Yunje Kim
Korea Institute of Science and Technology
Yunje Kim's research contributions span multiple fields, including biotechnology, environmental science, and energy. Their work has focused on developing novel biocatalysts and processes to improve the efficiency of lignin utilization, saccharification, and biofuel production from plant biomass. Research findings have demonstrated the potential of manganese peroxidase and tyrosinase in cellulolytic activity and lignin degradation, as well as the role of supercritical ethanol in macroalgae liquefaction and bio-oil production. Additionally, engineered cyanobacteria have been shown to convert CO2 into valuable phytochemicals, while microorganisms like Clostridium species have been used for in situ detoxification of lignocellulosic hydrolysates and butyric acid production. These findings hold significant implications for the development of sustainable bioproducts and renewable energy sources.
