This book was released on 1996 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficiency of cellulose hydrolysis under straight saccharification and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) conditions was evaluated using three lignocellulosic materials (switchgrass, cornstover, and poplar), which had been pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid under conditions which optimized xylose concentrations in the prehydrolysate liquid. Yields of glucose, cellobiose and ethanol obtained from the pretreated feedstocks were measured over 168 hrs. The final theoretical conversions of cellulose from pretreated switchgrass, cornstover, and poplar in straight saccharification were 85-100% (average 94%), 84-100% (average 96%), and 75-100% (average 87%), respectively, while in SSF the conversions were 84-90% (average 87%), 91-96% (average 90%), 72%-82% (average 76%), respectively. The conversion rates of poplar in straight saccharification and SSF were significantly lower than those of switchgrass and cornstover. The effects of reaction parameters such as enzyme activity, cellulose availability, and yeast cell viability on the extent of hydrolysis in straight saccharification and SSF were also studied. Results indicate that the lower glucose or ethanol yields associated with some of the poplar were due to the recalcitrant nature of its cellulose. To compare accurately the efficiencies between straight saccharification and SSF, a direct method for determining the cellulose content of the feedstocks residues resulting from SSF experiments has been developed and evaluated. The method improves on classical cellulose assays by incorporating a yeast lysing enzyme to remove yeast glucans from the feedstocks residue prior to acid hydrolysis and subsequent quantification of cellulose derived glucose. A freeze-drying step was identified as necessary to render the SSF yeast cells susceptible to enzyme lysis. The method was applied to the analysis of the cellulose and yeast-glucan content of SSF residues from the three pretreated feedstocks. Cellulose assays employing the lysing enzyme preparation demonstrated relative errors up to 7.2% when yeast-associated glucan were not removed prior to analysis of SSF residues. Enzymatic lysis of SSF yeast cells may be viewed as a general preparatory procedure to be used prior to the subsequent chemical and physical analysis of SSF residues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes recent advances in the bioconversion of lignocellulosics. It starts with two articles on genetics and properties of cellulases and their re- tion kinetics and mechanisms. The cost of cellulases has been a hindrance to large scale use of enzymatic hydrolysis. Two articles on cellulase production by submerged fermentation and by solid state fementation are included to describe the state of the art in this area. Dilute acid hydrolysis of cellulose continues to be of interest as well as potentially useful. The most recent advances in this area is also covered. A great deal of progress has been made in genetic engineering for improved regulation of xylose fermentation by yeasts. An article on genetically engineered Saccharomyces for simulteaneous fermentation of glucose and xylose describes the importance advances made in production of fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. In recent years, there has been increasing interests in recycling and the reuse of scrap paper as well as environment considerations. A contribution is presented which describes the research perspectives in that area. Finally, recent advances in the use of lignocellulosic biomass for the p- duction of ethanol and organic acids are presented in two articles. Renewable resources are inevitably of great importance in the years to come. There is a never-ending search for better living conditions for human beings. The more resource materials can be recycled, the richer we will be.

Download or read book Lignocellulose Conversion written by Vincenza Faraco and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioethanol has been recognized as a potential alternative to petroleum-derived transportation fuels. Even if cellulosic biomass is less expensive than corn and sugarcane, the higher costs for its conversion make the near-term price of cellulosic ethanol higher than that of corn ethanol and even more than that of sugarcane ethanol. Conventional process for bioethanol production from lignocellulose includes a chemical/physical pre-treatment of lignocellulose for lignin removal, mostly based on auto hydrolysis and acid hydrolysis, followed by saccharification of the free accessible cellulose portions of the biomass. The highest yields of fermentable sugars from cellulose portion are achieved by means of enzymatic hydrolysis, currently carried out using a mix of cellulases from the fungus Trichoderma reesei. Reduction of (hemi)cellulases production costs is strongly required to increase competitiveness of second generation bioethanol production. The final step is the fermentation of sugars obtained from saccharification, typically performed by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The current process is optimized for 6-carbon sugars fermentation, since most of yeasts cannot ferment 5-carbon sugars. Thus, research is aimed at exploring new engineered yeasts abilities to co-ferment 5- and 6-carbon sugars. Among the main routes to advance cellulosic ethanol, consolidate bio-processing, namely direct conversion of biomass into ethanol by a genetically modified microbes, holds tremendous potential to reduce ethanol production costs. Finally, the use of all the components of lignocellulose to produce a large spectra of biobased products is another challenge for further improving competitiveness of second generation bioethanol production, developing a biorefinery.

Download or read book Water Hyacinth A Potential Lignocellulosic Biomass for Bioethanol written by Anuja Sharma and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the production of bioethanol from water hyacinth, a potential source of lignocellulosic biomass. Biofuels, as an alternative to fossil fuels, not only ensure energy security but also mitigate air pollution and reduce greenhouse emissions. Biofuels can be produced from sugar- and starch-rich food crops (first-generation biofuel) or lignocellulosic biomass (second-generation biofuel). However, the overexploitation of conventional lignocellulosic sources such as agro-industrial residues, dedicated herbaceous, hardwoods and softwoods and forest residues may lead to problems in terms of land management and biodiversity conservation. Non-conventional sources include industrial cellulosic waste, municipal solid waste and weeds. Of these, weeds are an attractive lignocellulosic source due to their prevalence and easy availability. Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as water hyacinth, is one of the world’s most invasive weeds due to its rapid proliferation rate, efficient survival strategies in extreme conditions, and it has a significant impact on the environment, ecological communities, human health and socioeconomic development. Strategies including physical removal, chemical methods and biological control agents have proven inefficient in completely eradicating Eichhornia crassipes. On the other hand, water hyacinth has a low lignin and high holocellulose content and is a rich source of lignocellulosic biomass, and has therefore been exploited as a raw material for the production of biofuel, biogas, animal and fish feed, compost and other valuable products. Further, being an aquatic plant, it does not compete with food crops for land resources. The bioethanol-generating capacity of water hyacinth is comparable to that of agricultural waste, making it a potential raw material for biofuel production.

Download or read book Sequential Solid state and Slurry Fermentation for Direct Succinic Acid Production from Non hydrolyzed Lignocellulosic Biomass Using Mixed Fungal Cultures written by Jerico Z. Alcantara and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current industrial process of producing bio-based succinic acid is thru bacterial fermentation wherein sugars from energy crops are commonly used as the substrate. The competition for biofuels and costly nutritional requirements are the drawbacks of producing succinic acid by bacterial fermentation. To address these concerns, this study investigated an alternative route of producing succinic acid from direct bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass in a two-step fermentation process using mixed fungal culture. The two-step fermentation process involved a solid-state fermentation pre-culturing phase followed by a slurry fermentation phase. In the solid-state fermentation pre-culturing phase, the cellulolytic and acidogenic fungus Aspergillus niger and cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei were co-cultured on milled soybean hull substrate to induce cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic enzyme production. The white-rot ligninolytic fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was grown separately on milled birchwood chips to produce ligninolytic enzymes. During the slurry fermentation phase, the seven-day-old fermented biomass substrates were combined and submerged in an acetate buffer for five days to induce simultaneous saccharification and succinic acid production. This research investigated succinic acid production from non-hydrolyzed lignocellulosic biomass using a two-step fermentation process employing a lignocellulolytic-acidogenic mixed fungal culture. The first study addressing Research Objective 1 examined the solid-state fermentation pre-culturing phase for lignocellulosic enzyme production. The enzyme activities and the consequential biomass degradation, saccharification, and organic acid production were discussed. The second study, which addressed Research Objectives 2 focused on statistical optimization and the effects of batch slurry fermentation variables on succinic acid yield. There have been several studies carried out on optimizing solid-state fermentation variables for cellulolytic enzyme production. Batch slurry fermentation variables such as acetic acid concentration, initial pH, and solids loading were optimized for the maximum succinic acid yield, and the effects of these variables on succinic acid yield were determined. The interaction between acetic acid concentration and initial pH could have affected the acetate and succinate anion permeability, resulting in the accumulation of succinic acid in the broth. The third study addressing Research Objectives 3 tested kinetic models to understand the kinetic behavior of fungal succinic acid production during the slurry fermentation phase under optimum conditions. The experimental data were fitted to the proposed kinetic models, and the kinetic parameters were calculated using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method and method of least squares. The logistic, Luedeking-Piret, and carbon balance rate equations were used to describe the mixed fungal biomass growth, substrate consumption, and succinic acid production, respectively. In bacterial fermentation, carbon dioxide is externally supplied to shift the metabolic pathway towards succinate production route. In this study, the probable internal sources of carbon dioxide are from carbon dioxide evolved from mixed fungal metabolism, and as an end-product of lignin degradation. The results of this study could be useful for future process improvement and scale-up of the two-step fermentation process. This fermentation technology uses relatively inexpensive substrates and nutritional requirements, which could potentially reduce the cost of fungal succinic acid, making it potentially more cost-competitive than those generated using existing bacterial fermentation process or obtained from petroleum feedstock.

Download or read book The Accessibility of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Cellulases written by Nardrapee Karuna and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lignocellulosic biomass is the most promising feedstock for renewable biofuel production. However, the inaccessibility of cellulose to cellulases limits saccharification rates of lignocellulosic biomass. To overcome this limitation, the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass typically employs thermochemical pretreatment to improve biomass digestibility. Yet, the mechanisms of how pretreatment improves the cellulose saccharification reaction are still unresolved. I hypothesized that quantification of the change in “the accessibility of cellulose to cellulase” due to pretreatment can be used as an indicator to aid in predicting the impact of the pretreatment on downstream enzymatic saccharification rates of the biomass. Increasing the adsorption of cellulases to biomass alone, however, will not necessarily lead to higher saccharification rates if the enzymes are not productively bound. Cellulases bound productively to insoluble cellulose hydrolyze glycosidic bonds, while those that are non-productively bound do not. I had developed a direct method to measure productive and non-productive binding of the cellobiohydrolase Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei (TrCel7A) on cellulose as a means to quantify the accessibility of cellulose to cellulases. Since productive cellulase binding to cellulose results in hydrolysis and can be quantified by measuring hydrolysis rates. Of the five cellulosic substrates from different sources and processing histories examined in this study, swollen filter paper and bacterial cellulose had higher productive binding capacities of ~ 6 [mu]mol/g while filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose, and algal cellulose had lower productive binding capacities of ~ 3 [mu]mol/g. There was no difference in the affinity of TrCel7A to the productive binding sites on the cellulosic substrates. The productive binding capacity of the cellulosic substrates, however, did not correlate with extent time saccharification yields. I further applied the method to quantify the initial productive binding capacity of cellulose in biomass to cellulases. Productive binding capacities of five different types of biomass: untreated rice straw, washed-alkaline pretreated rice straw, acidified-alkaline pretreated rice straw, untreated tomato pomace, and ionic-liquid pretreated tomato pomace, were demonstrated. Pretreatment improved the digestibility of the biomass and increased the productive binding capacities. The were no significant differences in the productive binding capacities of alkaline pretreatment on rice straw due to different post-pretreatment processes. However, washing-process after alkaline pretreatment increased the affinity of TrCel7A to biomass than untreated rice straw and acidified pretreated rice straw by 2-fold. Though, the differences of the affinity of TrCel7A of untreated and ionic-liquid pretreated tomato pomace were not observed. In addition, there was a positive correlation between productive binding capacity and a long term saccharification extent. It implied that the initial productive binding capacity in biomass was a rate-limiting factor of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in biomass. Thus, higher initial productive binding capacity suggested higher yield of extent of hydrolysis could be achieved.The assessment of productive binding capacity of cellulose to cellulase by using cellulase as a direct probe revealed “a biochemical accessibility,” or the number of binding sites, of cellulosic biomass to cellulases. To investigate “a physical accessibility” of cellulosic biomass to cellulase enzyme, two-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance (2D - 1H NMR) relaxometry: T[subscript 1]-T[subscript 2] correlation was applied as a tool by using water as a probe. The water in samples – glass frit filters, filter paper, swollen cellulose, untreated and SO2-steam pretreated spruce, untreated and alkaline pretreated rice straw and untreated and ionic-liquid pretreated tomato pomace – were determined. Moreover, the accessibility of biomass to cellulase by using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a cellulase proxy to avoid a change of samples due to hydrolysis reaction were observed. The accessible area for BSA tend to have higher osmotic pressure that drawn neighboring water in to the area, including water from BSA inaccessible area. As a result, increasing mobility of water in the BSA accessible areas and disappearing of some compartments were observed, when comparing with sample in pure water. In addition, water in hydrolyzed biomass were investigated. This was an indirect investigation of the accessibility of cellulose to cellulase because the changes of a compartment after hydrolysis were a result from hydrolysis reaction. Although there was still inconclusive of the correlation among the saccharification extent, initial productive binding capacity of cellulose and the exiting of water in biomass, a potential to use the initial productive binding capacity of cellulose and water in biomass as indicators in predicting saccharification extent of biomass was further discussed.
