Lack of industrially suitable microorganisms for converting biomass into fuel ethanol has traditionally been cited as a major technical roadblock to developing a bioethanol industry (Dien et al., 2003). Currently, few bacterial and yeast species are known to ferment various sugars into ethanol. The potential of local microbial strains for ethanol production is yet to be verified. Information is not available on the suitability of local cassava varieties for ethanol production and there is still the need to improve the technology of production and define the yield of products.
