Oxidation Of Sugarcane Bagasse Using A Combination Of Hypochlorite And Peroxide, Yong-Jae Lee
Oxidation Of Sugarcane Bagasse Using A Combination Of Hypochlorite And Peroxide, Yong-Jae Lee
LSU Master's Theses
Sugarcane bagasse is a source of lignocellulosic biomass. It is a potential renewable energy source for ethanol production. It is naturally cheap, plentiful and has high cellulose content. The sugarcane bagasse contains 34.5% cellulose, 24% hemicellulose, and 22-25% lignin. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), singlet oxygen (1O2), superoxide (O2-), hydroxyl radicals (OH?, and hypochlorite ion (OCl-), were found to remove both hemicellulose and lignin from sugarcane bagasse. Ox-B (Day. 2004, US Patent 6,866,870), a solution of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide, was studied for its effectiveness as a pretreatment for lignocellulosic biomass. The cellulose structure of the bagasse was easily separated …

The effects of exogenous proteolytic enzyme (EPE) on intake, digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and lactational performance were determined using 8 lactating Holstein cows in a double 4 ×4 Latin square experiment with a 2 ×2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Diets based on barley silage and alfalfa hay as the forage sources were formulated to maintain different forage to concentrate ratios [60:40 vs. 34:66, dry matter (DM) basis]. Four dietary treatments were tested: high forage (HF) without EPE (HF−EPE), HF with EPE (HF+EPE), low forage (LF) without EPE (LF–EPE), and LF with EPE (LF+EPE). The EPE, which contained proteolytic activity but negligible …
Salinity Response Of Transgenic Potato Genotypes Expressing The Oxalate Oxidase Gene, Hakan Turhan
Salinity Response Of Transgenic Potato Genotypes Expressing The Oxalate Oxidase Gene, Hakan Turhan
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In vitro and in vivo responses of transgenic and non-transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes to salinity were investigated. A gene responsible for the production of oxalate oxidase enzyme, whose expression has been associated with plant stress tolerance, was used. Transgenic potato plants expressing the oxalate oxidase enzyme were produced using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenic nature of the plants was verified by their antibiotic (kanamycin) resistance and then in vitro enzyme assays. Four independent transgenic genotypes obtained from 2 cultivars, Maris Bard and Desiree, were tested at 5 levels of NaCl (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00% w/v) in vitro. …
