Summary: The addition of carbon sources to white rot fermentation straw can promote organic matter decomposition, shorten the fermentation cycle, and retain more nutrients in the straw feed. Glucose and molasses showed the greatest enhancement in the nutritional value of maize and rice straw after 14 days of solid-state fermentation. White rot fungi can improve the digestibility and palatability of poor quality straw.

Summary: Agro-food industrial residues, such as lignocellulosic waste, can be converted into value-added products using solid-state fermentation. This approach has economic and environmental advantages. There is a vast opportunity to develop cost-effective, sustainable biorefining technologies using lignocellulosic, starchy, and other agricultural by-products. The main components of lignocellulosic biomass are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which can be processed through various procedures to obtain biobased products. Biotechnology techniques and process engineering are critical in developing integrated processes for producing various value-added products from lignocellulosic biomass. This review focuses on the potential of different agricultural by-products, such as lignocellulosic, palm oil mill, brewing, and dairy biomass, in the biorefinery scenario.

Summary: Avicel cellulose was pretreated with two commonly used carboxylic acid-based deep eutectic solvents, choline chloride-lactic acid and choline chloride-formic acid. The pretreatment led to the formation of cellulose esters with lactic acid and formic acid, which was confirmed through spectroscopic analysis. Surprisingly, the esterified cellulose showed a significant decrease in enzymatic glucose yield compared to the untreated cellulose, but this reduction could be recovered by removing the ester groups through saponification. The decreased enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis may be attributed to changes in the interaction between the cellulose-binding domain of cellulase and the esterified cellulose.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
