Renewable Biofuels

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSAPPLSCIENCES))

Abstract

Increasing the economic feasibility of biorefineries could strengthen the case for industrial production of biofuels which again could lower the environmental impact of current fossil fuel usage. Lignocellulose-degrading enzymes are derived from certain fungi and bacteria, which are not only difficult to culture at industrial scale but also exhibit low specific activity and low titer concentration. Accordingly, new technologies to improve the performance of lignocellulolytic enzymes have been investigated heavily during the last years. In this paper we will discuss the mechanism of lignocellulose degradation and the action of lignocellulolytic enzymes. We will further examine the latest developments for improving the production of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes from microbial production strains. Finally, we will discuss future strategies for cellulase production and evaluate their benefits and drawbacks.
