Metabolism: Biofuel via biodetoxification Nature Chemical Biology 6, 316 (2010). doi:10.1038/nchembio.355 Authors: Hongwei Dong & Jie Bao The buildup of toxic intermediates during lignocellulose pretreatment limits the utility of this abundant biomass for biofuel production. A recent study on the degradation pathways of two of the most hazardous toxins, furfural and HMF, now paves the way for mechanism-based enhancements of biodetoxification efficiency. |
