Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is one process option for production
of ethanol from lignocellulose. The principal benefits of performing the enzymatic hydrolysis …

Background While advantages of biofuel have been widely reported, studies also highlight
the challenges in large scale production of biofuel. Cost of ethanol and process energy use …

In the present context of energy crisis, exploration of lignocellulosic biomass has emerged
as potential substitute to maintain environmental sustainability. However, the conversion of …

Efficient fermentation of hemicellulosic sugars is critical for the bioconversion of
lignocellulosics to ethanol. Efficient sugar uptake through the heterologous expression of …

Abstract Background Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been engineered for
xylose utilization to enable production of fuel ethanol from lignocellulose raw material. One …

Simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) of steam exploded corn stover
(SECS) was investigated at 5–25% solid loadings compared with other conversion …
