Summary Introduction

To explain: The steps of the process that must be optimized during the production of ecologically viable cellulosic biofuel.

Concept introduction: Cellulosic biofuel is the ethanol produced from plant extract called ethanol. This biofuel is mainly produced from grasses, wood, algae, or other plant extracts rather than seed or fruit. Cellulose biofuel has an important economic potential for toxic-free ethanol production.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reasons for which the genetically engineered organisms are part of the production of economically viable cellulosic biofuel.

Concept introduction: Pentose phosphate pathway is the way of breakdown of glucose-6-phosphate that utilizes the series that involves the five-carbon pentose sugars. The main evidence of oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconate continues as an enzymatic reaction.
