Escalating trends in fossil fuel consumption has lead to shortage of energy domains. Cellulosic biomass is regarded the most promising substitute for supplementation of energy demands. Enzyme production from lignocellulosic biomass via biological route seems to be very attractive and sustainable due to ubiquitous nature of biomass and its non-competitiveness with food crops. The key element in bioconversion process of lignocellulosics to biofuels is the hydrolytic enzymes chiefly cellulases. Cellulases are the third largest industrial enzyme in the world and gaining rejuvenated interest due...

Enzyme production from lignocellulosic biomass is sustainable owing to their ubiquitious nature and non-competitivness with food crops. Agrowastes accumulate in envonment in substantial amounts as pollutants, and primarily comprise of cellulose and hemicellulose that can be saccharified by cellulases to produce fermentable sugars yielding bioethanol. However, cellulase production cost is major impediment in bioenergy production scenario. Saccharum spontaneum is an abundantly found agrowaste with high cellulose content which can be employed for cellulase production through biological route. In...

Unstable oil markets with rising environmental concerns have revived widespread interest in production of biofuel from renewable materials. Cellulosic materials are abundant and prominent feedstocks for cost effective bioethanol production. A progressive move towards the sustainable and renewable energy sources has been started with the continuous depletion of conventional fossil fuels, rise in energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gas. Bioethanol is a proficient alternative fuel that can be biologically produced from waste materials and feedstock. In present investigation the...

Unstable oil markets with rising environmental concerns have revived widespread interest in production of biofuel from renewable materials. Cellulosic materials are abundant and prominent feedstocks for cost effective bioethanol production. The current study deals with bioethanol production from pretreated Saccharum spontaneum with employment of strain improvement of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Alkaline pretreatment with 2 % NaOH resulted in increased cellulose content to 82 %. Optimal conditions for saccharification were found to has significantly (p 0.05) elevated saccharification rate with...
