Abstract:Large amounts of xylose cannot be efficiently metabolized and fermented due to strain limitations in lignocellulosic biorefinery. The conversion of xylose into high value chemicals can help to reduce the cost of commercialization. Therefore, xylonic acid with potential value in the construction industry offers a valuable alternative for xylose biorefinery. However, low productivity is the main challenge for xylonic acid fermentation. This study investigated the effect of three reaction parameters (agitation, a… 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.
