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 peroxide solution under different temperatures over a predetermined time. It ...

Deep subsurface oil reservoirs 100's of meters below Earth's surface exhibit extreme environmental conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high salinity. Still, these oil reservoirs are inhabited by a wide variety of microbial life.Microorganisms in oil reservoirs comprise relatively...
