• Studies on delignification and inhibitory enzyme kinetics of alkaline peroxide pre-treated pine and deodar saw dust 

      Baksi, Sibashish; Sarkar, Ujjaini; Saha, Sudeshna; Ball, Akash K.; Kuniyal, Jagdish Chandra; Wentzel, Alexander; Birgen, Cansu; Preisig, Heinz A.; Wittgens, Bernd; Markussen, Sidsel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Delignification of lignocellulosic biomass by alkaline peroxide pre-treatment is a preliminary important step for an overall biomass fractionation process. In the present work, saw dusts are pre-treated by aqueous alkaline ...
    • A unified and simple medium for growing model methanogens 

      Ngoumelah, Daniel Dzofou; Harnisch, Falk; Sulheim, Snorre; Heggeset, Tonje Marita Bjerkan; Aune, Ingvild Haugnes; Wentzel, Alexander; Kretzschmar, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Apart from their archetypic use in anaerobic digestion (AD) methanogenic archaea are targeted for a wide range of applications. Using different methanogenic archaea for one specific application requires the optimization ...
    • Unraveling the roles of the reductant and free copper ions in LPMO kinetics 

      Stepnov, Anton; Forsberg, Zarah; Sørlie, Morten; Nguyen, Giang-Son; Wentzel, Alexander; Kjendseth, Åsmund Røhr; Eijsink, Vincent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are monocopper enzymes that catalyze oxidative depolymerization of industrially relevant crystalline polysaccharides, such as cellulose, in a reaction that depends ...
