Biomass Valorization: Sustainable Methods for the Production of Hemicellulolytic Catalysts from <i>Thermoanaerobacterium thermostercoris</i> strain BUFF

Processing and selection of fruits and vegetables generate high quantities of wastes that represent an economic and environmental issue for the agroindustry sector. According to the so-called “biorefinery” approach, this biomass can be exploited for the recovery of value-added molecules. In this stu...
