“…Various filamentous fungi, such as certain Trichoderma and Aspergillus species, have been reported to produce bioethanol as the main fermentation product from lignocellulosic biomass, directly. These fungi are thought to contain two biological systems: one system produces cellulase enzyme for degradation of cellulose to fermentable sugars under aerobic conditions; the second system produces ethanol under anaerobic conditions (Greetham, Zaky, & Du, ; Greetham, Zaky, Makanjuola, & Du, ; Zaky, Greetham, Tucker, & Du, ). However, although Trichoderma and Aspergillus are able to utilize five of the lignocellulosic sugars (glucose, mannose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose) and the ability of direct fermentation of lignocellulose to bioethanol, they do not produce bioethanol with high yield and high rate.…”
