Hemicellulose utilization by yeast for ethanol production- adaptation, effect of inhibitors and a flux balance based analysis

Creator:

Avanasi Narasimhan, Ragothaman

Abstract:

A major challenge in ethanol production using lignocellulosic feed stock is inefficient utilization of hemicellulose, which accounts for 30-40% of lignocellulosic biomass. Xylose, comprising >60% of recoverable sugars from hemicellulose is a major product of the hemicellulose hydrolysis. Utilization of this carbon source would significantly increase the ethanol yield from...
