dc.description.abstract |
There is an increased interest in using thermophilic bacteria for the production
of bioethanol from complex lignocellulosic biomass due to their higher operating
temperatures and broad substrate range. This review focuses upon the main genera of
thermophilic anaerobes known to produce ethanol, their physiology, and the relevance of
various environmental factors on ethanol yields including the partial pressure of hydrogen,
ethanol tolerance, pH and substrate inhibition. Additionally, recent development in
evolutionary adaptation and genetic engineering of thermophilic bacteria is highlighted.
Recent developments in advanced process techniques used for ethanol production are
reviewed with an emphasis on the advantages of using thermophilic bacteria in process
strategies including separate saccharification and fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), and consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). |
