Abstract
Hybrid Pennisetum, a top biomass energy source, faces usage limitations because of its scarce lactic acid bacteria and high fiber content. This study assessed the influence of rumen fluid pretreatment on hybrid Pennisetum's silage, with focus on silage duration and rumen fluid effects on quality and fiber decomposition. Advanced third-generation sequencing was used to track microbial diversity changes and revealed that rumen fluid considerably enhanced dry matter, crude protein, and water-soluble carbohydrates, thus improving fermentation quality to satisfactory pH levels (3.40-3.67). Ideal results, including the highest fiber breakdown and enzymatic efficiency (47.23 %), were obtained with 5 % rumen fluid in 60 days. The addition of rumen fluid changed the dominant species, including Paucilactobacillus vaccinostercus (0.00 % vs. 18.21 %) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (21.03 % vs. 47.02 %), and no Enterobacter was detected in the high-concentration treatments. Moreover, strong correlations were found between specific lactic acid bacteria and fermentation indicators, revealing the potential of achieving efficient and economically beneficial hybrid Pennisetum production.

Abdeljaber A, Abdallah M, Arab M, El Badawy A. Optimization of ultrasonication and alkalinization as pretreatment methods for leachate co-digested with food waste toward maximum synergistic effects. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142634. [PMID: 38885770 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of food waste (FW) and landfill leachate has shown promising results in enhancing the methane yield. However, leachate includes toxic and refractory compounds that may impact the decomposition process. In this research, co-digested leachate was pretreated using ultrasonication and alkalinization to manipulate its characteristics toward improved synergism with FW. Experimental optimization was conducted through biochemical methane potential (BMP) assays to identify the optimum operating conditions of the pretreatment methods. The study evaluated the synergistic effects of co-digestion with raw and pretreated leachate on enhancing the performance in terms of feedstock solubilization and methane production. The BMP test demonstrated that alkalinization and ultrasonication improved the total methane generation by 35% and 27%, respectively, yielding around 397 and 375 mL CH4 per g of volatile solids. Moreover, ultrasonication and alkalinization enhanced the synergistic effects by 28% and 36%, respectively, compared to co-digestion with untreated leachate. Optimization by response surface methodology revealed that maximum performance could be achieved with leachate sonication at 212 W for 37.5 min or augmenting 788 g NaOH per kg of volatile solids. Kinetic and statistical models were derived to simulate and assess the impacts of the pretreatment parameters on the AcoD process. The results indicated that the ultrasonication energy had a higher influence on total solubility and methane production than alkaline dosage. Additionally, energy efficiency analyses were performed to examine the overall viability of the examined management approach and found that alkalinization increased the net energy efficiency by 23%, whereas ultrasonication was inefficient within the examined laboratory conditions despite the improved performance. The findings support an integrated organic waste management system where separated FW is co-treated with landfill leachate.

Performance of Halo-Alkali-Tolerant Endophytic Bacteria on Hybrid Pennisetum and Bacterial Community under Varying Soil Conditions. Microorganisms 2024; 12:1062. [PMID: 38930444 PMCID: PMC11205500 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12061062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Halo-alkali soil threatens agriculture, reducing growth and crop yield worldwide. In this study, physicochemical and molecular techniques were employed to explore the potential of halo-alkali-tolerant endophytic bacteria strains Sphingomonas sp. pp01, Bacillus sp. pp02, Pantoea sp. pp04, and Enterobacter sp. pp06 to enhance the growth of hybrid Pennisetum under varying saline conditions. The strains exhibited tolerance to high salt concentrations, alkaline pH, and high temperatures. Under controlled conditions, all four strains showed significant growth-promoting effects on hybrid Pennisetum inoculated individually or in combination. However, the effects were significantly reduced in coastal saline soil. The best growth-promoting effect was achieved under greenhouse conditions, increasing shoot fresh and dry weights of hybrid Pennisetum by up to 457.7% and 374.7%, respectively, using irrigating trials. Metagenomic sequencing analysis revealed that the diversity and composition of rhizosphere microbiota underwent significant changes after inoculation with endophytic bacteria. Specifically, pp02 and co-inoculation significantly increased the Dyella and Pseudomonas population. Firmicutes, Mycobacteria, and Proteobacteria phyla were enriched in Bacillus PP02 samples. These may explain the best growth-promoting effects of pp02 and co-inoculation on hybrid Pennisetum under greenhouse conditions. Our findings reveal the performance of endophytic bacterial inoculants in enhancing beneficial microbiota, salt stress tolerance, and hybrid Pennisetum growth.

Abstract
The mixed treatment of municipal sludge and food waste can generate renewable energy, solve the environmental and economic challenges caused by this waste, and has attracted significant research attention. Using environmentally friendly anaerobic co-digestion of municipal sludge and food waste can improve the effects of anaerobic mono-digestion and produce more biogas. However, as the municipal sludge and food waste managers are different, balancing the interests of both managers is needed to encourage anaerobic co-digestion development. By fully considering the interests of the local authority, the waste water treatment plants, and the food waste anaerobic digestion treatment plants, this paper developed a bi-level optimization approach based on Stackelberg equilibrium theory to resolve the conflicts between the different stakeholders, in which uncertain parameters were used to describe the uncertainties. The proposed model was then applied to a real case in Chongqing, China, to test its practicality, and scenario analyses under different policy parameter values were conducted to provide guidance for local authorities, waste water treatment plants, and food waste treatment plants. The proposed approach was found to provide balanced strategies for all three stakeholders, increase the renewable energy output of municipal sludge and food waste treatment 14.2 times, and reduce carbon emissions by 50%, thereby protecting the environment and achieving a circular economy.

Abstract
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into various high-value chemicals has been a rapid expanding research topic in industry and agriculture. Among them, alkaline removal and utilization of lignin are important for the accelerated degradation of biomass. Modern biorefinery has been focusing the vision on the advancement of economical, green, and environmentally friendly processes. Therefore, it is indispensable to develop cost-effective and simple biomass conversion technologies to obtain high-value products. In this study, the black liquor (BL) obtained from the alkaline pretreatment of biomass was added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution and used to prepare degradable ultraviolet (UV) shielding films, achieving direct and efficient utilization of the aqueous phase from alkaline pretreatment. This method avoids the extraction step of lignin fraction from black liquor, which can be directly utilized as the raw materials of films preparation. In addition, the direct use of alkaline BL results in films with similar UV-shielding properties, higher physical strength, and similar thermal stability compared with films made by commercial alkaline lignin. Therefore, this strategy is proposed for alkaline-pretreated biorefineries as a simple way to convert waste BL into valuable products and partially recover unconsumed sodium hydroxide to achieve as much integration of biomass and near zero-waste biorefineries as possible.

Abstract
A large amount of eggplant stalk (ES) is incinerated after harvesting of eggplant every year, which aggravates environmental pollution and waste of resources. Converting ES into methane through anaerobic digestion (AD) technology may be a potential treatment method, considering the low environmental impact and high energy recovery. Firstly, this study explored the effects of organic loading (OL) and feed to inoculum ratio (F/I ratio) on the AD of ES by response surface methodology (RSM). In order to achieve higher AD efficiency, various pretreatments (acid, alkali, alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP), microwave, and ultrasound) were introduced and comprehensively assessed with regard to methane production, organic matter destruction, and kinetic parameters. Results showed that OL had a more significant impact on AD process compared to F/I ratio and methane production was enhanced remarkably when the OL and F/I ratio were 35.0 g VS/L and 3.0, respectively. XRD, FTIR, and SEM analyses of pretreated ES showed that alkali and AHP pretreatments performed better in delignification. Under optimal conditions, the ES pretreated with 1.5% AHP (adjusted by KOH) performed the maximum methane production of 262.2 mL/g VS with a biodegradability of 95.0%, which increased by 334.1% compared to untreated ES. This paper not only provides the theoretical data about methane production performance of ES but also gives practical guidance for efficient utilization of similar vegetable stalk biowastes, which is also promising for large-scale industrial applications in the future.

Abstract
Copious amounts of cucumber vine (CV) derived from crop growing and harvesting are casually discarded in the field, posing severely negative impacts on public health and the ecological environment. Treating CV via anaerobic digestion (AD) could represent a promising approach while the recalcitrant lignocellulosic structure restricts its conversion efficiency, thus underscoring the importance of valid pretreatments. This study systematically investigated the effects of nine types of commonly applied chemical pretreatments involved H2SO4, HCl, H3PO4, NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, CaO, H2O2, and alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) pretreatments on methane production of CV. Results showed that alkaline and AHP pretreatments were beneficial to the methane production of CV and obtained the considerable cumulative methane yield and biodegradability of 194.3-241.5 mL·gVS-1 and 47.59-59.15%, respectively, 36.83-70.07% higher than untreated. Analyses of lignocellulosic compositions and structural characterizations revealed that alkaline and AHP pretreatments well destroyed both hemicellulose and lignin, which commendably increased the accessibility of cellulose, facilitating the methane production. The findings of this study provide not only efficient pretreatment methods for the disposal and utilization of CV during AD process but also promising alternatives for enhancing methane production performance of similar vine residues, which would be greatly valuable for industrial applications in the future.

Abstract
This study sought to investigate the effect of bioaugmentation on batch anaerobic digestion of chicken manure. The digestion performance with and without bioaugmentation and bioaugmented efficiency under different dosages were compared. The results demonstrated that bioaugmentation increased the methane yield and shortened the methane production time in batch reactors. Compared to the un-bioaugmented control, the methane yield of bioaugmented digesters was increased by 1.2-, 1.7-, 2.2-, 3.4-, and 3.6-fold at addition ratios of 0.07, 0.14, 0.21, 0.27, and 0.34 g VS bioaugmentation seed (BS)/g VSCM, respectively. However, higher bioaugmentation doses (0.34 g VSBS/g VSCM) did not exhibit significantly improved bioaugmentation efficiency, thus, the recommended dose is 0.27 g VSBS/g VSCM for biomethane conversion of CM. Moreover, whole genome pyrosequencing revealed that Methanoculleus and Methanobrevibacter predominated the non-bioaugmentation digesters, whereas Methanothrix, Methanobacterium, and Methanomassiliicoccus were the dominant methanogens in bioaugmentation digesters. The increased methane may be explained by an increase in the Methanothrix population, which accelerated acetic acid degradation. With bioaugmentation the mainly methanogenic pathways have become more diverse. From gene function perspective, bioaugmentation enhanced metabolic activities in digestor which function better in metabolism.

Abstract
An appropriate pretreatment process is an important part of the preparation of biomass energy from agricultural and forestry waste. Compared to physical and chemical pretreatments alone, the combined ammoniated fiber explosion (AFEX) + hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) pretreatment process can significantly improve the lignin degradation rate and saccharification efficiency, thus improving the hydrogen production capacity during medium-temperature dark fermentation. This study showed that the combined pretreatment increased the saccharification efficiency of herbaceous, hardwood, and softwood biomass by 58.7, 39.5, and 20.6% and the corresponding gas production reached 145.49, 80.75, and 57.52 mL/g, respectively. In addition, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that AFEX + H2O2 disrupted the structure of the feedstock and was more favorable for lignin removal. Soluble metabolites indicated that AFEX + H2O2 pretreatment enhanced the butyrate metabolic pathway of the substrate and biohydrogen generation and increased the levels of extracellular polymers and microbial community structure.

[PMID: 34838978 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.126426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the impact of initial pH on the production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) of hybrid Pennisetum was investigated. The batch experiments were conducted under six distinct beginning pH at a mesophilic temperature. Initial pH had an obvious effect on VFA yield and composition, and severe alkaline circumstances (pHin = 11.0) could boost VFA production and acetic acid selectivity. The highest VFAs yield and acetate proportion were obtained when the initial pH was 11.0, with 518 ± 29 mg g-1VS and 92%. Furthermore, microbial community analysis showed that alkaliphilic acetogenic anaerobe such as Amphibacillus, Tissierella, and Natronincola were the dominant species when the initial pH was 11.0. The Amphibacillus is the main hydrolysis bacterium under these conditions because of its high ability for xylan degradation at pH 9.0-10.0. Because of the increased VFA yield and superior acetic acid selectivity, the results suggest that adjusting the initial pH to 11.0 in batch mode would be possible for scaling-up purposes.

Abstract
When dealing with lignocellulosic biomass in anaerobic digestion, a pretreatment stage is always required to open the structure of the material, facilitating its degradation. Numerous methods have been developed to pretreat lignocellulosic biomass. Four of them: cavitation, pelleting, extrusion and torrefaction have been comparatively studied in this paper as ways to improve the production of methane by anaerobic digestion of two different feedstocks: barley straw and vine shoots. Additionally, how the selected pretreatments and the nature of the feedstock influence the formation of individual volatile fatty acids was examined. Cavitation was revealed as the most efficient pretreatment, increasing 240% and 360% the methane production for barley straw and vine shoots, respectively, although in absolute terms, barley straw has higher production rate and yield than vine shoots. Torrefaction carried out at 180 °C increased methane production, 81% for straw and 25% for vine shoots, while the process at higher temperatures (220 °C) negatively affected biogas production from both feedstocks. Finally, volatile fatty acids accumulation seems to neutralize any potential positive effects of densification pretreatments.

Abstract
Corn straw (CS) was pretreated by ultrasonic combined aerobic with biogas slurry as medium for anaerobic digestion (AD), that strengthened the degradation efficiency CS, varied in the composition of digestion slurry, thereby the methane production was increased. Central combinatorial design (CCD) test was used to treat CS at ultrasonic power (200, 400, and 600 W), time (10, 20, and 30 min) and AD for 25 days, at 37 ± 1℃. According to data showed that the pH and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) affected methane production directly. With an ultrasonic power 309 W, time 26 min, it reached the maximum content of VFAs with 16.24 g/L, the cumulative methane production achieved the highest with 198.56 mL/g VS, which was 46.73% higher than unpretreated raw material as CK. Ultrasonic-aerobic hydrolysis pretreatment can obtain higher VFAs and methane production content in a short period of time that is great significance to biogas engineering.

Abstract
The increase in global population size over the past 100 decades has doubled the requirements for energy resources. To mitigate the limited fossil fuel available, new clean energy sources being environmental sustainable for replacement of traditional energy sources are explored to supplement the current scarcity. Biomass containing lignin and cellulose is the main raw material to replace fossil energy given its abundance and lower emission of greenhouse gases and NOx when transformed into energy. Bacteria, fungi and algae decompose lignocellulose leading to generation of hydrogen, methane, bioethanol and biodiesel being the clean energy used for heating, power generation and the automobile industry. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) uses microorganisms to decompose biomass in wastewater to generate electricity and remove heavy metals in wastewater. Biomass contains cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and other biomacromolecules which need hydrolyzation for conversion into small molecules by corresponding enzymes in order to be utilized by microorganisms. This paper discusses microbial decomposition of biomass into clean energy and the five major ways of clean energy production, and its economic benefits for future renewable energy security.

Assessment of Coproduction of Ethanol and Methane from Pennisetum purpureum: Effects of Pretreatment, Process Performance, and Mass Balance. ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING 2021; 9:10771-10784. [PMID: 35141053 PMCID: PMC8815079 DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.1c02010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Revised: 07/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
To overcome the structural complexity and improve the bioconversion efficiency of Pennisetum purpureum into bioethanol or/and biomethane, the effects of ensiling pretreatment, NaOH pretreatment, and their combination on digestion performance and mass flow were comparatively investigated. The coproduction of bioethanol and biomethane showed that 65.2 g of ethanol and 102.6 g of methane could be obtained from 1 kg of untreated Pennisetum purpureum, and pretreatment had significant impacts on the production; however, there is no significant difference between the results of NaOH pretreatment and ensiling-NaOH pretreatment in terms of production improvement. Among them, 1 kg of ensiling-NaOH treated Pennisetum purpureum could yield 269.4 g of ethanol and 144.5 g of methane, with a respective increase of 313.2% and 40.8% compared to that from the untreated sample; this corresponded to the final energy production of 14.5 MJ, with the energy conversion efficiency of 46.8%. In addition, for the ensiling-NaOH treated Pennisetum purpureum, the energy recovery from coproduction (process III) was 98.9% higher than that from enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation only (process I) and 53.6% higher than that from anaerobic digestion only (process II). This indicated that coproduction of bioethanol and biomethane from Pennisetum purpureum after ensiling and NaOH pretreatment is an effective method to improve its conversion efficiency and energy output.

Abstract
Fungus, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, was used for the pretreatment of broiler farm derived-lignocellulosic bedding material (rice husk) to enhance the subsequent solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD). Fungal pretreatment efficacy was evaluated through a series of batch studies with respect to carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio and pretreatment time. Lignocellulosic outer layer structure disruption of the rice husk was prominent under the best fungal pretreatment condition evaluated (C/N ratio of 18.9 and pretreatment time of 7 days). Consequently, the resulting methane yield of 438.1 ± 20.0 NmL/gVSadded was obtained which was ~2.0-folds higher than that of the control (without pretreatment). Furthermore, in semi-continuous SS-AD, fungal pretreatment could significantly enhance digestibility of organic substance in high solid loading (30% total solids) AD process by 3.2-folds and improve microbial kinetic parameters with subsequent daily methane yield improvement by 2.4-folds. Thus, fungal pretreatment could be an environmentally-friendly and effective low-cost approach for broiler farm-derived waste management to enhance SS-AD efficacy.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:21661-21673.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of walnut shells (WS) results in only a limited biomethane yield because of their high fibre content, which ultimately represents an essentially nonbiodegradable lignocellulosic biomass. In the present study, thermal (i.e. 50-250 °C), alkaline (i.e. 1-5% w/w NaOH) and combined alkaline-thermal (i.e. 4% w/w NaOH + 150 °C thermal) pretreatment methods have been applied to increase the anaerobic biodegradation of WS. The highest biomethane yields of 159.9 ± 6.8 mL CH4.g VS-1 and 169.8 ± 6.8 mL CH4.g VS-1 were achieved after pretreatment at both 250 °C and with 4% NaOH. After combined NaOH-thermal pretreatments, the AD process showed the largest total VFA concentration (i.e. 1280.1 mg Hac L-1) but a relatively high lag phase (i.e. 3.90 days) compared to thermal and NaOH pretreatments alone, from which the highest biomethane yield (i.e. 192.4 ± 8.2 mL CH4.g VS-1 ) was achieved at the end of the AD process. The highest biomethane yield from the combined NaOH-thermal pretreated WS was corroborated by the corresponding highest SCOD/TCOD ratio (i.e. 0.37 ± 0.02) and the highest lignocellulosic fibre removal (i.e. 41.1 ± 2.7% cellulose, 35.6 ± 1.8% hemicellulose, and 58.7 ± 3.2% lignin). The cumulative biomethane yields were further simulated via a modified Gompertz model. This study provides a promising strategy in the sense that the biomethane yield of WS containing large amounts of lignin can be significantly increased via thermal, NaOH, and combined NaOH-thermal pretreatment methods.

Abstract
This study proposes new perspectives for the management and biorefinery of wastes deriving from the agri-food sector such as chestnut shell (CS), which was here used as an organic feedstock for biomethane production through anaerobic digestion (AD). 1-5% alkaline (i.e. NaOH and KOH), hydrothermal (i.e. at 100 °C) and combined hydrothermal-alkaline pretreatments were employed to enhance the CS biodegradability prior to biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests conducted under mesophilic conditions. The hydrothermally-pretreated CS with 3% NaOH achieved the highest biomethane yield of 253 (±9) mL CH4·g VS-1 coupled to a volatile solid reduction of 48%. The hydrothermal-alkaline pretreatment positively affected both delignification and hemicellulose polymerization, promoting an approximately 2.4-fold higher substrate biodegradability compared to the untreated CS, which only reached a CH4 production of 104 (±5) mL CH4·g VS-1. AD proceeded via volatile fatty acid accumulation, subsequently followed by methane production that was effectively simulated via the modified Gompertz kinetic having a R2 of 0.974-0.999. Among the physical-chemical parameters characterizing the CS, the soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) was highly correlated with the BMP showing a Pearson coefficient of 0.952. The cumulative biomethane yield, the sCOD and the cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin amount of CS were also processed through the least square method, obtaining a useful regression equation to predict the BMP. The economic assessment indicated that the hydrothermal-alkaline pretreatment is a cost-effective method to improve the BMP of CS, also for future full-scale applications.

Abstract
In this study, a rapid detection method based on near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy was proposed for measuring the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in corn stover. In the basis of strategies of variable selection, feature extraction and nonlinear modeling, BiPLS-PCA-SVM was constructed using backward interval partial least squares combined with principal component analysis and support vector machine, which was used to improve the performance of spectral regression calibration model. For BiPLS-PCA-SVM model, the determination coefficients, root mean squared error and residual predictive deviation for the validation set were 0.906, 0.900% and 3.213 for cellulose; 0.987, 0.797% and 9.071 for hemicellulose; and 0.936, 0.264% and 4.024 for lignin, correspondingly. The results indicate that near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy combined with BiPLS-PCA-SVM can provide a reliable alternative strategy to detect contents of lignocellulosic components for pretreated corn stover in the anaerobic digestion process.

Abstract
There are various lignocellulosic biomass pretreatments that act as attractive strategies to improve anaerobic digestion for methane (CH4) generation. This study proposes an effective technique to obtain more CH4via the hydrothermal coupled calcium peroxide (CaO2) co-cellulase pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass. The total organic carbon in the hydrolysate of samples treated with 6% CaO2 and 15 mg enzyme per g-cellulose was 7330 mg L−1, which represented an increase of 92.39% over the total organic carbon value of samples hydrolyzed with the enzyme alone. The promotion of the anaerobic digestion of wheat straw followed this order: hydrothermal coupled CaO2 co-cellulase pretreatment > hydrothermal coupled CaO2 pretreatment > enzymatic pretreatment alone > control group. The sample treated with 6% CaO2 and 15 mg enzyme per g-cellulose gave the highest CH4 production with a CH4 yield of 214 mL g−1 total solids, which represented an increase of 64.81% compared to the control group. The CH4 yield decreased slightly when the amount of added cellulase exceeded 15 mg enzyme per g-cellulose. This work reports methane production from wheat straw pretreated with CaO2/cellulase.![]()

Abstract
In this study, ten spent edible fungus (SEF) with different compositional features were used for the maximum methanogenic potential (P0) evaluation, and the prediction models including regression and kinetics based on this were developed separately. The results showed that the regression model with more chemical components had a good correlation with the P0, and at least three chemical compositions could reach the threshold of sensitivity. The Cone model showed the best fitting effect on P0 in all kinetic models, which had higher R-square (>0.994) and lower error (1.004-5.672%). Meanwhile, the minimum digestive testing time (14 days) was determined by the evaluation of sensitivity via statistical indicators. It is concluded that the determination of the prediction model of P0 should be evaluated with the combination of statistical indicators and specific requirements.

Abstract
Weak-base pretreatment of wheat straw was investigated for its ability to improve biomethane production. Anaerobic digestion (AD) was performed on wheat straw pretreated with 3%, 5%, or 7% Na2CO3 as a weak base. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra demonstrated disruption of lignocellulosic structures by pretreatment. In the 5% Na2CO3 treatment group, cellulose and hemicellulose were retained effectively, with efficient removal of lignin. The removal rates of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were 27.9%, 20.4%, and 31.0%, respectively, after 5% Na2CO3 pretreatment. The methane content (53.3-77.3%) was improved in the 5% Na2CO3 treatment group, with maximum methane production (307.9 L/kg VS) that was 41.6% higher than that of the untreated sample. Cellulose and hemicelluloses were degraded 59.3% and 56.3% after AD. It took 20 days to reach 80% of the maximum cumulative methane production for the 5% Na2CO3 pretreatment group, which was 4 days faster than the untreated group. These results indicate that 5% Na2CO3 pretreatment improve the lignocellulose structure of wheat straw, allowing better biodegradability of wheat straw in AD for increased biogas production, enhanced methane content, and decreased digestion time.

Abstract
This study aimed at evaluating the valorization of a typical yard waste, phoenix tree leaf (PTL), through mild alkali pretreatment followed by anaerobic digestion (AD). To this end, L9 Taguchi orthogonal biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests and semi-continuous AD experiments were conducted to examine the optimum pretreatment condition and the long term effect of alkali pretreatment on AD. The community structure evolutions were analyzed by high throughput 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. The results indicated that alkali pretreatment was effective on decrystallization and releasing more surface of PTL for enzyme attacking. The methane yield was positively correlated with lignin removal (R2=0.8242). In semi-continuous mode, 151.5±7.9 mL/g VS of the methane yield was obtained for alkali pretreated PTL, which was 80% higher than that of untreated one. Microbial community analysis indicated that alkali pretreatment led to a higher abundance of dominated bacteria (Bacteroidetes and Clostridia) and archaea of Methanosaeta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wood provides an important biomass resource for biofuel production around the world. The radial growth of tree stems is central to biomass production for forestry and biofuels, but it is challenging to dissect genetically because it is a complex trait influenced by many genes. In this study, we adopted methods of physiology, transcriptomics and genetics to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of tree radial growth and wood development. RESULTS Physiological comparison showed that two Populus genotypes presented different rates of radial growth of stems and accumulation of woody biomass. A comparative transcriptional network approach was used to define and characterize functional differences between two Populus genotypes. Analyses of transcript profiles from wood-forming tissue of the two genotypes showed that 1542, 2295 and 2110 genes were differentially expressed in the pre-growth, fast-growth and post-growth stages, respectively. The co-expression analyses identified modules of co-expressed genes that displayed distinct expression profiles. Modules were further characterized by correlating transcript levels with genotypes and physiological traits. The results showed enrichment of genes that participated in cell cycle and division, whose expression change was consistent with the variation of radial growth rates. Genes related to secondary vascular development were up-regulated in the faster-growing genotype in the pre-growth stage. We characterized a BEL1-like (BELL) transcription factor, PeuBELL15, which was up-regulated in the faster-growing genotype. Analyses of transgenic Populus overexpressing as well as CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutants for BELL15 showed that PeuBELL15 improved accumulation of glucan and lignin, and it promoted secondary vascular growth by regulating the expression of genes relevant for cellulose synthases and lignin biosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS This study illustrated that active division and expansion of vascular cambium cells and secondary cell wall deposition of xylem cells contribute to stem radial increment and biomass accumulation, and it identified relevant genes for these complex growth traits, including a BELL transcription factor gene PeuBELL15. This provides genetic resources for improving and breeding elite genotypes with fast growth and high wood biomass.

Abstract
In this work, black liquor as a waste from paper industry was used to pretreat corn stover before anaerobic digestion. The batch mode anaerobic digestion achieved a methane production up to 260.5 mL/g VS when the corn stover was pretreated the black liquor of 12 g NaOH/L alkalinity for 24 h, which was 59.1% higher than the control. In the semi-continuous mode anaerobic digestion, black liquor pretreatment increased the buffering capacity of the digestate to maintain suitable pH and total VFA/alkalinity ratio with no adverse effect resulted from the presence of ions. The structural and chemical changes of corn stover after the pretreatment were investigated to rationalize the enhanced performance of anaerobic digestion.

Abstract
Solids loading is a key factor in aqueous or gaseous ammonia production from urea. Methane production from urea-pretreated corn stover, as well as the physicochemical characteristics and delignification kinetics of the corn stover, were investigated with four solids loading values (10%-70%) and five ratios of urea to corn stover (1:100-7:10) at 35 °C for 6 weeks. A 1:20 ratio of urea to corn stover was optimal for achieving high lignin removal with ≤50% solids loading, and 7:10 was optimal with 70% solids loading. Under the two optimal conditions, 85.56% and 82.35% of cellulose and 85.76% and 85.49% of hemicellulose were retained. The maximum lignin removal rates of 69.67% and 68.27% and methane production of 294.70 and 292.56 L/kg volatile solids (VS) were achieved, respectively. The delignification kinetics of the urea-pretreated corn stover conformed to three first-order reactions. Most of the lignin was degraded within the first 3 weeks.

Abstract
This study is the first to integrate gamma-valerolactone/water (GVL/water) pretreatment with anaerobic digestion (AD) for biogas production and lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) synthesis. The hydrothermal treatment was conducted at 135 to 180 °C with GVL at 0 to 90%. After pretreatment, the compositions of hybrid pennisetum were changed with the removal of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose to different extent. Subsequent anaerobic digestion achieved a maximal specific methane yield of 228.00 ± 4.37 mL/g VS, compared with that at 165.11 ± 1.99 mL/g VS for the control. The highest actual methane yield (150 mL/g RM) was achieved by pretreatment with GVL/water (50/50) at 150 °C for 90 min. LNPs at 200 to 2000 nm were synthesized from the liquid waste with a yield at ~4 mg/mL. The mass balance of this integrated method was discussed. In general, the maximal valorisation of hybrid pennisetum was achieved based on a catalyst-free of GVL/water pretreatment.

Abstract
Energy grass is an ideal raw material of biomass energy, and hydrogen energy is one of the ideal renewable energy. In order to study the feasibility of different energy grasses for hydrogen production from photosynthetic organisms, the enzymatic hydrolysis of energy grasses is a very necessary process. Therefore, biohydrogen production from photo-fermentation by using energy grasses as substrates was investgated by changing enzymolysis time. The hydrogen production results were evaluated by the experimental results of hydrogen yield, hydrogen production rate and hydrogen production efficiency. The experimental results showed that Medicago sativa L. with enzymolysis time of 60 h had the highest hydrogen yield, which was 147.64 mL. The highest hydrogen production rate was 5.53 mL/(h·g TS), which was obtained from Arundo donax with enzymolysis time of 36 h, and the highest hydrogen production efficiency was 1.15 mL/(h·g TS), which was obtained from Miscanthus with enzymolysis time of 0 h.

The potential distribution can in-situ accelerate the reattachment of micro-organisms, which shorten the recovery time to 55% of the original. The long-term performance of MFCs were tested by electrochemical methods and found that the degradation of biosensors was mainly caused by the precipitation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the cathode surface and affected by concentration. More importantly, cleaning the electrode by an self-enhanced method without external assistance ECS (Electrodes Connection Switching) can improve the MFCs performance to 83.2 %-84.6%. Dual sensors system in UASB gives a novel possibility for UASB-MFC sensor self-sustaining in a long-term.

Abstract
Pretreatment process plays a key role in biofuel production from lignocellulosic feedstocks. A study on dilute NaOH pretreatment supplemented with H2O2 under mild condition was conducted to overcome the recalcitrance of grass waste (GW). The optimized process could selectively increase lignin removal (73.2%), resulting in high overall recovery of holocellulose (73.8%) as well as high enzymolysis efficiency (83.5%) compared to H2O2 or NaOH pretreatment. The analyses by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that supplementary H2O2 disrupted the structure of GW to facilitate the removal of lignin by NaOH, and exhibited synergistic effect on lignin removal and enzymolysis with dilute NaOH. Moreover, high titer of ethanol (100.7 g/L) was achieved by SSCF on 30% (w/v) pretreated GW loading. The present study suggests that the established synergistic pretreatment is a simple, efficient, and promising process for GW biorefinery.

Abstract
To enrich an acid-tolerant methanogenic culture used as bioaugmented seed under acidic conditions, we operated four semicontinuous digesters under various conditions of pH decline for producing methane at pH 5.0. 16S rRNA amplification was performed to unravel the association between declining pH and microbiome succession. The findings demonstrated that a gradual decrease of pH, at a step size of 0.5, and a prolonged run time at each pH could achieve a suitable microbial culture, in which acetoclastic Methanothrix and hydrogenotrophic Methanolinea represented the dominant methanogens. In contrast, a sharp decline in pH could result in heavy loss of the acetoclastic methanogen Methanothrix, leading to a cessation of methane production. Hydrogenotrophic methanogens exhibited high acid tolerance, and Methanospirillum could thrive despite a sudden low-pH shock. Although Methanolinea required a longer time to enrich, it played a substantial role in methane production under an acidic environment.

Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (co-AD) could be a more sustainable waste management solution by sharing the existed anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities and generating more biogas energy. In this study, a series of co-AD of different urban derived organic wastes (sewage sludge-SS, food waste-FW, yard waste-YW) were conducted in a semi-continuous mode, and the corresponding dynamic evolutions of microbial community structure were followed by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). As for co-AD of two feedstocks, introduction of SS (25%, VS basis) in FW significantly improved the process stability and archaea/total microbe ratio (from 0.4% to 17.1%), which might be due to the regulating effect of abundant trace metals in SS; co-AD of SS (25%, VS basis) with YW improved the methane yield by 2.04 times than AD of YW only together with higher methane contents (57.4 ± 1.3% vs. 50.9 ± 2.2%); in co-AD of FW and YW, synergistic effects in terms of increased methane production (3.4-19.1%) were observed, which was correlated with more robust growth of both bacteria and archaea. As for co-AD of three feedstocks, high methane yields of 314.9 ± 17.1 mL/g VS were achieved with a reliable stability. These findings could provide some fundamental and technical information for the co-treatment of urban derived organic wastes in centralized AD facilities.

Abstract
Various pretreatment methods, such as thermal, alkaline and acid, were applied on grass lawn (GL) waste and the effect of each pretreatment method on the Biochemical Methane Potential was evaluated for two options, namely using the whole slurry resulting from pretreatment or the separate solid and liquid fractions obtained. In addition, the effect of each pretreatment on carbohydrate solubilization and lignocellulossic content fractionation (to cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) was also evaluated. The experimental results showed that the methane yield was enhanced with alkaline pretreatment and, the higher the NaOH concentration (20 g/100 gTotal Solids (TS)), the higher was the methane yield observed (427.07 L CH4/kg Volatile Solids (VS), which was almost 25.7% higher than the BMP of the untreated GL). Comparing the BMP obtained under the two options, i.e., that of the whole pretreatment slurry with the sum of the BMPs of both fractions, it was found that direct anaerobic digestion without separation of the pretreated biomass was favored, in almost all cases. A preliminary energy balance and economic assessment indicated that the process could be sustainable, leading to a positive net heat energy only when using a more concentrated pretreated slurry (i.e., 20% organic loading), or when applying NaOH pretreatment at a lower chemical loading.

Abstract
To enhance the biodegradability and methane production of hybrid Pennisetum, a pretreatment method with high selectivity for lignin removal, namely sodium chlorite/acetic acid (SCA) pretreatment, was examined in this work. Results showed that SCA pretreatment can selectively remove lignin with minimal impact on cellulose and hemicellulose. After up to 200 min of SCA treatment, 79.4% of lignin was removed and over 90% of the holocellulose was retained. The physicochemical changes after pretreatment were analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, X-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, showing that the majority of lignin was removed from secondary cell walls and cell middle lamella while the chlorite-resistant lignin remained in the cell corner. Lignin removal significantly enhanced the biodegradability from 59.6% to 86.4% and increased methane production by 38.3%. Energy balance showed that SCA pretreatment was efficient to increase the energy output of hybrid Pennisetum.

Abstract
In this study, corn stalk (CS) was pretreated with furfural wastewater (FWW) for whole slurry anaerobic digestion (AD), which increased the degradability of CS components, changed the parameters in pretreatment slurry and improved the biochemical methane potential (BMP). The ultimate goal was to optimize the time and temperature for FWW pretreatment and evaluate whether FWW pretreatment is feasible from BMP and energy conversion. The results of path analysis suggested that lignocellulosic degradability (LD) was the main factor affecting methane production with the comprehensive decision of 0.7006. The highest BMP (166.34 mL/g VS) was achieved by the pretreatment at 35 °C for 6 days, which was 70.36% higher than that of control check (CK) (97.64 mL/g VS) and the optimal pretreatment condition was predicted at 40.69 °C for 6.49 days by response surface methodology (RSM). The net residual value (NRV) for the pretreatment of 35 °C and 6 days was the highest (0.6201), which was the most appropriate condition for AD in real application.

Abstract
The subcritical liquid hot water (SLHW) pretreatment could be strengthened by its byproduct-organic acids, such as acetic acid (AA), lactic acid (LA) and formic acid (FA). The effects of these three acids on the pretreatment were investigated by the yield of fermentable sugars. The results showed that the addition of acids could effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of hemicellulose to C5 sugars and contribute to the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. It was found that all three organic acids promote xylose production, and the copresence of AA + LA could limit the content of the fermentation inhibitor. The optimum proportion of three organic acids were 0.33 wt%AA + 0.45 wt%LA + 0.20 wt%FA, and the yield of C5 sugars after pretreatment and C6 sugar after enzymatic hydrolysis were 89.06% and 78.56%, respectively. The kinetic studies proved that byproduct-organic acids could promote xylose production and inhibit its further degradation and explained that xylose would accumulate at lower temperatures.

Abstract
Lignin is particularly recalcitrant for valorization via the existing pretreatment methods due to its complex cross-linking polymeric network. The aim of this study is to develop a novel integrated pretreatment strategy to exploit the potential of lignocellulosic biomass as resource for production of biofuels and aromatic chemicals. In this regard, a novel UV/TiO2/HCOOH reaction was proposed to systematically generate hydroxyl radical (OH) and carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2-) to depolymerize lignin. Usage of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran as a simple probe molecule showed cleavage β-O-4 linkage occurred via H abstraction mechanism. The addition of methyl viologen as CO2- scavengers proved the presence of CO2- in this UV/TiO2/HCOOH reaction. Lignin and wheat straw were used to investigate the effect of different parameters, including formic acid concentration and TiO2 dosage, on the efficiency of the reaction. At optimized conditions, the highest phenolic concentrations attained were 173.431 and 66.802 mg/g lignin and wheat straw, respectively. A cycle test was designed with the aim to favor the complete consumption of formic acid through more pretreatment cycles for producing the highest possible Total Phenolic Compounds (TPC) in the liquid phase. After the third consecutive cycle, 103.651 ± 5.964 mg-TPC/g, was obtained. Meanwhile it was found the remaining wheat straw solid fibers used for biogas production, showed 11.0% increase biogas production and increased degradation rate compared to the untreated wheat straw.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is recalcitrant due to its heterogeneous structure, which is one of the major limitations for its use as a feedstock for methane production. Although different pretreatment methods are being used, intermediaries formed are known to show adverse effect on microorganisms involved in methane formation. This review, apart from highlighting the efficiency and limitations of the different pretreatment methods from engineering, chemical, and biochemical point of views, will discuss the strategies to increase the carbon recovery in the form of methane by way of amending pretreatments to lower inhibitory effects on microbial groups and by optimizing process conditions.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that excellent anaerobic digestion performance could be achieved using acid pretreatment, whereas the development of acid pretreatment was limited by high cost of acid consumption and severe operation. The aim of this study consisted in expanding the possibilities of low-cost acid pretreatment method for anaerobic digestion. For this, the feasibility of substituting conventional acid pretreatment with furfural wastewater was verified, and the whole slurry anaerobic digestion was performed to improve the production of methane. The furfural wastewater was used to pretreat crop stalk at different ambient temperatures (20, 35, 50°C) for different time periods (0, 3, 6, 9days). Subsequently, all treated and untreated crop stalk were digested at 35°C for 25days. According to experimental data showed that the dissimilar degradability of compositions for crop stalk was due to furfural wastewater pretreatment, and the reducing sugar content, volatile fatty acid content, pH during pretreatment phase, and their initial maximum & minimum values in anaerobic digestion phase were changed, which made a significant difference in methane production. The highest total methane production of anaerobic digestion (196.68mL/g VS) was achieved by the treatment at 35°C for 6days, which was 59.28% higher than untreated crop stalk (123.48mL/g VS). On the whole, the results showed that furfural wastewater pretreatment followed by the whole slurry anaerobic co-digestion was feasible and could contribute to application value for anaerobic digestion industry while providing an effective way for the treatment of furfural wastewater.

Enhanced Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Pennisetum alopecuroides by Dilute Acid, Alkaline and Ferric Chloride Pretreatments. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24091715. [PMID: 31052602 PMCID: PMC6539215 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24091715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2019] [Revised: 04/27/2019] [Accepted: 04/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, effects of different pretreatment methods on the enzymatic digestibility of Pennisetum alopecuroides, a ubiquitous wild grass in China, were investigated to evaluate its potential as a feedstock for biofuel production. The stalk samples were separately pretreated with H2SO4, NaOH and FeCl3 solutions of different concentrations at 120 °C for 30 min, after which enzymatic hydrolysis was conducted to measure the digestibility of pretreated samples. Results demonstrated that different pretreatments were effective at removing hemicellulose, among which ferric chloride pretreatment (FCP) gave the highest soluble sugar recovery (200.2 mg/g raw stalk) from the pretreatment stage. In comparison with FCP and dilute acid pretreatment (DAP), dilute alkaline pretreatment (DALP) induced much higher delignification and stronger morphological changes of the biomass, making it more accessible to hydrolysis enzymes. As a result, DALP using 1.2% NaOH showed the highest total soluble sugar yield through the whole process from pretreatment to enzymatic hydrolysis (508.5 mg/g raw stalk). The present work indicates that DALP and FCP have the potential to enhance the effective bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass like P. alopecuroides, hence making this material a valuable and promising energy plant.

Abstract
In this work, potassium iodide (KI) and graphene oxide (GO) were utilized to promote the selectivity of photocatalytic process for alkali lignin oxidation over ZnO. Different concertation of GO was added during the microwave synthesis procedure of ZnO, and the characterization results revealed that graphene can shift the conduction band to more reducing potential, resulting to higher production of superoxide anion radicals (O2-) compared to OH. Response Surface Methodology revealed the most suitable interaction among loading of GO, KI and irradiation time on lignin and total phenolic compound (TPC) degradation. Specifically, the optimal conditions (i.e. maximum lignin (52%) and minimum TPC (55%) degradation) were at [KI] = 0.64 mM; GO content into ZnO 1.2 mg/mL; 240 min of irradiation time. The results showed that higher addition of graphene into structure of ZnO could preserve more phenolics from degradation due to less production of OH. Furthermore, the addition of KI at optimized conditions could enhance the selectivity of degradation of lignin and phenolics via producing I radicals and quenching the excess amount of generated OH, respectively. The lower generation of OH at optimized conditions was quantitatively confirmed by a photoluminescence simplified technique. In addition, the effect of the photocatalytic process on substrate's anaerobic degradability was examined in order to evaluate the suitability of the pretreated solution for energy recovery. Indeed, besides the higher TPC concentration, the biogas production of treated straw at optimized conditions was increased by 35% compared to the untreated sample.

Combining Autoclaving with Mild Alkaline Solution as a Pretreatment Technique to Enhance Glucose Recovery from the Invasive Weed Chloris barbata. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9040120. [PMID: 30925658 PMCID: PMC6523731 DOI: 10.3390/biom9040120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Revised: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 03/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Developing an optimum pretreatment condition to enhance glucose recovery assessed the potential of Chloris barbata, which is a common invasive weed in Thailand, as a feedstock for bioethanol production. Chloris barbata was exposed to autoclave-assisted alkaline pretreatment by using different sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations (1% to 4%) and heat intensities (110 °C to 130 °C) that were dissipated from autoclaving. The optimum condition for pretreatment was determined to be 2% NaOH at 110 °C for 60 min. At this condition, maximum hydrolysis efficiency (90.0%) and glucose recovery (30.7%), as compared to those of raw C. barbata (15.15% and 6.20%, respectively), were observed. Evaluation of glucose production from 1000 g of C. barbata based on material balance analysis revealed an estimated yield of 304 g after pretreatment at the optimum condition when compared to that of raw C. barbata (61 g), an increase of five-fold. Structural analysis by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the disruption of the intact structure of C. barbata and an increase in the cellulose crystallinity index (CrI), respectively. The results from this study demonstrate the efficiency of using C. barbata as a potential feedstock for bioethanol production.

Abstract
Ultrasound-calcium hydroxide (US-Ca(OH)2) pretreatment effectively enhanced volatile fatty acid (VFA) production from lignocellulosic biomass. In this paper, solid and liquid fraction of pretreated grass clipping was for the first time separately fermented in order to improve organic recovery from liquid fraction and reduce inhibition due to alkaline pretreatment. The total VFA yield and VS removal reached 515 mg/g TS and 59.7% after solid-liquid separation, exhibiting an increase of 116.7% and 91.9% comparing to that of mixture sample. The dominate components of VFAs are acetic and propionate acid, accounting for 80-90% of total VFAs. Kinetic analysis showed that the highest maximum VFA production rate of 690 mg/L·d and the highest cumulative VFA production potential of 3299 mg/L were achieved in the fermentation of solid fraction. Microbial analysis showed that the dominate genera for VFA production were Halocella and Ruminiclostridium, both with a relative abundance of 20.1% in fermentation of solid fraction.

Abstract
Biomass pretreatment can improve the conversion efficiency of bioenergy production. Liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment is a truly green pretreatment due to its zero chemical use, but has the disadvantages of low lignin removal and pseudo-lignin formation. A modified liquid hot water (MLHW) process based on in situ synthesis of deep eutectic solvent (DES) could efficiently improve delignification of Roystonea regia leaves (LR) and leaf sheaths (LSR). LSR was less recalcitrant than LR, and its characteristics of higher porosity (34.8%) and thinner cell walls (5.2 μm) for LSR contributed it higher lignin removal (53.6%) and lower choline chloride (ChCl) consumption (H2O-ChCl mass ratio of 2:1) than those (44.6% and 1:2) from LR. Moreover, a great improvement of 309.0% in bio-methane yield was achieved for the MLHW-treated LSR. In addition, in situ DES in MLHW had good biocompatibility with cellulase, microalgae, and yeast.

Abstract
In this study fungal pretreatment of non-sterile tall wheat grass via the white rot fungi Flammulina velutipes was studied and the effect on biodegradability of lignocellulosic biomass and methane production, was evaluated. Degradation of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and dry matter in non-sterile tall wheat grass during 28 days of fungal pretreatment using different inoculum ratio (0%-50%) and moisture content (MC) (45% MC, 65% MC, and 75% MC) were assessed via comparison to untreated biomass. Pretreatment with F. velutipes was most effective at 65% MC and 40% inoculum ratio, resulting in 22% lignin removal. The corresponding methane yields were 181.3 Ndm3·kg VS-1, which were 280% higher than for the untreated tall wheat grass.
