Recent Efforts to Prevent Undesirable Reactions From Fractionation to Depolymerization of Lignin: Toward Maximizing the Value From Lignin

Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass along with cellulose and hemicellulose, currently underutilized with the bulk of technical lignin being combusted for heat generation in plant.From the technoeconomic perspective, the success of a future biorefinery is highly dependent on lignin valorization.However, structural complexity, hete

Resistance Force on a Spherical Intruder in Fluidized Bed

Insertion of large objects or intruders into granular material is common both in nature and industrial applications.During penetration due to collision between intruder and granular particles, south park fitted hat intruder experiences resistance or drag force (analogy from fluid).In literature, it is extensively studied that in dry packed beds gra

Trimeric autotransporter adhesins in members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex: a multifunctional family of proteins implicated in virulence

Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are multimeric surface proteins, involved in various biological traits of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria including adherence, biofilm formation, invasion, survival within eukaryotic cells, serum resistance and cytotoxicity.TAAs have a modular architecture composed by a conserved membrane-anchored C-termin
