The potential of lignocellulosic feedstock has been widely studied, mainly for biofuels
production, which usually requires an enzymatic step on the process. Cellulolytic enzymes …

The continuous increase in the global energy demand has diminished fossil fuel reserves
and elevated the risk of environmental deterioration and human health. Biorefinery …

Cellulose nanomaterials have attracted much attention in recent years because of their
unique properties. Commercial or semi-commercial production of nanocellulose has been …

Lignin, the main component of the plant's cell wall and the most abundant aromatic
macromolecule, is known for its resistance to degradation, therefore its valorization is a …

Cellulolytic enzymes play a key role on conversion of lignocellulosic plant biomass to
biofuels and biochemicals in sugar platform biorefineries. In this review, we survey …

The production of cellulose nanofibres (CNFs) typically requires harsh chemistry and strong
mechanical fibrillation, both of which have negative environmental impacts. A possible …

The recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass is a major constraint to its high-value use at
industrial scale. In nature, microbes play a crucial role in biomass degradation, nutrient …

Recent decades have seen the growth of immense interest in lignocellulosic biomass
conversion technologies. This interest is motivated by their huge potential for energy and …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have attracted vast attention because of
their unique mechanism of oxidative degradation of carbohydrate polymers and the potential …
