Thermotolerant fermenting yeasts for simultaneous saccharification fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable source of energy that has been widely explored as second-generation biofuel feedstock. Despite more than four decades of research, the process of ethanol production from lignocellulosic (LC) biomass remains economically unfeasible. This is due t...
