Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is characterized by a single-step production of value-
added compounds directly from biomass in a single vessel. This strategy has the capacity to …

Edible crops are widely used as biomass feedstocks for the production of liquid biofuels
(bioethanol and biodiesel). However, the use of edible crops as feedstocks for the biofuels …

During the most recent decades increased interest in fuel from biomass in the United States
and worldwide has emerged each time petroleum derived gasoline registered well …

Hemicelluloses currently represent the largest polysaccharide fraction wasted in most
