Loblolly pine residues have enormous potential to be the raw material for advanced biofuel production due to extensive sources and high cellulose content. Hot water (HW) pretreatment, while being a relatively economical and clean technology for the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass, could also inhibit the ensuing enzymatic hydrolysis process because of the production of inhibitors. In this study, we investigated the effect of oligosaccharide fractions purified from HW pre-hydrolyzate of pinewood using centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) on three recombinant cellulolytic enzymes (E1, CBHI and CBHII), which were expressed in the transgenic corn grain system. The efficiency of recombinant enzymes was measured using either a 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-cellobioside (MUC) or a cellulose-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) assay system. The results showed that HW pre-hydrolyzate CPC fractions contain phenolics, furans, and monomeric and oligomeric sugars. Among CPC fractions, oligomers composed of xylan, galactan, and mannan were inhibitory to the three recombinant enzymes and to the commercial cellulase cocktail, reducing the enzymatic efficiency to as low as 10%.

The Kuril Islands are located in the Far-East of Russia and enriched with shallow and terrestrial hot springs. Prokaryotic diversity of Kuril geothermal environments has been studied fragmentarily and mainly by culture-dependent methods. We performed the first large-scale investigation of microbial communities, inhabited more than 30 terrestrial hot springs of Kunashir and Iturup Islands, analyzed by 16S rRNA gene fragment amplicon sequencing, together with chemical analysis of thermal waters and sediments.

The manufacturing of soy-based adhesives with high bonding strength, excellent water resistance, and exceptional environmental performance still faces difficulties. In this work, using glyoxal-urea (GU) resin, chitosan (CS), and soy protein isolate (SPI) as the primary raw materials in order to effectively mitigate the release of free formaldehyde commonly found in traditional wood-based panels. Obtaining an adhesive with high strength, excellent water resistance, and a stable cross-linking structure of GU/CS/SPI (CS represents different mass fractions of chitosan solution).

At-risk conifer stands growing in hot, arid conditions at low elevations may contain the most climate change-adapted seeds needed for sustainable forestry. This study used a triage framework to identify high-priority survey areas for Pinus ponderosa (Pipo) within a large region, by intersecting an updated range map with a map of seed zones and elevation bands (SZEBs). The framework assesses place-based climate change and potential wildfire risks by rank-order across 740 potential collection units.

Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP), closely related to the carbon cycle due to their high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, have become a hot research topic. However, despite the growing interest in this field, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis providing a clear developmental background and quantitative research on the overall trends of TEP studies. To address the gap, this article utilizes VOSviewer and CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of TEP research.
