The role of endocellulases and endoxylanase during liquefaction and saccharification of hydrothermally pretreated wheat straw was studied. The use of a flow-loop setup with in-line magnetic resonance imaging enabled frequent measurements of viscosity at 55°C during saccharification at 6% total solids content. Viscosity data were complemented with off-line measurements of fiber lengths and release of soluble sugars. A clear correlation between fiber attrition and a decrease in viscosity was found. Fiber lengths and viscosity dropped quickly within the first hour and then stagnated, while sugar yields increased substantially thereafter, illustrating that liquefaction and saccharification are separate mechanisms. Both endoglucanase and endoxylanase were shown to have a significant effect on viscosity during liquefaction while the addition of endoxylanase also increased sugar yield.

Article Synopsis
- Short-chain xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), specifically xylobiose (X2) and xylotriose (X3), have higher biological activities and are desirable to produce in larger quantities.
- The research employed pH-controlled lactic acid hydrolysis and xylanase treatment on xylan extracted from moso bamboo, achieving a notable increase in XOS yield from 33.1% to 64.1%, with X2 and X3 forming 91.0% of the final product.
- Additionally, deep eutectic solvent pretreatment efficiently removed 87.2% of lignin, leading to a high glucose yield of 96.9% from the residual biomass after
Effect of enzyme preparation and extrusion puffing treatment on sorghum straw silage fermentation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how enzyme treatments (cellulase and xylanase) and extrusion technology affect sorghum straw's silage performance and microbial community.
- The use of xylanase notably improved the straw's nutritional quality and fermentation efficiency, enhancing overall silage effectiveness.
- Additionally, extrusion altered the straw's surface structure, increasing its porosity and promoting microorganism attachment, contributing to better resource use in animal husbandry and agricultural waste management.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the fungus Thermothielavioides terrestris LPH172 interacts with different types of steam-pretreated spruce materials and untreated biomass, exploring how these substrates influence the production of enzymes in the fungus.
- Results show that the type of spruce material affects the expression of specific enzymes, with higher levels of mannanases produced when grown on certain pretreated materials compared to untreated biomass.
- Supplementing standard commercial enzyme mixtures with the secretome from T. terrestris significantly enhanced the efficiency of mannose release from treated spruce, indicating its potential to improve biorefinery processes.
