Considering that the cost of cellulases and hemicellulases substantially contributes to the
price of 2nd-generation ethanol, reducing the cost of the substances used as inducers of …

The conversion of biomass into ethanol using fast, cheap, and efficient methodologies to
disintegrate and hydrolyse the lignocellulosic biomass is the major challenge of the …

The development of more productive strains of microorganisms and processes that increase
enzyme levels can contribute to the economically efficient production of second generation …

Bioethanol has been recognized as a potential alternative to petroleum-derived
transportation fuels. Even if cellulosic biomass is less expensive than corn and sugarcane …

Xylitol production from hardwood hemicellulosic hydrolysates by well‐known ethanol‐
producing yeasts was stimulated through an experimental schedule including pretreatments …

Xylose is the second most abundant sugar in lignocellulosic biomass and on the planet. In
the second-generation bioethanol production process, it is essential to metabolize all sugars …

A major hurdle in the production of bioethanol with second-generation feedstocks is the high
cost of the enzymes for saccharification of the lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable …

Plant biomass possesses huge potential as a source for the production of biofuels. Glucose
and the five-carbon sugar xylose are the principal constituents of biomass. The yeast …

Fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials is at a level where commercial biofuel
production is becoming a reality. The solubilization of the hemicellulose fraction in …

In this work, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains PE-2 and CAT-1, commonly used in the
Brazilian fuel ethanol industry, were engineered for xylose fermentation, where the first …
