Article Abstract
With the increasing concerns regarding climate, energy, and plastic crises, bio-based production of biodegradable polymers has become a dire necessity. Significant progress has been made in biotechnology for the production of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources to achieve the goal of zero plastic waste and a net-zero carbon bioeconomy. In this review, an overview of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) was presented. Having established LCB-based biorefinery with proper pretreatment techniques, various PHAs could be produced from LCB-derived sugars, hydrolysates, and/or aromatic mixtures employing microorganisms. This provides a clue for addressing the current environmental crises because "biodegradable polymers" could be produced from one of the most abundant resources that are renewable and sustainable in a "carbon-neutral process". Furthermore, the potential future of LCB-to-non-natural PHA production was discussed with particular reference to non-natural PHA biosynthesis methods and LCB-derived aromatic mixture biofunnelling systems.

The concept of the circular bioeconomy is a carbon neutral, sustainable system with zero waste. One vision for such an economy is based upon lignocellulosic biomass. This lignocellulosic circular bioeconomy requires CO absorption from biomass growth and the efficient deconstruction of recalcitrant biomass into solubilized and fractionated biopolymers which are then used as precursors for the sustainable production of high-quality liquid fuels, chemical bioproducts and bio-based materials.

Cotton stalk (CTS) and corn stover (CRS) were pretreated using solid alkali (NaOH or Ca(OH)) assisted ball milling (BM). The physicochemical properties of the pretreated materials and their high-solid enzymatic hydrolysis performance were systematically investigated. The interaction between alkali and straw was synergistically enhanced by mechanical force generated during BM, achieving effective lignin removal.

Environmental pollution from toxic metals and waste generation have become major global concerns, driven by industrial and agricultural growth. To produce the adsorbent, the fungus Aspergillus niger ATCC 1004 was inoculated into cocoa pod husk bran. The samples were labeled as fermented solid (FS) and non-fermented solid (NFS) and characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, point of zero charge, and surface area analysis via N₂adsorption using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method.

Lignocellulosic materials derived from by-products such as cellulose typically provide enhanced interfacial properties when functionalized with coupling agents, such as maleic anhydride (MA), and incorporated into polylactic acid (PLA) polymers. This research aims to identify the optimal conditions for either improving or maintaining PLA properties evaluating interactions by incorporating varying amounts of cellulose (5-28 wt%) extracted from sawdust biomass and PLA-g-MA (3-20 wt%) composites into pure PLA. This is accomplished through an extreme vertices mixture design (EVMD).

The model wood-decaying basidiomycete has been extensively studied to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of wood decomposition. However, genetic studies have been limited by the lack of adequate genetic tools. Here, we established an antimetabolite-based transformation system, originally developed for ascomycetes, for use in .
