Consolidated Bioprocessing using an Edible Mushroom
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
Worldwide attention has now focused on bioethanol production to combat global warming and to safeguard global energy. Lignocelluloses are expected to be utilized in future as fuel ethanol production because of competition between food and fuel production. One of the major problems in producing ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is high production cost and consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is gaining recognition as a potential breakthrough for low-cost biomass processing. Basidiomycetes appear suitable for use in CBP because they can achieve the both events of lignocellulose breakdown and ethanol fermentation. We are developing CBP bioethanol production by using Flammulina velutipes from sorghums. It turns out the relationship between varietal characteristics of sorghums and ethanol conversion properties of F. velutipes, and the direction should be performed in the future became clear.
