A system for sensing the presence and concentration of ethylene in a gas stream includes an ethylene sensor, an ethylene scrubber, a COscrubber, gas flow control valves, a pump, and electrical components to receive and analyze the electrical signals generated by the ethylene sensor as the ethylene concentration in the gas stream changes. The system, in a controlled manner, alternatively feeds quantities of the gas stream being analyzed to the ethylene sensor or through scrubber components of the system. The ethylene sensor comprises conductive polymeric nanofibers functionalized to detect the presence of ethylene and generate an electrical signal that changes as the ethylene concentration changes.

Compositions comprising glycosyl hydrolase enzymes are provided, as are methods for their use to depolymerize hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin and pectin in biomass in order to produce products such as simple sugars. The enzymes, isolated fromand, were characterized, and synergistic mixtures of the enzymes were produced and used to generate simple sugars from biomass without the need to pretreat the biomass before digestion. The enzyme blends generally comprise two or more enzymes, which may be from the same fungus or from two different fungi, and are used for efficient and cost effective complete degradation of lignocelluloses. Applications of this technology include biofuel production.
