Abstract. produces laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) to selectively degrade lignin and can be used as a biological pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass to enhance ethanol production. Exogenous copper and manganese have been reported to increase production of laccase and MnP, respectively. The effects of supplementing copper, manganese, or glucose to switchgrass inoculated with on ligninolytic enzyme activity were evaluated. Solutions of copper, manganese, glucose, or water were added with and without fungal inoculum at 75% moisture for 40 d at 28°C. Ligninolytic enzyme activities and biomass compositions were determined after the pretreatments. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentations (SSF) were conducted with the pretreated biomass. There were no significant differences between the supplement solutions on laccase activity, but MnP activities in copper-treated samples were significantly reduced. Fungal-pretreated samples had significantly less glucan, xylan, and lignin recoveries and significantly greater extractable sugars than non-inoculated controls. Ethanol yields during SSF corresponded with lignin degradation in the fungal-inoculated samples. Water-treated (control solution), fungal-inoculated samples showed the greatest lignin degradation and ethanol yields, while the copper-treated, fungal-inoculated samples had the lowest lignin degradation and ethanol yield. Manganese-treated and glucose-treated, fungal-inoculated samples had similar intermediate lignin contents and ethanol yields. Ethanol yield during SSF was significantly increased by fungal pretreatment compared to no pretreatment. Water alone was more effective than the copper, manganese, and glucose solutions added to the fungal pretreatments.

Phanerochaete chrysosporium , Pycnoporus cinnabarinus ,and fungal isolates RCK-1 and RCK-3 were tested for their lignin degradation abilities when grown on wheat straw (WS) and Prosopis juliflora (PJ) under solid-state cultivation conditions. Fungal isolate RCK-1 degraded more lignin in WS (12.26% and 22.64%) and PJ (19.30% and 21.97%) and less holocellulose in WS (6.27% and 9.39%) and PJ (3.01% and 4.58%) after 10 and 20 days, respectively, than other fungi tested. Phanerochaete chrysosporium caused higher substrate mass loss and degraded more of holocellulosic content (WS: 55.67%; PJ: 48.89%) than lignin (WS: 18.89%; PJ: 20.20%) after 20 days. The fungal pretreatment of WS and PJ with a high-lignin-degrading and low-holocellulose-degrading fungus (fungal isolate RCK-1) for 10 days resulted in (i) reduction in acid load for hydrolysis of structural polysaccharides (from 3.5% to 2.5% in WS and from 4.5% to 2.5% in PJ), (ii) an increase in the release of fermentable sugars (from 30.27 to 40.82 g·L–1in WS and from 18.18 to 26.00 g·L–1in PJ), and (iii) a reduction in fermentation inhibitors (total phenolics) in acid hydrolysate of WS (from 1.31 to 0.63 g·L–1) and PJ (from 2.05 to 0.80 g·L–1). Ethanol yield and volumetric productivity from RCK-1-treated WS (0.48 g·g–1and 0.54 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) and PJ (0.46 g·g–1and 0.33 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) were higher than untreated WS (0.36 g·g–1and 0.30 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) and untreated PJ (0.42 g·g–1and 0.21 g·L–1·h–1, respectively).

Abstract Background Animal bedding remains an underutilized source of raw material for bioethanol production, despite the economic and environmental benefits of its use. Further research concerning the optimization of the production process is needed, as previously tested pretreatment methods have not increased the conversion efficiency to the levels necessary for commercialization of the process. Results We propose steam pretreatment of animal bedding, consisting of a mixture of straw and cow manure, to deliver higher ethanol yields. The temperature, residence time and pH were optimized through response-surface modeling, where pretreatment was evaluated based on the ethanol yield obtained through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of the whole pretreated slurry. The results show that the best conditions for steam pretreatment are 200 °C, for 5 min at pH 2, at which an ethanol yield of about 70% was obtained. Moreover, the model also showed that the pH had the greatest influence on the ethanol yield, followed by the temperature and then the residence time. Conclusions Based on these results, it appears that steam pretreatment could unlock the potential of animal bedding, as the same conversion efficiencies were achieved as for higher-quality feedstocks such as wheat straw.

Abstract. The white-rot fungus is capable of selectively degrading lignin over polymeric sugars. Solid-state cultivation and subsequent simultaneous saccharification and fermentation for ethanol production were performed. Effects of moisture content (MC) and fungus inoculum on biomass degradation, ligninolytic enzyme, and ethanol production were evaluated. First, fungal pretreatment was performed with varied MC and inoculum levels and sampled every 20 days. The highest xylose yield observed was 15.6% for samples with 75% MC and 5 mL inoculum at fungal pretreatment of 40 days. The highest lignin degradation of 52% and highest ethanol yield of 31% (based on the glucan present in the raw switchgrass) were achieved for 80-day fungal-treated samples with 75% MC and 5 mL inoculum.

The production of ethanol from cassava flour using Zymomonas mobilis a gram negative bacterium was conducted at 30oC, 33oC, 35oC and 37oC. The fermentation reaction was also carried out at different substrate concentrations; 5% W/V, 7% W/V and 10% W/V. The microorganism Zymomonas mobilis was detected in palm wine, isolated and identified. It was found to be gram negative, oxidase negative, catalase positive, anaerobic and plump rods with an unusual width. Results obtained from the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation reactions carried out with Zymomonas mobilis showed that maximum theoretical ethanol yield of 63% was obtained for 7% W/V cassava flour at 35oC. This was followed by a theoretical yield of 56.23 and 54.12 for 5% W/V and 10% W/V cassava flour, respectively. Fermentations at 30oC and 33 oC gave similar results with 7% W/V cassava producing higher ethanol yield when compared to 5% W/V and 10% W/V. Fermentation reactions at 37oC gave the lowest ethanol yields. The optimum pH for the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of cassava was found to be pH of 6.

Abstract Biological pretreatment was investigated to increase ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass, like sugarcane bagasse. Enzyme secretion, changes in substrate composition, enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol yield after pretreatment by different basidiomycetes were evaluated. Analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that P. pulmonarius PS2001 and T. villosa 82I6 promoted more extensive selective modifications in the lignin content. Glucose release during enzymatic hydrolysis of samples pretreated with P. pulmonarius PS2001 for 35, 42 and 49 days and with T. villosa 82I6 for 21, 28 and 49 days were higher than the control (48.5±2.38 mg/g), i.e. 68.4 ±0.7, 76.3 ±1.6 and 76.5±2.1 mg/g and 70.9±8.3, 77.8±5.8 and 77.6±4.2 mg/g, respectively. During the fermentation of hydrolysates of samples pretreated with T. villosa 82I6 for 28 and 49 days, a maximum ethanol yield of 19.1±2.8 and 20.2±0.5 mg/g, respectively, was achieved. A positive effect of biological pretreatment on hydrolysis and fermentation was demonstrated.

Rapid and high yield conversion of xylose to ethanol remains a signi cant bottleneck in the cost-effective production of ethanol using mixed sugars derived from lignocellulosic biomass (LBM). The present study attempts to circumvent this by separate continuous fermentation of glucose and xylose using high cell densities of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant (ICT-1) and a Scheffersomyces stipitis mutant (M1CD), respectively with the help of external micro ltration membrane assisted cell recycle. Different cell densities and aeration rates for xylose fermentation were studied for optimizing continuous fermentation. Consistent high ethanol yields and productivities of 0.46 g/g and 5.19 g/L/h with glucose; and 0.38 g/g and 1.62 g/L/h with xylose; were achieved in simple media. This provided an average ethanol yield of 0.44 g/g on combined sugars, and average productivity of 3.4 g/L/h which is higher than typical molasses-based batch ethanol fermentation. The study thus highlights the potential of high cell density recycle strategy as an effective approach for separate ethanol fermentation of LBM derived sugars.

Utilization of biomass for production of second generation bioethanol was considered as a way to reduce burdens of fossil fuel in Pakistan. The materials wheat straw, rice straw, cotton stalk, corn stover, and peel wastes were used in this experiment. Various parameters, such as acidic and alkali pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis by cellulases, and effect of proteases inhibitors on ethanol production, were examined. Fermentation was completed by the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Clostridium thermocellum separately, and their ethanol production were compared and maximum ethanol yield was obtained with wheat straw i.e.,11.3 g/L by S. cerevisiae and 8.5 g/L by C. thermocellum. Results indicated that a higher quantity of sugar was obtained from wheat straw (19.6 ± 1.6 g/L) followed by rice straw (17.6 ± 0.6 g/L) and corn stover (16.1 ± 0.9 g/L) compared to the other evaluated biomass samples. A higher yield of ethanol (11.3 g/L) was observed when a glucose concentration of 21.7 g/L was used, for which yeast fermentation efficiency was 92%. Results also revealed the increased in ethanol production (93%) by using celluases in combination with recombinant Serine protease inhibitors from C. thermocellum. It is expected that the use of recombinant serpins with cellulases will play a major role in the biofuel production by using agricultural biomass. This will also help in the economics of the biofuel.
