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

backgroundPretreated lignocellulosic biomass is considered as a suitable feedstock for the sustainable production of chemicals. However, the recalcitrant nature of cellulose often results in very cost-intensive overall production processes. A promising concept to reduce the costs is consolidated bioprocessing, which integrates in a single step cellulase production, cellulose hydrolysis, and fermentative conversion of produced sugars into a valuable product. This approach, however, requires assessing the digestibility of the applied celluloses and, thus, the released sugar amount during the fermentation. Since the released sugars are completely taken up by Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 and the sugar consumption is stoichiometrically coupled to oxygen uptake, the respiration activity was measured to evaluate the digestibility of cellulose.

resultsThe method was successfully tested on commercial cellulosic substrates identifying a correlation between the respiration activity and the crystallinity of the substrate. Pulse experiments with cellulose and cellulases suggested that the respiration activity of T. reesei on cellulose can be divided into two distinct phases, one limited by enzyme activity and one by cellulose-binding-sites. The impact of known (cellobiose, sophorose, urea, tween 80, peptone) and new (miscanthus steepwater) compounds enhancing cellulase production was evaluated. Furthermore, the influence of two different pretreatment methods, the OrganoCat and OrganoSolv process, on the digestibility of beech wood saw dust was tested.

conclusionsThe introduced method allows an online evaluation of cellulose digestibility in complex and non-complex cultivation media. As the measurements are performed under fermentation conditions, it is a valuable tool to test different types of cellulose for consolidated bioprocessing applications. Furthermore, the method can be applied to identify new compounds, which influence cellulase production.
