Isolation and Identification of Cellulase Producing and Sugar Fermenting Bacteria for Second-Generation Bioethanol Production by Weerasinghe Mudiyanselage Lakshika Iroshani Weerasinghe, Dampe Acharige Tharindu Madusanka, Pathmalal Marakkale Manage

“…The bacterial pathway for bioethanol production is a relatively novel concept and the present study focused on the isolation of potential “cellulase-producing” bacteria from cow dung, compost soil, and termite gut and isolating sugar fermenting bacteria from palm wine. To select potential candidates for cellulase enzyme production, primary and secondary assays were conducted using the Gram’s iodine stain in Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) medium and the Dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) assays, respectively. …”

The Biocontrol Potential of Endophytic <i>Trichoderma</i> Fungi Isolated from Hungarian Grapevines, Part II, Grapevine Stimulation by András Csótó, Csilla Kovács, Károly Pál, Antal Nagy, Ferenc Peles, Erzsébet Fekete, Levente Karaffa, Christian P. Kubicek, Erzsébet Sándor

“…In addition, the grape must parameters such as the Brix degrees, as well as the extract, the D-glucose and the D-fructose concentrations all appeared to be improved, suggesting a potentially higher ethanol content of the produced wine. We conclude that grapevine-endophytic <i>Trichoderma</i> isolates promote plant growth, which could be a useful feature for sustainable agriculture in general and integrated plant production in particular.…”
