Geographical Assessment of Microalgae Biofuels Potential Incorporating Resource Availability
26-11-2012 | Jason C. Quinn, Kimberly B. Catton, Sara Johnson, Thomas H. Bradley, BioEnergy Research, 2012
Previous assessments of the economic feasibility and large-scale productivity of microalgae biofuels have not considered the impacts of land and carbon dioxide (CO2) availability on the scalability of microalgae-based biofuels production. To accurately assess the near-term productivity ...
Chemistry and Microbial Functional Diversity Differences in Biofuel Crop and Grassland Soils in Multiple Geographies
26-11-2012 | Lidia S. Watrud, Jay R. Reichman, Michael A. Bollman, Bonnie M. Smith, E. Henry Lee, Julie D. Jastrow, Michael D. Ca ..., BioEnergy Research, 2012
We obtained soil samples from geographically diverse switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) crop sites and from nearby reference grasslands and compared their edaphic properties, microbial gene diversity and abundance, and active microbial biomass content. We ...
Bioenergy Traits of Ten Switchgrass Populations Grown in the Northeastern/Mid-Atlantic USA
09-11-2012 | Laura M. Cortese, Stacy A. Bonos, BioEnergy Research, 2012
Although switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has emerged as a bioenergy crop throughout the midwestern and southern USA, little evaluation has been conducted on the performance of switchgrass as a bioenergy crop in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic. The objectives of this study were to evaluate ...
Composition and Structure of Sugarcane Cell Wall Polysaccharides: Implications for Second-Generation Bioethanol Production
05-11-2012 | Amanda P. de Souza, Débora C. C. Leite, Sivakumar Pattathil, Michael G. Hahn, Marcos S. Buckeridge, BioEnergy Research, 2012
The structure and fine structure of leaf and culm cell walls of sugarcane plants were analyzed using a combination of microscopic, chemical, biochemical, and immunological approaches. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that leaves and culm display autofluorescence and lignin distributed ...
Yield and Woody Biomass Traits of Novel Shrub Willow Hybrids at Two Contrasting Sites
31-10-2012 | Michelle J. Serapiglia, Kimberly D. Cameron, Arthur J. Stipanovic, Lawrence P. Abrahamson, Timothy A. Volk, Lawrence ..., BioEnergy Research, 2012
Shrub willow has great potential as a dedicated bioenergy crop, but commercialization and adoption by growers and end-users will depend upon the identification and selection of high-yielding cultivars with biomass chemistry and quality amenable to conversion to biofuels and bioenergy. In this ...
Leaf Functional Traits and Stem Wood Characteristics Influencing Biomass Productivity of Mulberry (Morus spp. L) Genotypes Grown in Short-Rotation Coppice System
31-10-2012 | Anirban Guha, Attipalli Ramachandra Reddy, BioEnergy Research, 2012
The present study was undertaken to obtain insights into the productivity determinant traits of mulberry (Morus spp. L.), a potential bioenergy tree crop. Our objectives were to identify leaf functional traits and stem wood characteristics that are correlated to biomass yield of mulberry. ...
Substrate-Related Factors Affecting Enzymatic Saccharification of Lignocelluloses: Our Recent Understanding
31-10-2012 | Shao-Yuan Leu, J. Y. Zhu, BioEnergy Research, 2012
Enzymatic saccharification of cellulose is a key step in conversion of plant biomass to advanced biofuel and chemicals. Many substrate-related factors affect saccharification. Rather than examining the role of each individual factor on overall saccharification efficiency, this study examined ...
Characterization of Lignins Isolated with Alkaline Ethanol from the Hydrothermal Pretreated Tamarix ramosissima
29-10-2012 | Ling-Ping Xiao, Zheng-Jun Shi, Feng Xu, Run-Cang Sun, BioEnergy Research, 2012
The objective of this study was to characterize the changes in lignin structure during hydrothermal pretreatment of shrub Tamarix ramosissima. Lignins in residual wood meal were isolated with alkaline ethanol solution and recovered with acid precipitation. A comparison between the recovered ...
Changes in Phenolics Distribution After Chemical Pretreatment and Enzymatic Conversion of Miscanthus × giganteus Internode
29-10-2012 | N. Belmokhtar, A. Habrant, N. Lopes Ferreira, B. Chabbert, BioEnergy Research, 2012
In addition to lignin, grass cell walls are characterized by the presence of hydroxycinnamic acids that play a significant role in cross-linking polymers into a cohesive network, and pretreatments are required to overcome the recalcitrance of lignocelluloses prior to enzymatic bioconversion ...
De Novo Sequencing and Global Transcriptome Analysis of Nannochloropsis sp. (Eustigmatophyceae) Following Nitrogen Starvation
29-10-2012 | Chengwei Liang, Shaona Cao, Xiaowen Zhang, Baohua Zhu, Zhongliang Su, Dong Xu, Xiangyu Guang, Naihao Ye, BioEnergy Research, 2012
Nannochloropsis sp. is an economically and nutritionally important microalga. Recently it has been demonstrated that Nannochloropsis sp. has significant potential for biofuel production. To determine the mechanisms of lipid formation and accumulation during nitrogen starvation, a ...
