Pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw (Triticum aestivum L.) – The impact of lignin relocation and plant tissues on enzymatic accessibility

Spent mushroom compost as substrate for the production of industrially important hydrolytic enzymes by fungi Trichoderma spp. and Aspergillus niger in solid state fermentation

“…Adhesion of Trichoderma and A. niger biomass on wheat straw leads to further changes in wheat straw structure. Changes of wheat straw tubules may be a consequence of hydrolysis of cellulose by enzymes from the cellulolytic complex (Hansen et al, 2011). Wheat straw changes can be visualized by the use of more detailed techniques, such as scanning electron and atomic force microscopy (Kristensen et al, 2008), as well.…”

Alkali Pretreatment of Wheat Straw (Triticum aestivum) at Boiling Temperature for Producing a Bioethanol Precursor

“…One suitable option is to degrade lignocellulose from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) straw into fermentable sugars. 4) Approximately one-sixth of the total arable land in the world is cultivated for wheat. It grows rapidly on crude land and there has been increased wheat planting in Korea.…”

Pre-treatment and extraction techniques for recovery of added value compounds from wastes throughout the agri-food chain

“…Some of the lignin is thought to melt at these extreme temperatures and can re-coalesce in a droplet form afterwards. 32 Secondly, hemicellulosic polysaccharides that coat the cellulose microfibrils are partially hydrolysed, which further exposes the surface of the microfibril to the enzymes. 33 This hydrolysis is enhanced by the more acidic nature of water at the temperatures used.…”
