Abstract

Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is a potential system for reducing costs of production of bioethanol from lignocelluloses, combining hydrolysis and fermentation into a unique reactor, and exploiting the ability of engineered microorganisms to perform both the reactions. CBP would represent a breakthrough for low-cost biomass processing, due to economic benefits of process integration and, mainly, avoiding the high costs of the cellulolytic enzymes. This chapter discusses the progresses achieved in the development of both the CBP category I and category II, where CBP category I deals with engineering of a cellulase producer to make it ethanologenic and category II consists in engineering an ethanologenic microorganism to render it cellulolytic.
