The carbohydrate composition of lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates is highly complex. High performance anion exchange chromatography coupled with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD), a widely used method for carbohydrate analysis, provides limited chemical information on the detected peaks. To improve the detection and increase the chemical information of the carbohydrates, HPAEC was coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Using a pooled hydrolysate sample, it was shown that HPAEC-MS can separate and detect many oligosaccharides in one experimental run based on retention time and mass. The method was validated on its linearity, reproducibility and response factors. The analysis of a group of different biomass hydrolysates revealed that remaining disaccharides was the bottleneck of the hydrolysis process. As an analytical tool, HPAEC-MS provides information for the improvement of hydrolysate pretreatment method and enzyme cocktail quality. Besides, the consumption ability of microbial host strains for various mono- and oligosaccharides in hydrolysates can be assessed.

Abundant biomass, including industrial waste streams and second-generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) feedstocks, offers significant potential for sustainable bioconversion, nevertheless challenges such as fermentation inhibitors, CO losses and substrate selectivity of traditional microbial hosts hinder process efficiency. In this study, we address these challenges by exploring acetogenic bacteria as alternative microbial hosts. Using a newly established high-throughput method, acetogens were evaluated for their capacity to hydrolyse and metabolise variety of substrates derived from 2G and 3G feedstocks and industrial waste streams.

Undecylprodigiosin (UDP), a desirable pyrrole-based biomaterial, holds significant promise in pharmaceutical and medical applications due to its diverse biological activities. However, its application is usually hampered by low synthesis efficiency and high production costs. Here, we developed a high-efficiency and cost-effective strategy for UDP synthesis using collagen hydrolysate (COH) as a readily available and abundant precursor source in conjunction with sp.

Introduction: Considering that plant biostimulants can be sprayed multiple times on leafy crops even just before harvest, it is relevant to know the impact of biostimulant applications on population dynamics of lettuce leaves to ensure food safety. Two trials were carried out to investigate whether the applications of a seaweed extract and a vegetal-derived protein hydrolysate (PH) could affect the growth in shake flasks (Exp. 1) and plant growth and survival of artificially inoculated on the leaf surface of lettuce grown in a floating system (Exp.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is expected to play a critical role in achieving the goal of biomass-to-bioenergy conversion because of its wide distribution and low price. Biomass fermentation is a promising method for the sustainable generation of biohydrogen (bioH) from the renewable feedstock. Due to the inherent resistant structure of biomass, LCB needs to be pretreated to improve its digestibility and utilization.
