Enzyme hydrolysis of plasma proteins in a CSTR ultrafiltration reactor: Performances and modeling.

abstract：:Hydroxycinnamic acids are known to inhibit microbial growth during fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates, and the ability to diminish hydroxycinnamic acid toxicity would allow for more effective biological conversion of biomass to fuels and other value-added products. In this work, we provide a proof-of...
