A Rapid Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) Technique to Determine Ethanol Yields
TL;DR: In this article, a relatively simple simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) technique was developed to determine the ethanol production potential for large sets of biomass samples, based on soaking approximately 0.5 grams of a biomass sample in aqueous ammonia at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure for 24 hours, then fermenting with Saccharomyces cerevisiae D5A for 24 h using Spezyme CP, for enzymatic hydrolysis of structural polysaccharides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of biofuel feedstock production on hydrology and water quality is quantified using mathematical models, which can be used to efficiently evaluate various "what if" scenarios.

TL;DR: Ozone is capable of penetrating the surface of maize kernels to reduce fungal infections during storage and is likely most effective in controlling the activity of Aspergillus and Fusarium due to their relatively high occurrence of infection on non-ozone treated maize and the observed reduction in their presence at lower ozone treatment concentrations.

Comparison of common lignin methods and modifications on forage and lignocellulosic biomass materials.
TL;DR: There were several methods that were well suited for predicting the digestible portion of forage materials, with the acid detergent lignin and Klason lign in method giving the highest correlation across the three types of forages.

Effect of magnetic field on the fermentation kinetics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: It was found that homogeneous magnetic fields have no significant effect on the yeast cell growth, while non-homogeneous static magnetic fields produced an increase in peak ethanol concentration with 2% dextrose loading.
