| Overview | The patent discloses a method for producing ethanol from a novel enzyme composition isolated form Chrysosporium lucknowense. This enzyme formulation can also be used in the production of lactic acid, organic acid, vitamins, amino acids etc. The method comprises, A) providing an enzyme formulation, containing at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of CBH Ib, CBH IIb, EG II, EG VI, BGL, and Xyl II, B) applying the enzyme formulation to lignocellulosic material to produce a fermentable sugar, and C) fermenting the sugar to produce ethanol. |
