Screening of Fusarium moniliforme as Potential Fungus for Integrated Biodelignification and Consolidated Bioprocessing of Napier Grass for Bioethanol Production

A fungus capable of producing ethanol from various carbon substrates was screened for direct production lignocellulose. Fusarium moniliforme BIOTECH 3170 produced glucose, xylose, and cellobiose after three days with theoretical yields 86.4%, 68.6%, 45.4%, respectively. The coculture glucose xylose progressed sequentially at 79.2% the yield, both sugars completely consumed in five days. solid-state consolidated bioprocessing cellulose 25.2 g/L 20 After 28 integrated biodelignification Napier grass conditions, up to 10.5 produced, corresponding an yield 0.032 g/g biomass. Given a sufficient source, could produce 42.06 ethanol. F. demonstrated characteristics potential cellulose, mixed sugars, lignocellulosic materials.
