Utilisation of wheat bran as a substrate for bioethanol production using recombinant cellulases and amylolytic yeast

This study demonstrated that untreated wheat bran could be a promising ready-to-use substrate for ethanol production. The addition of crude recombinant cellulases improved ethanol yields in the SSF process and S. cerevisiae MEL2[TLG1-SFA1] and M2n[TLG1-SFA1] strains can efficiently convert wheat bran's starch to ethanol.
