Circular Economy Involving Microbial Consortia in Consolidated Bioprocesses to Produce Biofuels

TL;DR: In this paper , the sustainable production of bio-fuels through the use of microbial consortia in consolidated bioprocesses (CBP) is addressed, where the authors present advantages and drawbacks of using synthetic microbial consortsia (e.g., those designed by different mechanisms such as genetic modification) against native consortias (NC) isolated from different ecosystems to reduce costs and residence times.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

Biomass recalcitrance: engineering plants and enzymes for biofuels production.

TL;DR: Here, the natural resistance of plant cell walls to microbial and enzymatic deconstruction is considered, collectively known as “biomass recalcitrance,” which is largely responsible for the high cost of lignocellulose conversion.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels

TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
