Abstract

Huge amounts of lignocellulosic waste, consisting mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, are ge- nerated through forestry, agriculture and food industry. Given the available amount of these cheap and renewable raw materials in the Republic of Croatia, it is important to consider the possibility of their conversion into ethanol and other biotechnological products. Lignocellulosic hydrolysates are complex mixtures of hexoses, pentoses and other compounds, some of which may act as fermentation inhibitors. This paper reviews yeast strains that are used and/or studied for ethanol production by fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolyzates.

Keywords
