Currently, ethanol is the most consumed biofuel in the world. In Brazil there are three types of industrial processes for producing ethanol, known as "First Generation" (1G), "Second Generation" (2G) and corn ethanol. In the 1G ethanol production, sugarcane juice and molasses (resulting from the production of sugar) are converted to ethanol using industrial yeasts of the species Saccharom…
Due to the demand for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to search for new energy alternatives. Some species of plants of the genus Agave are used for the production of sisal fiber in semi-arid areas and Brazil is the largest producer of this fiber in the world. The production is concentrated in the hinterlands of the Northeast region and this crop has great import…
Energy-cane is a commercial hybrid that has a high fiber content, low sucrose content and greater productivity compared to commercial sugarcane hybrids. In Brazil, some companies have developed commercial varieties of energy-cane, such as CanaBertix® from GranBio S/A. We recently explored the molecular differences between sugar cane and energy-cane through analyzes of sugar metabolism and…
Brazil is a world reference in renewable energy. In terms of fuels, the country has reached high levels of bioethanol production since the creation of the National Alcohol Program (Proálcool) in 1975, becoming the world's second largest biofuel producer. But, whether in Brazil or in other countries, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae assumes a central role in the ethanol production chain.…
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant development, thus it is intensely consumed by modern farming systems. In order to reduce dependence on phosphate fertilizers, an emerging strategy is utilization of inocula containing microorganisms capable of increasing phosphorus uptake by plants. Hence, plant microbiomes that colonize phosphorus-depleted soils represent a natural reservoir …
Besides the fact that Brazil is one of the most important world producers of first generation ethanol and it has hundreds plants in its national territory, this process present technological limitations which have encouraged the pursuit for new alternatives, the main one is second generation ethanol that aim use biomass as feedstock. Both first and second generation production present lim…
