The biochemical conversion of cellulosic biomass to ethanol, a promising alternative fuel, can be carried out efficiently and economically using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. The SSF integrates the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, catalyzed by the syn
The reducing sugars, glucose, and ethanol produced during growth of the anaerobes Clostridium thermocellum and Acetivibrio cellulolyticus on cellulose were assayed. Zymomonas mobilTs was grown under similar conditions and could ferment glucose to ethanol. The ethanol production by the cellulolytic
