Fermentation and Enzymatic Saccharification of Cellulose and Lignin Waste.

摘要

An ever existent problem of primary concern is that of providing water for safe use. Although much scientific research has been devoted to alleviating this problem,it has only been within recent years that lignin and cellulose, a traditional waste material,has been recognized as a potential raw material. The development of the technology to utilize waste cellulose and lignin as a fermentation or hydrolysis substrate would afford several opportunities:it could help mitigate the waste water problem,provide a valuable raw material supply,aid in providing potential food products for an ever increasing world population,and allow for water reuse. The report describes a method for the degradation of cellulose utilizing a fungus enzyme system.
