Life without putrescine: disruption of the gene-encoding polyamine oxidase in Ustilago maydis odc mutants.

abstract：:Lignocellulosic plant biomass is the target feedstock for production of second-generation biofuels. Ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment can enhance deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass into sugars that can be fermented to ethanol. Although biomass is typically washed following IL pretreatment, small quantities of resi...
