  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Biotechnology for lignocellulose conversion is developed with its research and application. During this process, the research method plays an important role in discovering, exploring, and establishing theories. The research method for lignocellulose conversion is also necessary for industrialization testing and control. In this chapter, research methods for the biotechnology of lignocellulose are presented. According to the biological conversion process of lignocelluloses, research methods are classified into three types: research methods for primary refining, research methods for hydrolysis with microorganisms, and research methods for fermentation engineering. Finally, research methods for the whole biotransformation process are also summarized. In each part, the related research advances of my group are also given.
