Consolidated Bioprocessing at High Temperature

2017
Replacing fossil fuels by biomass-derived ethanol (also known as second-generation ethanol or bioethanol) can provide the dual benefits of renewability and mitigation of the effects of global warming caused by the overexploitation of petroleum-derived transportation fuels.

Feasibilities of consolidated bioprocessing microbes: From pretreatment to biofuel production

Bioresource Technology, 2014
Lignocelluloses are rich sugar treasures, which can be converted to useful commodities such as biofuel with the help of efficient combination of enzymes and microbes. Although several bioprocessing approaches have been proposed, biofuel production from lignocelluloses is limited because of economically infeasible technologies for pretreatment ...

Biobutanol Production from Crystalline Cellulose through Consolidated Bioprocessing

Trends in Biotechnology, 2019
Biobutanol production directly from lignocellulose, known as consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), is expected to be much less expensive than a process where hydrolytic enzyme production, cellulose saccharification, and microbial fermentation are accomplished separately. However, few microbes possess both cellulolytic and solventogenic properties in nature.

Factors influencing cellulosome activity in Consolidated Bioprocessing of cellulosic ethanol

Bioresource Technology, 2010
The cellulosome, a multi-subunit protein complex catalyzing cellulose degradation in cellulolytic Clostridium thermocellum, plays a crucial role in Consolidated Bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulose into ethanol. Here, activity of cellulosome was tested under varying concentrations of chemical compounds derived from lignocellulose pretreatment and ...

A minimal set of bacterial cellulases for consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulose

Biotechnology Journal, 2011
AbstractCost‐effective release of fermentable sugars from non‐food biomass through biomass pretreatment/enzymatic hydrolysis is still the largest obstacle to second‐generation biorefineries. Therefore, the hydrolysis performance of 21 bacterial cellulase mixtures containing the glycoside hydrolase family 5 Bacillus subtilis endoglucanase (BsCel5 ...

Consolidated Bioprocessing for Bioethanol Production Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae

2007
Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulose to bioethanol refers to the combining of the four biological events required for this conversion process (production of saccharolytic enzymes, hydrolysis of the polysaccharides present in pretreated biomass, fermentation of hexose sugars, and fermentation of pentose sugars) in one reactor.

Progress and challenges in the engineering of non-cellulolytic microorganisms for consolidated bioprocessing

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2015
Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant, renewable feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals, if an efficient and affordable conversion technology can be established to overcome its recalcitrance. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) featuring enzyme production, substrate hydrolysis and fermentation in a single step is a biologically mediated ...

Partially consolidated bioprocessing of mixed lignocellulosic feedstocks for ethanol production

Bioresource Technology, 2017
Rapid urbanization and industrialization have accelerated the energy demand which cannot be met by decreasing fossil fuels thereby substantiate the need for lignocellulosic ethanol. The present study is one such attempt towards bioethanol production in an eco-friendly manner using enzymes in which a mixture of lignocellulosic biomass namely, Ricinus ...

Developing Cellulolytic Organisms for Consolidated Bioprocessing of Lignocellulosics

2013
Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant, renewable feedstock for the production of biofuels and chemicals in a potentially sustainable manner. The main reason that it is not widely used at present is the technological barrier that there is no low-cost technology, either biological or thermochemical, to overcome the recalcitrance of ...

Consolidated Bioprocessing for Improving Cellulosic Ethanol Production

2013
Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is a potential system for reducing costs of production of bioethanol from lignocelluloses, combining hydrolysis and fermentation into a unique reactor, and exploiting the ability of engineered microorganisms to perform both the reactions.
