Abstract
β-glucosidase is an essential enzyme for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, as it catalyzes the final stage of cellulose breakdown, releasing glucose. This paper aims to produce β-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and evaluate the enzymatic degradation of delignified sugarcane bagasse. S. cerevisiae was grown in yeast peptone dextrose medium. Partial purification of the enzyme was achieved through precipitating proteins with ethanol, and the optimal activity was measured by optimizing pH and temperature. The effects of ions, glucose tolerance, and heat treatment were evaluated. Delignified sugarcane bagasse was hydrolyzed by the enzyme. β-glucosidase showed a specific activity of 14.0712 ± 0.0207 U mg-1. Partial purification showed 1.22-fold purification. The optimum pH and temperature were 6.24 and 54 °C, respectively. β-glucosidase showed tolerance to glucose, with a relative activity of 71.27 ± 0.16%. Thermostability showed a relative activity of 58.84 ± 0.91% at 90 °C. The hydrolysis of delignified sugarcane bagasse showed a conversion rate of 87.97 ± 0.10% in the presence of Zn2+, an ion that promoted the highest increase in enzymatic activity. S. cerevisiae produced an extracellular β-glucosidase with good stability at pH and temperatures conventionally applied in the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, showing viability for industrial application.

Abstract
Bioethanol is obtained by hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse by cellulases. Commercial cellulases are expensive and have a low concentration of β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21), which decrease hydrolysis efficiency. The present work aims to produce supernatant rich in β-glucosidase (BGL) using the yeast Rhodotorula oryzicola and apply it in the hydrolysis of delignified sugarcane bagasse. Yeast fermented in a modified YPD (Yeast Peptone Dextrose) medium with 0.5% (w/v) cellobiose and 1.0% (w/v) glucose produced BGL with a specific activity of 1.44 ± 0.013 U/mg. Partial purification of BGL by acetone showed a specific activity of 3.48 U/mg. The optimum pH and temperature were 6.02 and 65 °C, respectively. BGL partially purified (BGLppR.oryzicola) by acetone showed tolerance to glucose, with a relative activity of 82.89 ± 0.11%. The activity increased with the addition of iron sulfate and zinc sulfate and decreased with manganese sulfate. BGL partially purified was thermal stable, with a relative activity of 85.59% after 60 min at 90 °C. BGL partially purified applied in the hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse delignified with 3% (w/w) NaOH + 6% (w/w) Na2SO3 showed a conversion rate of 72.46 ± 1.60%. The results showed that BGL partially purified is a glucose tolerant cellulase of low-cost, promising the application of bioethanol production.

Abstract
Sulfite pretreatment is a productive process for lignin dissolution in lignocelluloses and to reduce the hydrophobicity of lignin by sulfonation, thus promoting the hydrolyzability of the substrate. Previously, sulfite pretreatment needs high dosages of chemicals and thus results in the high cost of the pretreatment and the great pressure of environmental pollution. To overcome these problems, it was crucial to research whether alkaline sulfite pretreatment (ALS) and acid sulfite pretreatment (ACS) with low chemical loading could enhance the saccharification of poplar. In this work, the results indicated that with low loading of chemicals in sulfite pretreatment, ALS pretreatment (1.6% Na2SO3 and 0.5% NaOH) at 180 °C removed more lignin, resulted in lower hydrophobicity and higher cellulase adsorption capacity of poplar than ACS pretreatment (1.6% Na2SO3 and 0.5% H2SO4) at 180 °C. A satisfying glucose yield of 84.9% and a xylose yield of 76.0% were obtained from poplar after ALS pretreatment with 1.6% Na2SO3 and 0.5% NaOH at 180 °C for 1 h using 10 FPU cellulase/g dry matter, saving sodium sulfite by 60.0% compared to the loading of sulfite in traditional sulfite pretreatment. The strategy developed in this work reduced chemical loading and cellulase loading in alkali sulfite pretreatment for the saccharification of poplar.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases (BGLs) belong to the group of enzymes of cellulases and act in the last stage of cellulose degradation, releasing glucose molecules, eliminating the inhibitory effect of cellobiose. This study focused on the production, characterization, and application of BGL from Moniliophthora perniciosa in the hydrolysis of pretreated sugarcane bagasse (3% NaOH + 6% Na2 SO3 ), with varying enzymatic loads and reaction times. The enzyme showed an optimum pH of 4.5 and 60°C. It was stable at all temperatures analyzed (50-90°C) and retained about 100% of its activity at 50°C after 60 min of incubation. Among the ions analyzed, BaCl2 increased BGL activity 9.04 ± 1.41 times. The maximum production of reducing sugars (89.15%) was achieved after 48 h with 10 mg of protein.

Abstract
This work proposed an integrated process based on alkali-sulfite (AlkSul) pretreatment to coproduce fermentable sugars and lignin adsorbents from hardwood. Different from conventional liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment, this pretreatment improved cellulose accessibility through selective lignin removal and modification, resulting in significantly enhanced biomass saccharification. Over 75% of the original cellulose and hemicellulose was released and could be recovered as fermentable sugars after pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Meanwhile, lignin residues from pretreatment hydrolysate and enzymatic hydrolysate showed lead ions adsorption capacities of 156.25 and 68.49 mg/g, respectively, indicating both streams of lignin residues were favorable adsorbents for heavy metal ions. The improved adsorption capacity of lignin residues was primarily due to the lignin modification as sulfur-containing functional groups incorporation during the integrated pretreatment. Results demonstrated the integrated alkali-sulfite pretreatment improved biomass saccharification, while coproducing lignin adsorbents for wastewater treatment, which can promote the sustainability of lignocellulosic biorefinery.
