Direct determination of cellulosic glucan content in starch-containing samples Open
A simple and highly selective analytical procedure is presented for the determination of cellulosic glucan content in samples that contain both cellulose and starch. This method eliminates the unacceptably large compounding errors of curre…

Co-Compartmentation of Terpene Biosynthesis and Storage <i>via</i> Synthetic Droplet Open
Traditional bioproduct engineering focuses on pathway optimization, yet is often complicated by product inhibition, downstream consumption, and the toxicity of certain products. Here, we present the co-compartmentation of biosynthesis and …

Do grain boundaries dominate non-radiative recombination in CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub>perovskite thin films? Open
We examine grain boundaries (GBs) with respect to non-GB regions in high-quality perovskite films using fluorescence-lifetime imaging. We show that recombination happens in the non-GB regions and that GBs are not transparent to photogenera…

Burkholderia phytofirmans Inoculation-Induced Changes on the Shoot Cell Anatomy and Iron Accumulation Reveal Novel Components of Arabidopsis-Endophyte Interaction that Can Benefit Downstream Biomass Deconstruction Open
It is known that plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) elicit positive effects on plant growth and biomass yield. However, the actual mechanism behind the plant-PGPB interaction is poorly understood, and the literature is scarce regarding…

Micro-spectroscopic imaging of lignin-carbohydrate complexes in plant cell walls and their migration during biomass pretreatment Open
In lignocellulosic biomass, lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer. In plant cell walls, lignin is associated with polysaccharides to form lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCC). LCC have been considered to be a major factor that negat…
