Phragmites australis straw (PAS) is an abundant and renewable wetland lignocellulose. Bacillus coagulans IPE22 is a robust thermophilic strain with pentose-utilizing capability and excellent resistance to growth inhibitors. This work is focused on the process study of lactic acid (LA) production from P. australis lignocellulose which has not been attempted previously. By virtue of thermophilic feature of strain IPE22, two fermentation processes (i.e., separated process and integrated process), were developed and compared under non-sterilized conditions. The integrated process combined dilute-acid pretreatment, hemicellulosic hydrolysates fermentation, and cellulose utilization. Sugars derived from hemicellulosic hydrolysates and cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis were efficiently fermented to LA in a single vessel. Using the integrated process, 41.06 g LA was produced from 100 g dry PAS. The established integrated process results in great savings in terms of time and labor, and the fermentation process under non-sterilized conditions is easy to scale up for economical production of lactic acid from PAS.

Abstract The efficient conversion of hemicellulose and cellulose in lignocellulosic biomass to reducing sugars remains as one major challenge for the development of biorefinery. In this work, corncob saccharification in the aqueous phase was realized efficiently via pretreatment by magnetic carbon-based solid acid (MMCSA) catalyst, combined with the subsequent in situ enzymatic hydrolysis (occurring in the same pretreatment system after MMCSA separation). Under the optimized pretreatment conditions (the ratio of corncob, catalyst and water is 1:1:20 (g:g:mL), 160°C for 20 min) and in situ enzymatic hydrolysis (cellulase loading of 20 FPU / g, 24 h), an xylose yield of 88.77% and an enzymatic digestibility of 91.24% were obtained, respectively. Compared with the traditional enzymatic process, the present in situ enzymatic system has advantages of reduced enzyme loading, water consumption, and improved saccharification efficiency. Thus, this study provides a more sustainable and effective method for the saccharification of hemicellulose and cellulose in the corncob to produce reducing sugars.
