Genetic manipulation strategies for ethanol production from bioconversion of lignocellulose waste.

Lignocellulose waste was served as promising raw material for bioethanol production. Bioethanol was considered to be a potential alternative energy to take the place of fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass synthesized by plants is regenerative, sufficient and cheap source for bioethanol production. The biotransformation of lignocellulose could exhibit dual significance-reduction of pollution and obtaining of energy. Some strategies are being developing and increasing the utilization of lignocellulose waste to produce ethanol. New technology of bioethanol production from natural lignocellulosic biomass is required. In this paper, the progress in genetic manipulation strategies including gene editing and synthetic genomics for the transformation from lignocellulose to ethanol was reviewed. At last, the application prospect of bioethanol was introduced.
