Abstract
Bioethanol production is perhaps the most successful biotechnological innovation known to human race. Presently, the renewed interest in ethanol technology is realized due to its utility not only as a chemical feedstock for synthesis of wide range of solvents, adhesives, plastics, pharmaceuticals, etc., but also as an octane enhancer in unleaded gasoline thereby, an energy feedstock. Thus, ethanol as a key tone product in the conversion of renewable biomass containing sugars is well established since the petroleum crisis of the 1970s. The economic production of ethanol from sugar and starchy materials still warrants attention on (i) availability of improved yeast strains having substrate and product tolerance, (ii) high substrate transformation rate and (iii) relatively high ethanol productivity. Although several microbes are known to produce ethanol, commercial processes mostly rely on selection of microbial strain for desirable attributes and application of economically cheaper substrates. In the light of these facts, lignocellulosic biomass for economic ethanol production has attracted attention as an alternative substrate worldwide and various efforts are being undertaken to overcome the bottlenecks. Major obstacle in large scale production from lignocellulosics for bioethanol at reasonable price lies in availability of techno-economic process and strain tolerant to edaphic conditions. Keeping this perspective in view, bioethanol production is analyzed in the present review with a focus on ethanologenic microbes, potential substrates, conventional methods of production (First generation), lignocellulosic biomass based production technologies and factor contributing to high ethanol yield etc.
