Yersiniabactin (Ybt) (Fig. 1), an iron-chelating siderophore, is biosynthesized and secreted by Yersinia pestis, a causative agent of bubonic plague (1–4).Ybt chelates ferric iron with a dissociation ...

Catalytic transformation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (γ-GVL) is an important route for biomass upgradation. Because both Bro̷nsted and Lewis acidic sites are required in the cascade ...

Lignocellulosic biomass is considered as a major feedstock to produce value-added renewable chemicals. In this study, a new water-based lubricant was prepared using biomass-derived levulinic acid (LA) ...

Unlike many conventional solvents used to break down woody biomass, ionic liquids are safe to handle and easily recyclable. What’s more, Lixea boasts that the Dendronic approach can use a wide range ...

Enzyme Hydrolysis According to Duedahl-Olesen, Pedersen and Larsen (2000) and Swinkels (1985) α-amylases (Enzyme Classification 3.2.1.1) are endo-acting enzymes that randomly attack the internal ...

Biomass is one of the most versatile sources of renewable energy and our only source of renewable materials. It is attracting increasing attention on the world stage because it has the potential to ...
