Turkish Journal of Biology
During the process of industrial production of biofuels and biochemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, large amounts of waste byproducts rich in xylose are generated, resulting in excessive wastage of natural resources and environmental pollution. In this work, xylose solution from corncob hydrolysate was utilized to produce 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), using the strain Enterobacter cloacae CICC 10011 to improve the utilization rate of hemicellulose and reduce environmental pollution. 2,3-BD fermentation conditions were subsequently developed. Xylose solution and (NH4)2HPO4, selected with the Plackett-Burman experiment, were determined as significant independent variables to conduct a response surface experiment. With the optimized medium, 50.02 g/L 2,3-BD production …

A uniform feature of all plant cells is the presence of a cell wall. The cell wall functions in facilitating directional expansion and is therefore important for cell shape and morphogenesis. All plant cell walls contain cellulose microfibrils embedded in a network of polysaccharides, lignin and protein. Cellulose is evolutionarily conserved and is made by all plants as well as other members of various taxonomic kingdoms. From a human perspective, the field of renewable energy has had an ever increasing interest in using the cell wall for production of renewable platform chemicals and fuels. However, the biosynthesis of these components …
