Potential Use of Rum Distillery Slops as Animal Feed Supplement. IV. Fodder Yeast Growth in Slops.

Experiments on fodder yeast growth in rum distillery slops showed best results in slops with added nutrients, 0.15% N as (NH4)2SO4 and 0.10% P as KH2PO4. More than 60% BOD reduction was obtained with a 24-h growth. Average yeast yield obtained was 10 g/L of dried yeast with a 32-40% protein content. The 1:1 slops-water dilution gave the best results.

Potential Use

The growth of different strains of Aspergilli used in this study was affected by changes in the pH of the slops. Best results were obtained at pH 4.8 or higher. The slops from two distilleries differed in composition, but this did not affect mold growth and did not alter consequent reductions of BOD and total sugars in the treated product. BOD reductions in diluted slops were higher (75%) than in undiluted slops (56%), increasing with slops dilution. Best results were obtained with a slops water dilution of 1:2.

Potential Use

Consideration of the nutritional value of slops suggested its use as growth media for the production of fodder molds. Rum distillery slops supported better mold growth than the medium recommended for its growth. Best results were obtained with strain Aspergillus phoenicis isolated from contaminated slops in our laboratory.

Potential Use

Rum distillery slops proved to be a valuable medium for the growth of molds rich in mycelial protein. High reductions of BOD and total sugar content of the medium were obtained. The nitrogen content of recovered slops decreased as mycelial yield increased, indicating that the mold utilizes nitrogen for its growth. Increases in the pH of the slops were observed in all growth experiments conducted. Two mold strains compared favorably with the control mold strain in comparative mold screening tests among 12 strains investigated. Variations in protein content of mycelia were observed among the different strains studied. BOD reductions of slops were found proportional to mycelial yields, 30-53% after eight days' growth with the best strains tested.

The most abundant aromatic biopolymer on earth Lignin is extremely recalcitrant to degradation. It creates a barrier to solutions or enzymes by linking to both hemicellulose and cellulose preventing the penetration of lignocellulolytic enzymes into the interior lignocellulosic structure. Global attention has been gained by fungi owing to the potential use of their versatile enzymes for agriculture, medicines, industries and bioremediation. The combination of extracellular ligninolytic enzymes, mediators, organic acids and accessory enzymes make some of the basidiomycete white-rot fungi to be able to degrade lignin efficiently. This review describes remediation of lignocelluloses by fungi, properties of fungi, their spatial distribution and the mechanisms of action which render them attractive candidates in biotechnological applications like biopulping, animal feed, genetic engineering and space exploration.
