This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Enzymic Hydrolysis of Cellulose and Related Materials documents the proceedings of a symposium held in March 1962. This book emphasizes the interests of contributors actively engaged in production and properties of the enzymes and cellulose decomposition. Despite the significance of enzymes, relatively little work has been done on this group of enzymes, which include cellulases, hemicellulases, xylanases, disaccharidases, and glycosidases. This compilation aims to have the biological aspects of celluloses and hemicelluloses recognized under the cellulose field, and the cellulases to be considered in future books about cellulose and wood. Other topics discussed in this selection include structural features of cellulose that influence its susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis; purification of cellulase and related enzymes; endwise degradation of cellulose; and applications for cellulases. This publication is beneficial to students and researchers conducting work on enzymes and cellulose decomposition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent economic trends, especially the worldwide decline in oil prices, and an altered political climate in the United States have combined to bring about major reductions in research on renewable energy resources. Yet there is no escaping the "facts of life" with regard to these resources. The days of inexpensive fossil energy are clearly numbered, the credibility of nuclear energy has fallen to a new low, and fusion energy stands decades or more from practical realization. Sooner than we may wish ,we will have to turn to renewable raw materials - plant "biomass" and, especially, wood - as significant suppliers of energy for both industry and everyday needs. It is therefore especially important to have a single, comprehensive and current source of information on a key step in any process for the technological exploitation of woody materials, cellulose hydrolysis. Further more, it is essential that any such treatment be unbiased with respect to the two methods - chemical and biochemical - for the breakdown of cellulose to sugars. Researchers on cellulose hydrolysis have frequently been chided by persons from industry, especially those individuals concerned with determining the economic feasibility of various technological alternatives. They tell us that schemes for the utilization of wood and other such resources fly in the face of economic realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention relates to the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to soluble sugars. A stable cellulase enzyme obtained from a culture of Trichoderma viride QM 9123 is combined with cellulose to form a suspension having at least 100 parts by weight of cellulose to each part by weight of crude enzyme protein. The cellulose-cellulase suspension is maintained at a pH of from 4.0 to 5.0 and the temperature is maintained within the range of from 25 to 50C, during hydrolysis. Under these conditions and with the continuous addition of fresh cellulose to maintain the above ratio of cellulose to cellulase, the cellulase enzyme is effectively immobilized by adsorption on unhydrolyzed cellulose, allowing the removal of the soluble sugars by simple separation procedures while retaining most of the otherwise soluble enzyme material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE This book . . . is focused on the structure and function relationships of the four major hydrolytic enzymes, cellulases, cellobiohydrolases, b-glucosidases, and xylanases as it relates to their mechanism of action. It should be of interest to biotechnologists and industrial researchers interested in manipulating these enzymes to their full potential as catalysts for various current and new applications. It begins with an overview of the nature of cellulose and heteroxylan, followed by a description of the enzymes involved in its hydrolysis, their general structure, characteristics, and classification. Chapter 3 discusses how these various enzymes are integrated and associated for the efficient solubilization of cellulose and heteroxylan. This includes a review of the literature concerning the cellulosomes and other cellulolytic complexes. The chapter on production and purification provides an overview of this subject matter. . . . These first four chapters thus set the stage for the more comprehensive discussion of the mechanism of action of each of the primary hydrolases which follows. . . . [T]he data pertaining to the catalytic mechanism of both the retaining and inverting forms of these enzymes since such studies were initiated on cellulases . . . in 1954 is reviewed in Chapter 5. The book concludes with an overview of the mode of action of the enzymes and a discussion, citing a few examples, of how the modern methods of molecular biology, enzymology, and X-ray crystallography are being used to manipulate selected enzymes for a variety of biotechnological and industrial purposes. The information in this new book will be of value to scientists and researchers working in the areas of biochemistry, botany, crop science, ecology, microbiology and mycology, in addition to those in the forestry and forest product industries.

Efficiency and Alternative Energy Technology Branch and published by The Branch. This book was released on 1990 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Final report of an examination of the mechanism and kinetics of the enzymatic hydrolysis process. The study compares several substrates and enzymes in hydrolysis systems and provides a framework for optimizing hydrolysis engineering analysis and reactor design. The report describes experimental studies of the kinetic factors that govern the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose by cellulase enzymes; experimental and modelling studies of hydrolysis systems, giving the results of six assays combined into a model of hydrolysis with no arbitrary assumptions; verifies the model predictions with experimental data; compares the experimental data for a wide variety of hydrolysis reactors; and evaluates a variety of designs for hydrolysis reactor systems. Cellulosic substrates used include Sigmacell, a pure, highly crystalline commercial cellulose; Acid-Swollen Cellulose, an amorphous material made from Sigmacell; and Exploded Wood Cellulose, a crystalline lignocellulose.
