Wood-decaying basidiomycete fungi play key roles in recycling
forest resources through multi-enzyme systems that degrade
lignocelluloses. Therefore, basidiomycete fungi are expected to
be potentially useful as a pretreatment in biorefinery processes
including the production of biofuels and functional chemicals from
lignocellulosic materials [12]. In a previous study, we screened the
ability of the white rot fungus Trametes suaveolens to efficiently
produce ethanol [13]. During additional screening of efficient
ethanol-producing basidiomycete fungi, we found that Trametes
hirsuta, which produces efficient ligninolytic enzymes (laccases)
[14], is capable of effectively producing ethanol from hexoses in
addition to starch, wheat bran and rice straw. In this study, the
fermentability of this fungus has been examined and possible applications
of T. hirsuta in consolidated bioprocessing are presented.
