Recombinant Genetic Approaches for Efficient Ethanol Production

  • Chapter
Advances in Solar Energy

Abstract

Ethanol has potential use as an alternative liquid transportation fuel and as a chemical feedstock. The recent restrictions on the availability of oil focused attention on ethanol production through the microbial fermentation of biomass. The economic incentives to develop such fermentation processes are borderline. This paper discusses the manner in which recombinant genetic approaches may potentially relieve certain of the economic bottlenecks and put the fermentative production of ethanol on a firmer basis. It then reviews the genetics of bacteria and yeasts. The manner in which these processes may be used is illustrated with protocols for the development of new microbial strains that can utilize a range of less expensive substrates (cellulose and starch) and that are more tolerant of high ethanol concentrations.

Harold (Hatch) W. Stokes is currently a Research Associate at the University of Connecticut. Born and educated in Australia, he received his Ph.D. from Monash University in Microbial Genetics (1980). He explored the genetics of Zymomonas while a Research Associate at Cook College, Rutgers University.

Stephen Picataggio obtained his B.S. degree (1975) from Wagner College and then worked at Best Foods, N.J. He subsequently enrolled as a Doctoral Candidate in the Graduate Microbiology Program at Rutgers University.

Douglas E. Eveleigh is a Professor of Microbiology at Rutgers University. Trained in Britain he has worked in Canada and the U.S. on various topics in applied microbiology.
