Ethanol Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass Using Xylotrophic Basidiomycetes

摘要

The scientific literature on the use of xylotrophic basidial fungi for pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass was reviewed. The influence of cultivation conditions on the treatment effectiveness was studied. The major deficiencies of consolidated bioprocessing of plant materials into ethanol using basidiomycetes were the low final ethanol concentration and the long pretreatment time.
