ISBN: 0841238316 ISBN-13: 9780841238312 Publisher: American Chemical Society OUR PRICE: $435.75 Product Type: Hardcover Published: August 2003 * Not available - Not in print at this time *Annotation: Applications of Enzymes to Lignocellulosics covers research focusing on understanding the fundamental microbiology, biochemistry, genetics and enzymology of microorganisms and their extracellular enzymes, while concurrently manipulating these biocatalysts to alter lignocellulosic processing in an environmentally benign manner. Furthermore, it demonstrates recent findings in a number of areas related to forestry, pulp and paper, and wood-derived products, including: xylanase-aided biobleaching, direct bleaching with oxidative enzymes, enzyme-induced modifications to inherent fibre morphology, improved paper recycling, enzymatic de-inking, mill whitewater remediation, and conversion of lignocellulosic to value-added products, such as fuel-grade ethanol. |
