METHOD AND MEDIUM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BIOETHANOL USING GENUS TYPHA L.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a medium for the production of bioethanol using a perennial herbaceous plant, Genus Typha L. More particularly, the method for the production of bioethanol comprises the steps of a) hydrolyzing Genus Typha L., and b) cultivating an ethanol -producing strain using said hydrolyzed Genus Typha L. solution as a carbon source. Due to the use of Genus Typha L. which is characterized by rigorous development of an aerial part and a rhizome, rapid growth rate and low content of lignin, the method and medium for the production of bioethanol according to the present invention exhibits excellent effects, including a significant increase in the amount of bioethanol produced, decreased cost of production and easy security of resources necessary for production, compared with conventional methods which utilized crops-or wood-based biomass.
