of catalytic routes to ”
