The lignocellulosic biomass (especially agricultural wastes) is known to be an excellent carbon source for microbial enzyme production. In this paper, the cellulase production from lignocellulosic materials under solid state fermentation (SSF) was investigated. The effects of fermentation conditions, such as moisture content, initial pH, temperature, and composition of mixed substrate (wheat st...

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 ...

Fuel ethanol production from plant biomass hydrolysates by the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is of great economic and environmental significance. Costeffective production of ethanol from plant biomass should not only be based on the readily fermentable starch and sucrose fractions of plant carbohydrates, but also on the much more resistant lignocellulosic fractions. The utilization of ...

Bioconversion of lignocellulose by microbial fermentation is typically preceded by an acidic thermochemical pretreatment step designed to facilitate enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. Substances formed during the pretreatment of the lignocellulosic feedstock inhibit enzymatic hydrolysis as well as microbial fermentation steps. This review focuses on inhibitors from lignocellulosic feedstocks an...

Current methods for characterization of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks for biological conversion are dominated by compositional analysis and digestibility/ fermentation tests; however, both these groups of laboratory methods have their respective advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this paper is to develop a wet-chemistry assay for determination of lignocellulosic biomass quality t...

Lignocellulose is an abundant and renewable biomass that mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose lignin. The development utilization lignocellulosic ethanol effective way to solve the energy problem/crises, In addition, industry can play a significant role in controlling environmental pollution extending agricultural industrial chain; however, it has not been able realize large-scale indust...

The rapid population growth, increasing global energy demand, climate change, and excessive use of fossil fuels have adversely affected environmental management sustainability. Furthermore, the requirements for a safer ecology environment necessitated renewable materials, thereby solving problem sustainability resources. In this perspective, lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive natural reso...
