Project Title : Synthesis of Ethanol from Cellulose in Grass

Project Type : Descriptive

Subject Area : Earth/Energy/Environmental

Language : English

Abstract

     Since the normal ethanol is getting hard to get, bioethanol is becoming one of highlights. The grass contains cellulose. The celulose which can be processed to produce glucose needed for fermentation. This project will research about yield of ethanol from cellulose in grass by using mesophilic cellulolytic and glycolytic clostridia.
