Lignocellulosic biomass is found abundantly in the biosphere of earth which can be a good source for bioethanol production. The sugar polymers of cell wall like cellulose and hemicelluloses are bound with lignin, resisting their hydrolysis. Pretreatment of biomass is necessary to expose cellulose by degradation of lignin, which is a major problem in pretreatment. …

Second generation bioethanol referred as biofuel is rising as most likely alternative fuel to fossil fuel. The second generation biofuel production has also mitigated the use of feedstock as substrate for ethanol production unlike the first generation ethanol conventionally produced from dedicated energy crops like corn, wheat and sugarcane etc. High amount of pentose sugars …
