In situ saccharification of lignocellulose is essential for efficiently converting biomass into value-added products. In this study, nickel foam underwent electrochemical pore size regulation and polydopamine modification to produce polydopamine-modified foam nickel with aperture control (PNiF-AC), which was used for cellulase immobilization and in situ saccharification of wheat straw. PNiF-AC demonstrated excellent hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and robust adsorption-desorption cycling properties. Immobilizing cellulase onto PNiF-AC significantly improved its thermal stability by 64.8 %. The immobilized cellulase yielded 17.0 mg/mL of reducing sugars during the in situ saccharification of wheat straw, representing a 20 % increase over free cellulase. Moreover, after eight cycles of magnetic stirring, the reducing sugar yield decreased by only 19.4 %, highlighting the remarkable reusability and stability of the immobilized cellulase. These findings establish polydopamine-modified foam nickel as an efficient platform for cellulase immobilization, presenting a novel approach to improving lignocellulose conversion processes.

The lignocellulose bioconversion process is an eco-friendly and green-economy alternative technology that allows the reduction of pollution and global warming, so it is necessary for thermophilic and thermostable hydrolytic enzymes from natural sources. This research aimed to isolate cellulolytic and xylanolytic microbial consortia from Huancarhuaz hot spring (Peru) from sludge or in situ baiting cultured with or without sugarcane bagasse. According to the hydrolytic activities consortium T4 from in situ baiting was selected.

Background: The polysaccharides in lignocellulosic biomass hold potential for production of biofuels and biochemicals. However, achieving efficient conversion of this resource into fermentable sugars faces challenges, especially when operating at industrially relevant high solid loadings. While it is clear that combining classical hydrolytic enzymes and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) is necessary to achieve high saccharification yields, exactly how these enzymes synergize at high solid loadings remains unclear.

The importance of reducing the strong dependence of the chemical industry on fossil feedstock is no longer a debate. Above-the-ground carbon is abundant, but scalable technologies to supply alternatives to fossil-fuel-derived chemicals and/or materials at the world scale are still not available. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most available carbon source, and a first requirement for its valorization is the complete saccharification of its sugar-bearing components.
