β-Galactosidases from Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus isolated from artisanal ewes’ milk cheeses, were used to transgalactosylate lactose from cheese whey permeate (WP). The content of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) obtained by transgalactosylation was comparable with that formed using pure lactose as substrate. In order to obtain a mixture with higher prebiotic oligosaccharide content, isomerisation of the transgalactosylated WP was carried out using sodium aluminate as catalyst. The transgalactosylated mixtures at 6 h of reaction contained amounts of prebiotic carbohydrates (tagatose, lactulose, GOS and oligosaccharides derived from lactulose, OsLu) close to 50 g/100 g of total carbohydrates for all the strains tested, corresponding to 322 g prebiotics/kg whey permeate. Thus, the suitability of this methodology to produce mixtures of dietary non-digestible carbohydrates with prebiotic properties from WP has been demonstrated, which is interesting for the food industry since it increases the value and the applicability of this by-product from cheese manufacture.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to establish isobutanol production on chemically defined medium in Escherichia coli. By individually expressing each gene of the pathway, we constructed a plasmid library for isobutanol production. Strain screening on chemically defined medium showed successful production in the robust E. coli W strain, and expression vector IB 4 was selected as the most promising construct due to its high isobutanol yields and efficient substrate uptake. The investigation of different aeration strategies in combination with strain improvement and the implementation of a pulsed fed-batch were key for the development of an efficient production process. E. coli W ΔldhA ΔadhE Δpta ΔfrdA enabled aerobic isobutanol production at 38% of the theoretical maximum. Use of cheese whey as raw material resulted in longer process stability, which allowed production of 20 g l−1 isobutanol. Demonstrating isobutanol production on both chemically defined medium and a residual waste stream, this study provides valuable information for further development of industrially relevant isobutanol production processes.

The development of research for the production of biofuels using low cost substrate has become more relevant in recent years. These include reuse of residues such as crude residual glycerol from biodiesel (CRG) and cheese whey (CW) from the dairy industry. The present work evaluated the ethanol production by isolates of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus using agroindustrial residues as an alternative source of carbon. The cultures were rotated 100 rpm at 30 ° C for 24 h. The ethanol production was observed in both media, however, in the CW higher values of ethanol were observed in relation to the CRG. The results showed that K. marxianus isolates were adapted to the use of lactose present in cheese whey as a source of carbon for the production of ethanol with concentrations ranging from 11.41 to 19.9 g.L-1, but did not demonstrate efficiency in the use of crude glycerol for this purpose
