ELEPHANT GRASS (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) IS A PROMISING FEEDSTOCK FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION BY THE THERMOTOLERANT YEAST Kluyveromyces marxianus CCT 7735

ABSTRACT Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) is regarded as a promising feedstock for second generation ethanol production, due to its high cellulose content, biomass production and rapid growth. The yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus CCT 7735 is capable of producing ethanol from agroindustria...
