Trends in biotechnological production of fuel ethanol from different feedstocks.
Present work deals with the biotechnological production of fuel ethanol from different raw materials. The different technologies for producing fuel ethanol from sucrose-containing feedstocks (mainly sugar cane), starchy materials and lignocellulosic biomass are described along with the major research trends for improving them. The complexity of the biomass processing is recognized through the a...
متن کاملEthanol from lignocellulosic biomass: a comparison between conversion technologies
The conversion of biomass into biofuels can increase fuel flexibility and reduce the related strategic vulnerability of petroleum based transportation fuel systems. Bioethanol has received considerable attention over the last years as a fuel extender or even neat liquid fuel. Lignocellulosic materials are very attractive substrates for the production of bioethanol because of their low cost and ...
متن کاملGenetic engineering for improved xylose fermentation by yeasts.
Xylose utilization is essential for the efficient conversion of lignocellulosic materials to fuels and chemicals. A few yeasts are known to ferment xylose directly to ethanol. However, the rates and yields need to be improved for commercialization. Xylose utilization is repressed by glucose which is usually present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates, so glucose regulation should be altered in orde...
متن کاملBiotechnological Transformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass in to Industrial Products: An Overview
Lignocellulose—a major component of biomass available on earth is a renewable and abundantly available with great potential for bioconversion to value-added bio-products. The review aims at physio-chemical features of lignocellulosic biomass and composition of different lignocellulosic materials. This work is an overview about the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into bio-energy products s...
متن کاملBiotechnology for Production of Fuels, Chemicals, and Materials from Biomass
Biological systems can convert renewable resources, including lignocellulosic biomass, starch crops, and carbon dioxide, into fuels, chemicals, and materials. Ethanol and other products are now derived from starch crops, such as corn. Enzyme-based technology is under development for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., wood, grasses, and agricultural and municipal wastes) into fuel etha...
