Use of biocatalizers in the degradation of material lignocellulose: main impacts
Abstract:
The present work explains the current efforts to develop an accessible, profitable and clean technology for the utilization of lignocellulosic residues to obtain ethanol and other derivatives through fermentative processes of the different sugars and by-products that result from the degradation of cellulose. Biomass, whose main component is cellulose, is the most abundant raw material on the planet, and its rational use would produce enormous economic and ecological benefits. Acid hydrolysis of cellulose is expensive and pollutant. Therefore, it is intended to escalate to industrial levels the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose, by means of enzymes produced by several species of fungi (Trichoderma, Aspergillus, etc.), bacteria and other organisms, and looking for other industrially useful sources for a biorefinery. It is ecologically beneficial, and potencially much less expensive, but it is necessary to reproduce to an …
