Thermophilic Fungal Lignocellulolytic Enzymes in Biorefineries

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Progress in Mycology

Abstract

Lignocellulose-based (2G) ethanol plants have become operational at commercial and demonstration scale. Some of the major companies, such as Raizen-Iotech, Novozymes, Clariant, DSM POET, and PRAJ, have taken the lead in this venture. However, the research and development for reducing the cost of lignocellulosic ethanol is a hotly pursued area. Technological innovations for improved pretreatment of the lignocellulosic substrates and bioprospecting and developing robust catalytically active lignocellulolytic enzymes for efficient hydrolysis of cellulose are desired to make lignocellulose-based white biotechnology a reality in the near future. This chapter discusses the current scenario of two of the key components of the bioconversion platform, i.e., pretreatment and enzyme hydrolysis approaches, being followed in the existing facilities.
