Abstract:The massive dependence on fossil fuels to produce ethanol has damaged the environment. This compels the quest for other alternatives using lignocellulosic materials (2 nd generation bioethanol) so as not to compete and disturb food security purposes. The promising biomass to be valorized is corn cob because of its high productivity and short harvest period. Coupled with the fact that simulation studies of its fermentation with Zymomonas mobilis to produce bioethanol are still lacking, a corn cob sustainable va… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
