Abstract

Development of domestic studies of cellulose-degrading microorganisms and enzymes is reviewed, with emphasis on the prospects of producing ethanol from cellulose materials using cellulolytic enzymes. Domestic research groups leading in the field are presented. A section of the review analyzes problems and prospects of setting up ecologically safe production of motor biofuels from renewable raw materials of plant origin (an approach developed in Russia).
