Bioconversion of Water Hyacinth to Ethanol by Using Cellulase from Trichoderma atroviride AD-130

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Present study showed that water hyacinth could be used as a suitable alternative cheaper carbohydrate source for bioethanol production. Crude cellulase and β-glucosidase were produced by using fungi Trichoderma atroviride AD-130. Highest yield of reducing sugars (451.13 g/L) was obtained from acid pretreated water hyacinth supplemented with 0.1% PEG-6000. The highest ethanol concentration (16.43 g/L) from enzymatic hydrolysate of substrate was achieved with a corresponding ethanol yield of 0.28 g/g sugar.
