Project: Designer cellulosomics for customized solutions towards sustainable bioethanol production

2016-02-01 – 2022-01-31

Abstract

Bioethanol constitutes an important alternative for the petroleum-based industry. Instead of food crops (corn, sugar cane), the focus shifted to lignocellulosic biomass side streams as sustainable source for sugars for bioethanol production. This research proposal implements an in house developed enzyme engineering method to customize the enzymatic step in an efficient way for any lignocellulosic source.
