Simultaneous saccharification and fermertation (SSF) were studied to produce ethanol from corn stover, which include three continuous stages, stover pretreatment, cellulose fermentation, and ethanol production. Firstly, the crude was treated by propionic acid, and the disposal rate of lignin and hemicellulose in corn stover was 60.6%, 98.5%, respectively, with a residual rate of cellulose 90.68%. Then, cellulase production was carried out byTrichoderma reeseiRut C-30. 10% stillage and other nutrition were added to the pretreated corn stover, water moisture and initial pH were adjusted to 70% and 4.8, liquid inoculum was (1.7~2.0)×107spore/g stover. The stover was kept under 30°C for 7d, then mixed with equal pretreated stover. Ratio of water was 2, the inoculum was 3.2×107cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)/g substrate, After incubated at 36°C for 72h, the SSF process achieved a yield of ethanol (0.326g/g substrate).

Fractionation of corn stover (CS) was carried out by bisulfite pretreatment in order to improve the production of bioethanol and high-value chemicals. Firstly, the optimum bisulfite pretreatment conditions of CS (170 C, 30 min, 7% NaHSO3, 1% H2SO4) were identified. Next, a biorefinery process of bisulfite pretreatment for CS was proposed. CS was separated into solid and liquor components using such pretreatment. The solid components were employed for bioethanol production by quasi-simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (Q-SSF). The bisulfite liquor was fractionated into hemicellulosic sugars and lignin by different types of resins. It was shown that CS components could be effectively fractionated through bisulfite pretreatment in combination with resin separation to produce bioethanol, hemicellulosic sugars, and lignosulfonate.

Cellulase enzyme is a complex enzyme which catalyzes the degradation of cellulose. The use of cellulase enzyme on the pretreatment of cassava powder to produce ethanol before saccharified and fermented simultaneously have done in order to destroy most of the cell wall which comprise mostly of cellulose so more starch grain were availabe from the cell. The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process were carried out at 30°C and at pH of5 with 0,632 unit/g of rice brand koji as glucoamylase and 2,6x107cell/gsubstrate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The result showed that, the SSF process gave higher ethanol conversion from starch in cassava powder when the substrate had been pre-treated with cellulase enzyme. Ethanol was obtained with the conversion of 48,6% from starch in cassava powder with 9,88%(wt) in concentration bypreviously soaking the cassava powder in 5% v/v cellulase enzymesfor 7 days before SSF process carried out. Ethanol was obtained with the conversion of 42,07% from raw cassava starch and 7,8%(wt) in concentration by carried out SSF process with 75% v/v cellulase enzymes directly. While the SSF process without ellulase enzvmes only gave 5,6%(wt) of ethanol with 25% conversion.Keywords: Cellulase, SFS, Cassava Starch, Conversion, Ethanol Abstrak Enzim selulase merupakan kompleks enzim yang dapat mengkatalisis penguraian selulosa. Penggunaan enzim selulase pada  tepung singkong  melalui proses sakarifikasi fermentasi secara simultan diharapkan dapat merusak sebagian besar dinding sel singkong yang masih utuh yang tersusun dari selulosa sehingga membebaskan lebih banyak pati dari dalam sel. Usaha ini dilakukan untuk  meningkatkan konversi etanol dari tepung singkong melalui proses sakarifikasi dan fermentasi simultan. Proses produksi etanol melalui proses sakarifikasi dan fermentasi simultan (SFS) dilakukan dengan komposisi tepung singkong 20%(b/b), kadar  air medium SFS 80%, pH  5 dan temperatur 30°C. Aktifitas glukoamilase yang digunakan adalah 0,632 unit/gTSK dan jumlah ragi Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2,6x107 sel/gTSK. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan produksi etanol pada SFS dengan perendaman selulase sebesar 5%(v/v) (0,63 UA/gTSK) terlebih dulu selama 7 hari, akan meningkatkan konversi etanol dari tepung singkong hingga 48,6% dengan kadar etanol 9,88%(blb). Konversi etanol dari tepung singkong pada SFS dengan penambahan langsung enzim selulase sebesar 75%(v/v) (8,37 UA/gTSK) tanpa direndam terlebih dulu, adalah 42,07% dengan kadar etanol 7,8%(b/b). Sedangkan pad a SFS tanpa penambahan selulase sam a sekali, hanya diperoleh konversi etanol dari tepung singkong sebesar 25% dengan kadar etanol 5,6%(b/b) .Kata Kunci: Selulase, SFS, Tepung Singkong, Konversi, Etanol

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of incubation temperature towards the growth of Acetobacter xylinum 0416 and the production of bacterial cellulose. Fermentation of A.xylinum 0416 were carried out for 5 days in static condition using Hestrin & Schramm (HS) medium with initial glucose concentration of 4.0% (w/v) and initial pH of 6.4. The incubation temperature were varied at 5°C, 20°C, 25°C, 27°C, 28°C, 30°C, 35°C and 40°C respectively. Results indicated that 28°C served as the best incubation temperature for the growth of A.xylinum 0416 and produced the highest amount of bacterial cellulose with total dried weight of 0.3722 g/l. Meanwhile at incubation temperature of 5°C and 40°C, no significant growth of A.xylinum 0416 and bacterial cellulose were obtained. As a conclusion, incubation temperature plays an important role for the growth of A.xylinum 0416. The best incubation temperature is at 28°C in which the sufficient energy will be provided for bacterial growth thus enhancing the cellulose biosynthetic pathway in order to convert glucose into bacterial cellulose.
