Bacterial and Processing Modifications for Efficient Ethanol Production from Biomass
Bacterial Modifications and Processing Treatments Allow for Efficient Conversion of Sugars into Ethanol These biomass-processing methods and bacterial biocatalysts enable more efficient and cost-effective ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. Lignocellulose is composed of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose; the latter two components are...
