Lower-cost cellulosic ethanol production using cellobiose fermenting yeast Clavispora NRRL Y-50464

For ethanol production from cellulosic materials, there are generally two major steps needed including enzymatic hydrolysis to break down biomass sugars and microbial fermentation to convert available simple sugars into ethanol. It often requires two [...]

Beta-glucosidase immobilization on synthetic superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles and their application in saccharification of wheat straw and Eucalyptus globulus pulps

Valenzuela R., Castro J.F., Parra M.C., Baeza J., Free J., Biotechnology Center, University of Concepcion, CL

Beta-glucosidase from T. reesei was successfully immobilized on synthetic superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 10 nm, silanized and amino-functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTS). When silanized and coated the saturation magnetization decreased from [...]
