Production of ethanol from cellulosic substrates utilizing microorganisms

Abstract

A continuous source of biofuel is disclosed that is formed from at least one colonizing entity, at least one cellulosic material and at least one carbohydrate conversion source. A process for producing a continuous source of biofuel comprises: providing at least one colonizing entity, providing at least one cellulosic material, providing at least one carbohydrate conversion source, combining the at least one colonizing entity, the at least one cellulosic material and the at least one carbohydrate conversion source to form a biofuel-precursor, incubating the biofuel-precursor at a temperature for a time period in order to produce a biofuel. In contemplated embodiments, the biofuel comprises ethanol.
