Bioconversion of Lignin and Glycerol to Polyhydroxyalkanoates Using Pseudomonas putida KT2440 Under Nutrient Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2023
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a type of bioplastic synthesized by several bacterial species using various carbon sources. PHAs are biocompatible, sustainable, and biodegradable, making them attractive alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics. However, the price of PHAs is currently...

Nanofiber production from agricultural straw biomass using pressurized fluids and ultrasound processing for tissue engineering scaffolds
DownloadSpring 2020
Agricultural straw is an abundant lignocellulosic biomass mainly composed of cellulose (33-75%), hemicellulose (13-37%) and lignin (3-31%) that offers great potential as a feed material for a biorefinery. Emerging technologies such as pressurized fluid fractionation and high-intensity ultrasound...

On the impact of drought-induced abiotic stress on the composition of Douglas-fir lignin for valorization
DownloadFall 2022
Rising interest in the transition to renewable energy, materials, and chemicals ushers biorefining strategies that effectively utilize all components of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks. Concurrently, more frequent and severe drought brought on by accelerating climate change pose questions...
