The current research work of our group is focused on the development of a thematic project supported by FAPESP entitled “Recalcitrance of sugarcane biomass: Fundamentals related to cell wall formation, pre-treatment and enzymatic digestion, applied in the development of new models of biorefineries “.
The project aims to generate integrated knowledge about the origins of recalcitrance of sugarcane biomass and, based on this knowledge, to design innovative processes of biomass conversion within the contemporary concept of biorefineries.
Topics of current interest (2016-2020) for dissertation and thesis projects include:
– Study of the formation of secondary cell walls in sugarcane as a function of the stage of maturation of the plants;
– Application of UV microscopy to evaluate the lignification process and fluorescence microscopy to evaluate the deposition of hemicellulose.
– Evaluation of the sucrose accumulation and the direct digestibility of sugarcane biomass by commercial enzymes.
– Design of bioprocesses for the conversion of sugarcane biomass into products of technological interest within the contemporary context of biorefineries.
– Search for new hydrolytic enzymes from the study of the secretomics of wood-degrading basidiomycetes, aiming the development of specific enzymatic mixtures for each type of lignocellulosic material.
