Abstract:Second generation (2G) ethanol is produced using lignocellulosic
biomass. However, the pre-treatment processes generate a variety of
molecules (furan derivatives, phenolic compounds, and organic acids)
that act as inhibitors of microbial metabolism, and thus reduce the
efficiency of the fermentation step in this process. In this context,
the present study aimed to investigate the effect of furan derivatives
on the physiology of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains that are
potential contaminants of ethanol produ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
