et al. 2013). Hence, thermophilic fungi can serve as a suitable alternative of this.
Various moulds, e.g. Sporotrichum thermophile, Thermoascus aurantiacus and
Scytalidium thermophilum (Berka et al. 2011; Kaur et al. 2004), which are thermophilic in nature have shown sufficient enzymatic system for the lignocellulosic plant
biomass bioconversion process for enhanced bioethanol production. Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and Pichia stipites have been used for the production of bioethanol with
high yield at 30
C after 72 h (Bala and Singh 2019b). Similar reports with the rice
straw and waste tea cup paper hydrolysis are there in the literature using partially
purified cellulases and xylanase obtained from S. thermophile BJAMDU5, resulting
in the high yield of reducing sugars (Bala and Singh 2016). Various thermophilic
bacteria, such as Clostridium, Caldanaerobacter and Thermoanaerobacter, were
reported for high ethanol production (Taylor et al. 2009).
