Abstract: 

Tobacco (Nicotina tobaccum) can generate a large amount of inexpensive biomass more efficiently. The current research is focused on using green tobacco as a feedstock for ethanol production. Acid pretreatment of green tobacco leaves increases efficiency of saccharification by releasing high amount of sugar monomers from complex polymer. It is easiest way to produce bio-ethanol from green tobacco leaves by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as there is no need of any additional supporting media.
