Abstract

Interest in biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass has shifted from traditional applications, such as ruminant feed upgrading and biopulping, to biofuel production. Biological pretreatment is considered to be a “green” technology as it is performed under ambient conditions without chemical addition. The main benefits include low energy requirements and little or no waste stream output. It has the potential to be applied to on-farm wet storage for cost-effective biofuels production from lignocellulosic biomass. White rot fungi are particularly suitable for biological pretreatment as they enzymatically degrade lignin through their unique ligninolytic systems. This chapter reviews biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with white rot fungi under solid-sate fermentation for on-farm application. The topics discussed focus on ligninolytic systems, processing conditions, and degradation effectiveness of lignocellulose biomass.
