EFFICIENT LIGNOCELLULOSE HYDROLYSIS WITH INTEGRATED ENZYME PRODUCTION

The present invention provides a process for degradation of lignocellulosic biomass, which has optionally been pretreated. It is based on the finding that hydrolysis efficiency of the biomass is enhanced in the presence of a mechanically or chemically treated microorganism capable of producing the r...

More Information
Summary:The present invention provides a process for degradation of lignocellulosic biomass, which has optionally been pretreated. It is based on the finding that hydrolysis efficiency of the biomass is enhanced in the presence of a mechanically or chemically treated microorganism capable of producing the respective hydrolytic enzymes. The invention therefore provides a process for degradation of lignocellulosic biomass with integrated produced enzyme cocktails. The invention also provides a process wherein the part of the optionally pre-treated lignocellulosic biomass is incorporated into the final growth medium of the fungus.
