Overall economics of the biomass to ethanol process is largely determined by the efficiency
of biomass hydrolysis. Performance of cellulase cocktails used for saccharification of …

A major constraint in the enzymatic saccharification of biomass for ethanol production is the
cost of cellulase enzymes. Production cost of cellulases may be brought down by …

Background The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is still considered as one of the main
limiting steps of the biological production of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass. It is a …

Geopolitical concerns (unstable supply of gasoline, environmental pollution, and regular
price hikes), economic, and employment concerns have been prompting researchers …

Profitable biomass conversion processes are highly dependent on the use of efficient
enzymes for lignocellulose degradation. Among the cellulose degrading enzymes, beta …

Commercial cellulase enzymes have been used in the food, detergent, and textile industries,
and are potentially effective for processing biomass feedstocks. A survey was undertaken to …

Background Enzyme end-product inhibition is a major challenge in the hydrolysis of
lignocellulose at a high dry matter consistency. β-glucosidases (BGs) hydrolyze cellobiose …

One of the major challenges in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into liquid
biofuels includes the search for a glucose tolerant beta-gulucosidase. Beta-glucosidase is …

Cellulase production is an essential and important step in the biomass-to-ethanol process.
This chapter reviews the cellulase production technology with an emphasis on realistic …

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass depends on simultaneous saccharification
of cellulose to glucose by fungal cellulases and fermentation of glucose to ethanol by …
