AbstractThe search for new ethanol production technologies is due to this biofuel being a renewable and environmentally friendly option. Immobilized cell systems for ethanol production have been studied; however, the phenomenon involved in cell sorption on raw materials has been poorly explored. Therefore, this work evaluates P. stipitis immobilization on sugarcane bagasse pretreated with sulphuric acid, as well as ethanol production in batch culture. The results obtained showed that the Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model explained the sorption phenomenon. The selected inoculum size for immobilization was the same as the monolayer sorption capability (1.17 gl-1). Using 1:100 g ml- 1 solid-liquid ratio, at 250 rpm, ethanol yield and productivity of 0.404 gg-1 glucose and 0.41 gl-1h-1 were obtained, respectively. The immobilized systems were stable for up to twenty-five repeated batches (36 h each). Ethanol production was increased from the first to the twenty-fifth batch (18.1 and 24.7 gl-1 ethanol). The use of complex media, such as molasses “B” or sugarcane hydrolyzates, caused an increase in process efficiency 2.4 and 1.8-fold respectively, compared with free cells systems. Biotechnological ethanol production from lignocellulosic hydrolyzates could be improved by the use of the immobilization cell sorption on pre-treated raw materials.

Sugarcane bagasse is one of the main lignocellulosic raw materials used for the production of second-generation ethanol. Technological studies on fermentation processes have focused on the search for and development of more robust microorganisms that are able to produce bioethanol efficiently and are resistant to the main fermentation inhibitors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the robustness and ethanol production of industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using acid, alkaline, and enzymatic sugarcane bagasse hydrolysates. Hydrolysis was carried out to release fermentable sugars from sugarcane bagasse. Fermentations were performed in shake flasks containing sugarcane hydrolysates supplemented with 150 g L−1 glucose to evaluate the kinetic parameters of the reaction. Inhibitor tolerance was evaluated by incubating cells with different concentrations of inhibitors in 96-well plates. The biomass yield on substrate, ethanol yield on substrate, and ethanol productivity of the six strains were higher in 0.5% acid, 0.5% alkaline, and enzymatic hydrolysates (i.e., under milder conditions). The SA-1 (Santa Adélia-1) strain had a better performance in comparison with the other strains for its ability to produce ethanol in a very severe condition (7% acid hydrolysis) and for its robustness in growing at several inhibitor concentrations.

Trichoderma reeseican be considered as a candidate for consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) microorganism. However, its ethanol yield needs to be improved significantly. Here the ethanol production ofT. reeseiCICC 40360 was improved by genome shuffling while simultaneously enhancing the ethanol resistance. The initial mutant population was generated by nitrosoguanidine treatment of the spores, and an improved population producing more than fivefold ethanol than wild type was obtained by genome shuffling. The results show that the shuffled strain HJ48 can efficiently convert lignocellulosic sugars to ethanol under aerobic conditions. Furthermore, it was able to produce ethanol directly from sugarcane bagasse, demonstrating that the shuffled strain HJ48 is a suitable microorganism for consolidated bioprocessing.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y5 (CGMCC no. 2660) and Issatchenkia orientalis Y4 (CGMCC no. 2159) were combined individually with Pichia stipitis CBS6054 to establish the cocultures of Y5 + CBS6054 and Y4 + CBS6054. The coculture Y5 + CBS6054 effectively metabolized furfural and HMF and converted xylose and glucose mixture to ethanol with ethanol concentration of 16.6 g/L and ethanol yield of 0.46 g ethanol/g sugar, corresponding to 91.2% of the maximal theoretical value in synthetic medium. Accordingly, the nondetoxified dilute-acid hydrolysate was used to produce ethanol by co-culture Y5 + CBS6054. The co-culture consumed glucose along with furfural and HMF completely in 12 h, and all xylose within 96 h, resulting in a final ethanol concentration of 27.4 g/L and ethanol yield of 0.43 g ethanol/g sugar, corresponding to 85.1% of the maximal theoretical value. The results indicated that the co-culture of Y5 + CBS6054 was a satisfying combination for ethanol production from non-detoxified dilute-acid lignocellulosic hydrolysates. This co-culture showed a promising prospect for industrial application.

Ethanol is considered as the most promising alternative fuel, since it can be produced from a variety of agriculturally-based renewable materials, such as sugarcane bagasse. Lignocellulose as a major component of sugarcane bagasse is considered as an attractive renewable resource for ethanol production due to its great availability and relatively low cost. The major problem of lignocellulose is caused by its need for treatment to be hydrolyzed to simple sugar before being used for bioethanol production. However, pretreatment using acid as hydrolyzing agent creates some inhibitor compounds that reduce ethanol production because these compounds are potential fermentation inhibitors and affect the growth rate of the yeast. Reduction of these by-products requires a conditioning (detoxification and culture starter adaptation). Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate bioethanol production by fermentation with and without detoxified sugarcane bagasse acid hydrolysate using adapted and non-adapted culture of C. tropicalis. According to this study, the highest ethanol amount was obtained about 0.43 % (v/v) with an ethanol yield of 2.51 % and theoretical yield of 4.92 % by fermentation of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate with detoxification using the adapted strain of C. tropicalis at 72 hours fermentation time. Furthermore, the addition of 3 % glucose as co-substrate on detoxified-hydrolysate media only achieved the highest ethanol concentration 0.21 % after 24 hours fermentation with the ethanol yield 0.69 % and theoretical ethanol yield 1.35 %, thus it can be concluded that the addition of glucose could not increase the ethanol production.

This study was aimed to investigate the optimal condition of ethanol production that has 2 major stages: acid hydrolysis and fermentation processes. These processes came from low quality sweet potato (LQSP) which was destroyed by the sweet potato weevil. The main compositions of LQSP were starch and fiber which consist of 55.25 and 10.29 %, respectively. In this case, the starch can be hydrolyzed to reduce the sugar, followed by the fermentation of the reduced sugar to ethanol. For this experiment, the effecting factors on acid hydrolysis of LQSP and the ethanol fermentation condition were optimized by S. cerevisiae using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken design in order to maximize ethanol yield. It was found that the maximum reducing sugar concentration of 390.99 ± 5.35 g/L was obtained from the hydrolysis condition with 1 % (v/v) of sulfuric acid and 25 % (w/v) of LQSP. Accordingly, the effects of ammonium sulphate content (0.05 - 0.15 %), pH (4.5 - 5.5) and inoculum content (5 - 10 %) on ethanol production was determined by RSM using Box-Behnken experiment design with a total 17 sets of all trials. The results were found that the maximum experimental ethanol productivity of 5.98 g/L was obtained from the condition at 0.05 % of ammonium sulphate, pH 5.5 and 5.0 % of inoculum size to 90 mL LQSP based medium and incubated at 30 °C for 48 h. In addition, the scale-up of ethanol production was studied in 9 L fermenter which provided the maximum ethanol yield of 5.04 g/L. Therefore, it can be concluded that LQSP had a potential as a substrate for ethanol production.

The filamentous fungus strain Fusarium sp. ZW-21 was used for ethanol production with corncob hydrolysate. The fermentation conditions of ethanol production from corncob hydrolysate by the strain were investigated, and the effect of temperature, pH, nitrogen source, and surfactants on the ethanol production was investigated. The two factors yeast extract and polysorbate 80 were selected for further optimization by response surface methodology. The optimal conditions for ethanol production by the strain Fusarium sp. ZW-21 were 50 g/L sugar of corncob hydrolysate, 10.35 g/L yeast extract, 10 g/L KH2PO4, 0.5 g/L MgSO4·7H2O, 0.38 g/L polysorbate 80, pH 6.0, inoculum size of 1 mL/50 mL medium, and incubation temperature of 30 °C. The fermentation period was 5 d under oxygen-limited conditions, and the ethanol yield was 24.2 g/L.
