Abstract

Abstract: Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), refers to bioprocessing by exploitation and utilization of ideal chassis microorganisms to directly convert lignocellulose into bioproducts in one processing. The research background, development concepts and technology roadmaps of the CBP were briefly introduced in this paper. Subsequently, we comprehensively reviewed the different strategies and the recent research progress in CBP lignocellulose to second generation bioethanol production. Then, the advantages and bottleneck factors of the native, recombinant and co-culture strains used in CBP bioethanol fermentation were analyzed. The genetic engineering, metabolic engineering and other techniques' application value and potential for overcoming the barrier factors of CBP bioethanol production and increasing bioethanol yield were assessed. Ultimately, this review provided a brief commentary on the contribution of emerging biotech, such as ‘omics’ and synthetic biology and on CBP bioethanol production and the recent conditions of the lignocellulosic bioethanol production toward commercialization scale, as well as opportunities and challenges in the future.

Key words: consolidated bioprocessing, lignocellulose, bioethanol, fermentation, biotechnology
