Abstract Hexanol–butanol–ethanol fermentation from syngas by Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 is a promising route for biofuel production. However, bacterial agglomeration in the culture of 37 °C severely hampers the accumulation of biomass and products. To investigate the effect of culture temperature on biomass growth and higher-alcohol production, C. carboxidivorans P7 was cultivated at both constant and two-step temperatures in the range from 25 to 37 °C. Meanwhile, Tween-80 and saponin were screened out from eight surfactants to alleviate agglomeration at 37 °C. The results showed that enhanced higher-alcohol production was contributed mainly by the application of two-step temperature culture rather than the addition of anti-agglomeration surfactants. Furthermore, comparative transcriptome revealed that although 37 °C promoted high expression of genes involved in the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway, genes encoding enzymes catalyzing acyl-condensation reactions associated with higher-alcohol production were highly expressed at 25 °C. This study gained greater insight into temperature-effect mechanism on syngas fermentation by C. carboxidivorans P7.

In the present study, four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains S. cerevisiae (NCIM 3200), S. cerevisiae (NCIM 3045), S. cerevisiae (baker′s yeast) and S. cerevisiae (EC1118) have been used and compared for their capability to ferment sugars from the juice of sugarcane (of variety CO 86032) for production of sugarcane wine. The growth pattern of each strain was studied followed by the fermentation at optimized conditions such as pH and temperature. The strains′ potential to produce sugarcane wine has been compared in terms of their sugar consumption, alcohol production, titrable acidity and volatile acidity production with respect to permissible amounts given by Indian Regulations. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (EC1118) performed better in fermentation among other compared Saccharomyces strains at the optimum temperature of 28 ºC, optimum pH 5, total soluble solids of 18 ºBrix and total sugar content of 185 g/L. Analysis of sugarcane wine fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (EC1118) has pH, 3.57, total alcohol content, 13.55 ± 1.77 %, titrable acidity, 8.30 ± 0.01 g/L and volatile acidity, 0.84 ± 0.00 g/L. The overall acceptability from sensory analysis supports the above physico-chemical analysis results of sugarcane wine.

Abstract Molasses, a by-product of the sugar manufacturing process, generally comprises approximately 50% (w/w) of total sugars, but it is currently used primarily [1] as an animal feed and as a raw material in alcohol production. Currently, the sugar production is more than 160 million tones worldwide. Its byproduct molasses contain heavy metals which have growthinhibitory effect. The main sugar content in molasses is sucrose which often need to be hydrolyzed to glucose and fructose especially for utilization by Lactobacillus species. Lactobacillus species can convert sugar content to lactic acid with great efficiency, which is a valuable chemical. Lactic acid production from sugar molasses using batch fermentations with Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus sp. MKT878 were investigated in this study. Results showed, that both examined Lactobacillus species could grow on molasses despite the heavy metals inhibitory effects. The conversion of sugar content to lactic acid was successful with yield between 55-80 g/g.

The purpose of this reseach was 1) to determine the effect of temperature and acid type on hydrolysis of taro yam starch on the characteristics of glucose, 2) to determine the exact temperature and type of acid in taro starch hydrolysis which produced the best glucose characteristics. This reseach uses Randomized Block Design of factorial pattern.. The first factor is the hydrolysis temperature of taro yam starch at temperatures of 80°C, 90°C and 100°C. The second factor is the acids type of HNO3, H2SO4 and HCl, each with 7% acid concentration. Each treatment is grouped into 2 based on the implementation time. The variables observed were reduction in sugar content, total sugar, dekstrose equivalent (DE), total dissolved solids and clarity. The results showed that the temperature treatment and acid type had a very significant effect (P<0,01) on reducing sugar content, total sugar and hydrolyzed dectrose equivalent (DE) values. Temperature treatment has a significant effect on total dissolved solids and does not significantly affect clarity. The treatment of acid types has significant effect on total dissolved solids and clarity. Temperature treatment and type of acid interact with reducing sugar content, total sugar, and DE values, do not interact with total dissolved solids and clarity. The highest yield was obtained by reducing sugar content of 3,06%, total sugar 5,64% and DE value of 54,24% in HCl at 100°C. The total dissolved solids in H2SO4 and HCl at 100°C were 5,15°Brix and the clarity of HCl at 100°C was 0,02. The best glucose characteristics at HCl was 90°C which was not significantly different from HCl at 100°C. Keywords: sugar, hydrolysis, taro yam, starch, acid, glucose


The relation of the rate of respiration to the concentration of sugars in the cell is a problem of great theoretical importance. There are some indications in the literature of the effect of high external concentrations of sugar in increasing the respiration, but no full study of the relation of respiration to the internal sugar concentration has yet been published. For the analysis of the effect of changing internal sugar concentration the potato is a most suitable material, since its excess of hydrolysable starch allows one to alter the sugar content by exposure to cold and so produce a range of sugar between 0.2 per cent. and 7.0 per cent. at will. Moreover it respiration (Muller-Thurgau, 1882 ; Hopkins, 1924 ; Bennett and Bartholomew, 1924).

Sugar Content in Spears Versus Asparagus YieldingThis research was focused on determination of the correlation between soluble sugar content in green asparagus (Asparagus officinalisL.) spears and yield. In 2000-2002, green spears of the cultivar 'Thielim' were cut every day from the end of April to the middle of June. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose content was determined every 10-14 days by means of an HPLC method. The content of fructose was not correlated but the ratio of fructose to glucose content was positively correlated with the yield (r=0.92). When the ratio of fructose to glucose content in spears increased by 0.13, the yield increased by about 1 t·ha-1. Content of glucose, sucrose and soluble sugar were negatively correlated with yield (r = -0.76 r = -0.77 and -0.79, respectively). When glucose, sucrose and soluble sugar content in spears decreased by 0.29 mg·g-1, 0.20 mg·g-1and 0.85 mg·g-1, respectively, the yield increased by about 1 t·ha-1. During the first twenty days of harvest the calculated amount of soluble sugar accumulated in harvested spears was correlated with the yield in the remaining harvest period as well as in the whole harvest season. The effect of temperature and solar radiation on the yield and sugar content in spears is discussed in the paper.

“Shuangyou,” a Vitis amurensis Rupr. variety, is widely cultivated in northeastern and western China. Its berries have high acidity and low sugar content. In this study, different proportions of sucrose were added to the must samples during fermentation to investigate the effect of sugar on the physicochemical properties and volatile compounds of “Shuangyou” wines. The addition of sucrose significantly improved yeast growth and alcohol production, altered the color qualities, and slightly decreased titratable acidity during fermentation. The highest tested proportion of added sucrose resulted in the highest maximum yeast counts and final ethanol concentrations. Moreover, 37 volatile compounds (esters, alcohols, fatty acids, ketones, and aldehydes) were identified and quantified by solid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The concentrations of these compounds were correlated with the addition of sucrose. Furthermore, the addition of 100 g/L sucrose was sufficient for improving the concentrations of the aromatic compounds. The increase in ester, alcohol, and fatty acid concentration led to a positive OAVs impact (odor activity value > 1) at the end of fermentation.

Maize seedlings were grown in nutrient solution under 18-h daylength and the temperatures of the root medium and of the growing points of the leaves were varied independently between 20 degrees and 5 degrees C; leaf growth rate and leaf water content were continuously recorded. The effect of root temperature on leaf growth was influenced by the plant water balance and was subject to osmotic adaptation which proceeded faster and was more complete at favourable growth temperatures.-G.M.H.
