Ozonolysis is the treatment of biomass with ozone prior to enzyme hydrolysis. Pyrolysis is one of the most well-known processes, involving chemical decomposition by heating.

The project was initially funded through DBT Virtual Enzyme Centre-Development of enzyme formulations for treatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

The enzyme can be used in biofuel production, particularly for the hydrolysis of pre-treated lignocellulosic biomass in combination with cellulases as an enzyme cocktail.

This enzyme of CSIR-NIIST finds application in biofuel production, particularly for hydrolyzing pre-treated lignocellulosic biomass alongside cellulases as an enzyme cocktail.

Researchers in China have published the results of a study that the group said provides an efficient catalytic approach to directly transfer solid biomass into natural gas, while enabling the gas ...

AFEX pretreated grasses and agricultural residues are known to increase conversion of biomass to sugars by four- to five-fold when subjected to commercial enzyme hydrolysis, yielding a sustainable ...

Supplementation of surface-active additives during enzymatic saccharification of biomass helps to increase the activity of cellulase and thus reduces the enzyme dosage in the bioconversion processes.

Increasing production of second-generation biofuels – those made from non-food biomass such as switchgrass, biomass sorghum, and corn stover – would lessen our reliance on burning fossil fuels, which ...
