Abstract
Development of national research of cellulose-degrading microorganisms and enzymes is reviewed, with emphasis on the prospects of producing ethanol from cellulose materials using cellulolytic enzymes. Leading Russian research groups in this field are introduced. A section of the review analyzes problems and prospects of setting up environmentally friendly production of motor biofuels from renewable raw materials of plant origin (an approach developed in Russia).Keywords
