Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. (2011, background): “cofermentation of C5 and C6 sugars in yeast/bacteria or the consolidated bioprocessing option in which cellulosomal bacteria, such as Clostridium thermocellum, are used to digest cellulose and produce ethanol simultaneously (87, 144).”
Engineering microbial consortia: a new frontier in synthetic biology. (2008, background): “Clostridium thermocellum, for which there are no established genetic cloning protocols, and Clostridium acetobutylicum, the protocols for which are difficult and proprietary) live in consortia with other microbes and naturally secrete powerful cellulases [ 17 ].”
Effect of xylan and lignin removal by batch and flowthrough pretreatment on the enzymatic digestibility of corn stover cellulose (2004, background): “…between the structure and function of various cellulases have been studied extensively (Chang and Holtzapple, 2000; Converse, 1993; Klyosov, 1990; Lynd et al., 2002; Reese et al., 1950), the complex biomass structure confounds understanding of the relative importance of these features and their…”
Ionic Liquids: Applications and Perspectives (2011, background): “Due to the complex structure of lignocellulose, it is resistant to most chemicals and hydrolysis, which form the barrier for its utilisation (Lynd et al., 2002; Zhu et al., 2006).”
Plant species richness, elevated CO2, and atmospheric nitrogen deposition alter soil microbial community composition and function (2007, background): “Greater fungal relative abundance in species-rich plant communities may account for greater cellulolytic potential because heterotrophic fungi can be dominant cellulase producers in soil (Lynd et al., 2002).”
Physical and chemical characterizations of corn stover and poplar solids resulting from leading pretreatment technologies. (2009, methodology): “Cellulase adsorption parameters for pretreated solids and EnzL were characterized by fitting adsorption data to the Langmuir equation via a nonlinear regression with Polymath software (Kumar and Wyman, 2008; Lynd et al., 2002).”
Stimulation of lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis by proteins of glycoside hydrolase family 61: structure and function of a large, enigmatic family. (2010, background): “Degradation of plant cell walls in nature typically occurs through the actionof a complex community ofmicrobes secreting an array of enzymes, each enzyme acting onparticular constituents of the cell wall (11).”
