Genetic and Metabolic Engineering for Improved Biofuel Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass
Coordonnateurs : Kuila Arindam, Sharma Vinay
Genetic and Metabolic Engineering for Improved Biofuel Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass describes the different aspects of biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass. Each chapter presents different technological approaches for cost effective liquid biofuel production from agroresidues/biomass. Two chapters cover future direction and the possibilities of biomass-based biofuel production at the industrial level. The book provides a genetic and metabolic engineering approach for improved cellulase production and the potential of strains that can ferment both pentose and hexose sugars. The book also gives direction on how to overcome challenges for the further advancement of lignocellulosic biomass-based biofuel production.
1. Development of cellulolytic strain by genetic engineering approach for enhanced cellulose production 2. Development of cellulolytic thermo tolerant fungal strain 3. Development of efficient strain for both pentose and hexose sugar fermentation by genetic engineering approach 4. Development of ethanol fermenting yeast for high tolerance to inhibitory compounds 5. Development of efficient fungal strain for high enzyme production by metabolic engineering approach 6. Genetic engineering of cellulolytic fungal strain for ethanol production 7. Present status and future prospect of genetic and metabolic engineering for biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass 8. Current status of cellulase production by fungal strains 9. Bioreactor design for efficient biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass 10. Downstream processing of biofuel 11. Future scope and potential of genetic and metabolic engineering approach for cost effective biomass-based biofuel production
