Due to rapid growth in population and industrialization, worldwide ethanol demand is
increasing continuously. Conventional crops such as corn and sugarcane are unable to …

This article reviews developments in the technology for ethanol production from
lignocellulosic materials by “enzymatic” processes. Several methods of pretreatment of …

Experiments of microcrystalline cellulose conversion in subcritical and supercritical water
were conducted at temperatures between 290 and 400° C, a pressure of 25 MPa, and …

Abstract Development of biodiesel and renewable diesel is hampered by the high cost of
feedstocks (60–70% of the total cost). In order for these biofuels to substitute or supplement …

A rice straw-cellulose utilizing mold was isolated from rotted rice straw residues. The efficient
rice straw degrading microorganism was identified as Trichoderma reesei. The results …

Cellulases acting on crystalline cellulose in synergistic mixtures have higher combined
activities than the sum of their individual activities. The mechanisms by which different types …

A lignocellulosic decomposing fungus Z5 was isolated and identified as Aspergillus
fumigatus, its capacity to produce cellulase was assessed under solid-state fermentation …

Different cellulosic materials were treated with different extraceller microbial enzymes.
Changes in structure and properties of the cellulose caused by enzymatic treatment depend …

To exploit cellulosic materials for fuel ethanol production, a microorganism capable of high
temperature and simultaneous saccharification–fermentation has been required. However, a …

To optimize enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded corn stover (SECS), two approaches,
response surface methodology (RSM) and utilization of the cellulase from mixed cultures of …
