“…Recent reports show that a biological-based approach has potential for improving both the economics and the environmental impact of the pulp generation. Bio-pulping can be defined as the biological pre-treatment using white rot fungus to metabolize the lignin in wood, freeing up the fibers so that they can be used for paper production (Rademacher 2004;Habibi et al 2008;Tuncer et al 2009;Singh et al 2010;Fu et al 2012) (Fig. 5).…”

In view of the worldwide economic and environmental issues associated with the extensive use of petro-chemicals, there has been increasing research interest during the past decade in the value of residual biomass. Because of its renewable nature and abundant availability, residual biomass has attracted considerable attention as an alternate feedstock and potential energy source. To expand the range of natural bio-resources, significant progress related to the lignocellulose biotechnology has been achieved, and researchers have been re-directing their interests to biomass-based fuels, ligninolytic enzymes, chemicals, and biocompatible materials, which can be obtained from a variety of lignocellulosic waste materials. This review article focuses on the potential applications of lignocellulosic materials in biotechnology, including the production of bio-fuels, enzymes, chemicals, the pulp and paper, animal feed, and composites.

“…Traditional chemical degumming, mainly processing the bamboo with hot concentrated alkaline solutions, has limits in obtaining fibers with high quality and produces hazardous waste with the use of chemicals [3]. Therefore, more and more attentions have been paid on the application of biotechnology for natural fiber extraction which is reco gnized as enzymatic and microbial degumming.…”

Bamboo processing was performed with commercial cellulase. The properties of cellulase and the effect of high temperature pretreatment on cellulase hydrolysis of bamboo were investigated. Results indicated that cellulase hydrolysis performed fast and dramatically within 30 minutes, and then gradually reached its balance. It was found that pretreatment played an active role in cellulase processing, which enhanced the saccharification of bamboo and benefited high-molecular-weight lignin degradation and removal. Additionally, a better performance of bamboo processing was achieved under the cellulase concentration of 15IU in total reaction system of 100 ml at 50°C, pH 4.8, together with the high temperature pretreatment of 120°C for 15 minutes
