Variation in the energy density of forage fishes and invertebrates from the southeastern Bering Sea

Creator:

Whitman, Luke D.

Abstract:

The quality and availability of forage fishes and invertebrates can affect the behavior and productivity of predators that rely on these resources. This study measures the proximate composition of forage fishes and invertebrates from the southeastern Bering Sea to estimate prey energy density (quality) using a method that is ecologically...

Hemicellulose utilization by yeast for ethanol production- adaptation, effect of inhibitors and a flux balance based analysis

Creator:

Avanasi Narasimhan, Ragothaman

Abstract:

A major challenge in ethanol production using lignocellulosic feed stock is inefficient utilization of hemicellulose, which accounts for 30-40% of lignocellulosic biomass. Xylose, comprising >60% of recoverable sugars from hemicellulose is a major product of the hemicellulose hydrolysis. Utilization of this carbon source would significantly increase the ethanol yield from...
