ISBN: 9780128179536 出版年：2020 页码：256 Elsevier Science_RM

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.Covers genetic engineering approaches for higher cellulase production from fungiIncludes genetic and metabolic engineering approaches for development of potential pentose and hexose fermenting strain which can tolerate high ethanol and toxic phenolic compoundsDescribe different bioreactors used in different steps of biomass-based biofuel productionOutlines future prospects and potential of biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass
