Wheat straw degradation by Fibrobacter succinogenes was monitored by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and chemolytic methods to investigate the activity of an entire fibrolytic system on an intact complex substrate. In situ solid-state NMR with 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning was used to monitor the modification of the composition and structure of lignocellulosic fibers...

An effective method for the isolation of nucleoli from auxin-treated soybean (Glycine max, var. Wayne) hypocotyl was developed by polytron homogenization and sucrose gradient centrifugation. The nucleoli expressed only the alpha-amanitin-insensitive RNA synthetic activity. This activity chromatographed as RNA polymerase I on DEAE-cellulose. It appears that the plant nucleolus, like the animal n...

Corncob is one of the industrial waste has cellulose content of 39.1 wt%, which makes it has high potential to be a raw material in the production of cellulose nanocrystal. Corncob was delignificated with 3.5 wt% HNO3 and NaNO2 10 mg, precipitated process with 17.5 wt% NaOH, and bleached with 10 wt% H2O2. Cellulose nanocrystal was obtained by hydrolysis using 45 wt% H2SO4. Corncob and cellulose...

Abstract MCC was synthesized from alpha-cellulose microwave pretreated OPEFB. This study aims to determine the effect of pre-treatment on changes in cellulose and lignin content OPEFB fibers synthesize with microwaves. The method used this research is exploration 4 hydrolysis time treatments (10, 20, 30 40 minutes) 3 replications. data analysis technique descriptive statistical analysis. From r...
