Effect of Switchgrass Maturity on Ethanol Production via Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)Switchgrass has been selected as a substrate to produce ethanol. One method of producing ethanol from switchgrass is through pretreatment followed by saccharification and fermentation. The harvest date of switchgrass could ... -
Effect of the Reducing Agent Dithiothreitol on Ethanol and Acetic Acid Production by Clostridium Strain P11
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) on enhancing ethanol production from synthesis gas (syngas) using Clostridium strain P11 in 250-mL serum bottles. ... -
Ethanol Production from Syngas by Clostridium Strain P11 Using Corn Steep Liquor as a Nutrient Replacement
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)The objective of this research is to evaluate corn steep liquor (CSL) as an inexpensive nutrient and substitute to yeast extract (YE) used in the conversion of synthesis gas (syngas) to ethanol. Syngas is primarily a mixture ... -
Evaluation of best parameters in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process for maximum ethanol yield by K. marxianus IMB3
(2011-12)Scope and Method of Study: -
Farm Ethanol Dewatering: Detailed Design Of Distillation Unit
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-12-01)Sweet sorghum offers a range of advantages due to its low water input, high carbohydrate yield and drought tolerant characteristics. The team at the School of Bio-systems & Agricultural Engineering at Oklahoma State ... -
High-temperature enzymatic breakdown of cellulose
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-08)Cellulose is an abundant and renewable biopolymer that can be used for biofuel generation; however, structural entrapment with other cell wall components hinders enzyme-substrate interactions, a key bottleneck for ethanol ... -
Multi-insect visual tracking and system identification techniques for inflight feedback interaction analysis
(2021-07)Individual insects flying in crowded assemblies perform complex aerial maneuvers by small changes in their wing motions. To understand the individual feedback rules that permit these fast, adaptive behaviors in group flight, ... -
Murine ethanol ingestion promotes hepatic platelet accumulation mimicking acute Ccl₄ exposure
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2023-02-17)Background: Dysregulated coagulation contributes to inflammation and fibrosis from chemical injury. Platelets are key contributors to inflammation and are primary sources of TGF-b, PDGF, and EGF that promote fibrosis, and ... -
Parameterization and Application of the Aquacrop Model for Simulating Bioenergy Crops in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)The objective of this study was to parameterize the AquaCrop model for two bioenergy crops, switchgrass and forage sorghum, using field measurements from Stillwater, Oklahoma in 2011. The parameterized model was then ... -
Process Design and Economic Evaluation of an Ethanol Production Process by Biomass Gasification
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)A large number of studies are being conducted on finding eco-friendly substitutes for petroleum-based fuels. Utilizing biomass as an energy source can significantly reduce dependency on petroleum, and the emission of ... -
