Increasing ethanol tolerance through the heterologous expression of the geobacillus thermoglucosiadius heat-shock proteins (GroEL/GroES) in an escherichia coli host
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Due to economic and environmental concerns associated with use of fossil fuels, humanity is seeking alternative fuels. Ethanol is one of the alternative fuels produced commercially. Current ethanol production technologies ...
Comparative analysis of sorghum and other South African grains for sustainable bioethanol production
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The depletion of oil reserves and the constant discharge of greenhouse gasses (GHG) that are associated with global warming have forced both political and scientific sectors to pursue alternative, renewable and sustainable ...
Functional characterisation of a thermophilic cellulase from a Malawian metagenomic library
(2013)
Biofuels are currently recognised as the most viable source of energy to replace
depleting fossil fuel reserves, with bioethanol the most popular alternative alcohol fuel.
Producing bioethanol from agricultural waste ...
Identification and characterisation of hemicellulases from thermophilic Actinomycetes
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
To ensure the sustainability of bioethanol production, major attention has been directed to develop feedstocks which provide an alternative to food-crop biomass. Lignocellulosic (LC) biomass, which is chiefly composed of ...
Using CRISPR/Cas9 to construct consolidated bioprocessing strains from natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has gained much attention as a host for cellulosic bioethanol production using consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) methodologies, due to its high ethanol producing titres, heterologous protein producing ...
