Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, combinations of cellulolytic microbes and fermentation microbes were assayed to find one which can produce biofuel directly from cellulosic biomass. In consequence, addition of a culture supernatant of Gilvimarinus japonicus to yeast was found to produce ethanol from seaweed biomass. Addition of a culture supernatant of Trametes versicolor to hydrogen-producing bacterial flora was found to produce hydrogen from several lignocellulosic biomass. Our results strongly suggest that a suitable combination of cellulolytic strains and fermentation strains can transform cellulosic biomass directly to biofuel.
