Cellulose macro‐and nanofibers have gained increasing attention due to the high strength
and stiffness, biodegradability and renewability, and their production and application in …

Nanocomposite and bio-nanocomposite polymer materials/membranes have fascinated
prominent attention in the energy as well as the medical sector. Their composites make them …

Both atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and biochar application can markedly impact soil
heterotrophic respiration (RH), an important component of the global carbon cycle. However …

Lignin represents an untapped resource in lignocellulosic biomass, primarily due to its
recalcitrance to depolymerization and its intrinsic heterogeneity. In Nature, microorganisms …

Consolidated bioprocessing, or CBP, the conversion of lignocellulose into desired products
in one step without added enzymes, has been a subject of increased research effort in …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant sustainable carbon source on the planet and
has enormous potential to substitute fossil resources on the premise of cost-effective …

This work describes novel genetic tools for use in Clostridium thermocellum that allow
creation of unmarked mutations while using a replicating plasmid. The strategy employed …

The bovine rumen represents a highly specialized bioreactor where plant cell wall
polysaccharides (PCWPs) are efficiently deconstructed via numerous enzymes produced by …

Thermophilic microorganisms are attractive candidates for conversion of lignocellulose to
biofuels because they produce robust, effective, carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and …

First isolated in 1926, Clostridium thermocellum has recently received increased attention as
