Cost-efficient production of pullulan is of great importance but remains challenging due largely to the high-cost carbon sources. Lignocellulosic biomass is considered an alternative carbon source for industrial pullulan production, while new fungus producers that co-utilizing lignocellulose-derived glucose and xylose are required.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material source for ethanol production. Particularly, the sugarcane bagasse (SCB) coming from the sugar waste of the refinery is very rich in lignocellulose that can be biochemically transformed into ethanol. However, its recalcitrant structure necessitates a pretreatment step to break up the lignocellulosic matrix, thus improving the accessibility of hydrolytic enzymes to carbohydrates for sugar production.

Trichoderma harzianum is used in biotechnology applications due to its ability to produce powerful enzymes for the conversion of lignocellulosic substrates into soluble sugars. Active enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism are defined as carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), and the most abundant family in the CAZy database is the glycoside hydrolases. The enzymes of this family play a fundamental role in the decomposition of plant biomass.

Sugarcane bagasse has been proposed as a lignocellulosic residue for second-generation ethanol (2G) produced by breaking down biomass into fermentable sugars. The enzymatic cocktails for biomass degradation are mostly produced by fungi, but low cost and high efficiency can consolidate 2G technologies. A. fumigatus plays an important role in plant biomass degradation capabilities and recycling.

Brassica crops are cultivated widely for human consumption and animal feed purposes, and oilseed rape/canola (Brassica napus and rapa) is the second most important oilseed worldwide. Because of its natural diversity and genetic complexity, genomics studies on oilseed rape will be a useful resource base to modify the quantity and quality of biomass in various crops, and therefore, should have a positive impact on lignocellulosic biofuel production.

Lignin is the second most abundant natural renewable biopolymer after cellulose on the earth. It is commonly generated as a by-product from the paper and ethanol industry. The complexity and richness of its functional groups make lignin attractive for converting into a variety of high-value products such as syngas, carbon fiber, phenolic resin, various oxidized products, and multifunctional hydro-carbons. This work intends to provide a comprehensive overview of structures and different types of lignin, as well as the recent progress in its preparation techniques.
