1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Yeast to directly convert cellulose and, especially, the microcrystalline cellulose into bioethanol, was engineered through display of minicellulosomes on the cell surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The construction and cell surface attachment of cellulosomes were accomplished with two individual miniscaffoldins to increase the display level. All of the cellulases including a celCCA (endoglucanase), a celCCE (cellobiohydrolase), and a Ccel_2454 (β-glucosidase) were cloned from Clostridium cellulolyticum, ensuring the thermal compatibility between cellulose hydrolysis and yeast fermentation. Cellulases and one of miniscaffoldins were secreted by α-factor; thus, the assembly and attachment to anchoring miniscaffoldin were accomplished extracellularly. Immunofluorescence microscopy, flow cytometric analysis (FACS), and cellulosic ethanol fermentation confirmed the successful display of such complex on the yeast surface. Enzyme-enzyme synergy, enzyme-proximity synergy, and cellulose-enzyme-cell synergy were analyzed, and the length of anchoring miniscaffoldin was optimized. The engineered S. cerevisiae was applied in fermentation of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose (PASC), or Avicel. It showed a significant hydrolytic activity toward microcrystalline cellulose, with an ethanol titer of 1,412 mg/L. This indicates that simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of crystalline cellulose to ethanol can be accomplished by the yeast, engineered with minicellulosome.
