One of the challenges to the economic viability of ethanol produced from lignocellulosic biomass (2G ethanol) is in the fermentation stage. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is widely used in Brazilian plants for the production of 1G ethanol. However, for this yeast be employed with success in producing large volume of 2G ethanol is necessary to expand the use of different carbon sources, includi…
Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) is a saprophyte fungus involved in the degradation of cell wall polysaccharides from plants. T. reesei has an astonishing ability to produce and secrete cellulases, and is the most important industrial fungus in the production of these enzymes that are used, among other purposes, in the biofuel industry, such as bioethanol. The degradation of the com…
The bioproduction of ethanol from lignocellulosic materials is in the national interest, requiring the use of microbial strains capable of fermenting not only the main sugars, but also perform the enzymatic hydrolysis of carbohydrate polymers. Polysaccharides present in these materials are lignocellulosic feedstocks for production of second generation ethanol, due to its wide availability…
In the second-generation (2G) ethanol production process, the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass releases a mixture of sugars, including hexoses (e.g., glucose), pentoses (e.g., xylose), and cellodextrins (e.g., cellobiose). Over the fermentation stage, the transport of these sugars into the yeast cell is the first and critical step to enable the microbial production of ethan…
One of the major challenges of biotechnology is the development of biological processes that reduce the negative impacts on the environment caused by the burning of fossil fuels. In this context, biofuels have received attention in recent decades. Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger are among the main producers of lignocellulolytic enzymes, which are used in the conversion of lignoce…
