Current biological research in conversion of cellulosic carbohydrates into liquid fuels: how far have we come

摘要: Current developments in the conversion of cellulosic carbohydrates into liquid fuels are reviewed. Four processes using mixed microbial cultures described that directly convert cellulose and hemicellulose to ethanol. The production sugars, which converted by fermentation, dilute acid hydrolysis together with yeast fermentation starch-derived glucose It is predicted most significant advances towards biological from will occur through discovery new microorganisms expanded genetic versatilities altered membrane compositions. 125 references.
