2. 1. Ethanol from woodCellulase enzyme production

   University dissertation from Department of Chemical Engineering, Lund University

   Author : Zsolt Szengyel; Lund University.; Lunds universitet.; [2000]
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical technology and engineering; FPA measurement; acetic acid; furfural; non-volatile; volatile; inhibition; pH; carbon source; liquid; solid; softwood; hardwood; cellulases; production; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : Conversion of biomass to liquid fuels, such as ethanol, has been investigated during the past decades. First due to the oil crisis of the 1970s and lately because of concerns about greenhouse effect, ethanol has been found to be a suitable substitute for gasoline in transportation. READ MORE

4. 2. Feruloyl esterases - Evaluation of their potential for biotechnological applications
