Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been an effective biodegradable plastic obtained by microbial fermentation. Batch fermentation of Bacillus subtilis features an attractive system for the production of PHB. Identification of appropriate media components and cultivation conditions are extremely important for the optimal production of biomass and/or PHB production. Statistical media design was utilized for the optimization of different fermentation variables (glucose, peptone, sodium chloride, K2HPO4, KH2PO4, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate, temperature, inoculum size, and pH). The optimized media predicted the optimal dry cell weight of 7.54?g?L?1 and PHB production of 77.2?mg?L?1 at 1?g?L?1 of peptone, 1.46?g?L?1 sodium sulfate, and pH 6.8 in 24?h. Glucose utilization, batch growth, and PHB production kinetics of B. subtilis were determined experimentally. The effect of substrate inhibition on specific growth rate was also determined experimentally for B. subtilis. The values of kinetic and substrate inhibition parameters obtained from this study shall be utilized to develop a mathematical model for PHB production for further improving the production of PHB. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB), produced by several species of bacteria, has attracted great attention as a biodegradable and biocompatible compound with similar properties to polypropylene. Unfortunately, its use is currently limited due to high production costs. One of the most common methods for overcoming this constraint is the use of inexpensive substrates, like methanol, in high cell density cultivations (HCDC). RESULTS: Fermentation was carried out with optimized feed composition (639 g l?1 methanol, 4 g l?1 MgSO4.7H2O, 41 mL L?1 trace elements, 5.6 g L?1 NaH2PO4.H2O and 24.3 g L?1 K2HPO4) and a feeding strategy based on the detection of substrate limitation by dissolved oxygen (DO). After 35 h, at which dry cell weight (DCW) reached a value of 70 g L?1, PHB production was stimulated, and biomass and PHB productivities of 2.8 and 0.98 g L?1 h?1 were obtained, respectively. These results surpassed those reported in the literature for PHB production from methanol by Methylobacterium species. CONCLUSION: The proposed feed composition and feeding strategy for PHB production from methanol by Methylobacterium extorquens 1340 in fed‐batch cultivation resulted in high biomass and PHB productivity. They can be implemented for recombinant bioproducts (proteins) produced by M. extorquens due to the lack of PHB accumulation in the growth phase. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Barley straw is a potential lignocellulosic biomass for the production of bioethanol because of its high cellulose and hemicelluloses content. Ethanosolv pretreatment catalyzed with inorganic acids has some undesirable effects, and thus, inorganic salts, such as FeCl3, were studied as the catalyst in order to enhance enzymatic digestibility. RESULTS: The addition of 0.1 mol L?1 FeCl3 (Iron(III) chloride) had a particularly strong effect on the enzymatic digestibility, reaching a value as high as 89%, with cellulose recovery as high as 90% after the ethanosolv pretreatment. The enzymatic digestibility was 89% and 55% after the addition of 0.1 mol L?1 FeCl3 and H2SO4 (adjusted to the same pH), respectively. The enzymatic hydrolysis rate was significantly accelerated as the ethanosolv temperature increased, reaching the highest enzymatic digestibility of 89% after 72 h at 170 °C. The concentrations of HMF(5‐hydroxy‐2‐ methyl furfural) and furfural were 0.011 and 0.148 g L?1 in the hydrolysate during FeCl3‐ethanosolv treatment, which were lower than the concentrations quantified during H2SO4‐ethanosolv treatment. After the pretreatment, 88.5% of FeCl3 was removed through the filtration process. CONCLUSION: The addition of several inorganic salts significantly accelerated enzymatic digestibility in the ethanosolv. FeCl3 had a particularly strong effect on enzymatic digestibility and cellulose recovery. The formation of HMF and furfural and the remaining amount of FeCl3 were investigated, and FeCl3 had no effect on the subsequent processes after pretreatment.

BACKGROUND: Flocculation, adsorption and ultrafiltration, alone and in combination, were tested for tertiary treatment of Beer Sheva (southern Israel) municipal wastewater. The focus was on the adsorption of soluble organics with powdered activated carbon (PAC) and with organoclays. RESULTS: Adsorption on 0.6 g L?1 octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (ODTMA) ‐ bentonite and flocculation with 130 mg L?1 FeCl3 reduced the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) level by 46%, and that was the highest DOC retention obtained with the organoclays. Retention achieved with 0.6 g L?1 PAC and 130 mg L?1 FeCl3 was 65%. Filtration through a more hydrophobic PVDF‐30 membrane for 30 min resulted in 35–40% flux drop. A reasonable 6–7% flux reduction was obtained with filtration through a more hydrophilic PS‐50 membrane. CONCLUSION: Oganoclays at low doses are a good target adsorbent for single low molecular weight molecules. On average, higher TOC retention was achieved with PAC. Introduction of adsorption as a pre‐treatment step can lead to minimization of flux losses, reduced demand for flocculation and improved economics of the entire treatment.

BACKGROUND: The bioconversion of soysterols to androstenedione (AD) by microbial cleavage of C‐17 side chain is of practical interest since AD serves as the starting compound for the production of the majority of pharmaceutically active steroids. A total soysterols degrader strain was subjected to combined mitomycin C and UV treatments and a mutant designated Mycobacterium fortuitum subsp. fortuitum NCIM 5239 was isolated that accumulated AD as major bioconversion product. RESULTS: The maximum bioconversion of soysterols to AD (71.3 mol %) was obtained at 30 °C, pH 5, 15% inoculum grown for 48 h, glycerol (12.68 g L?1) and urea (1.06 g L?1) as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, at C:N ratio of 10, the use of 10% polypropylene glycol‐400 (PPG‐400) as soysterols carrier solvent and 3 mg mL?1 concentration of soysterols after 240 h incubation period in shake flask culture. In a laboratory scale fermentor, a maximum of 64.8 mol % bioconversion of soysterols to AD was recorded after 99 h. CONCLUSION: The mutant Mycobacterium fortuitum subsp. fortuitum NCIM 5239 possesses high potential for industrial production of AD from soysterols. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Current ethanol production processes using crops such as corn and sugar cane are well established. However, the utilization of cheaper biomasses such as lignocellulose could make bioethanol more competitive with fossil fuels while avoiding the ethical concerns associated with using potential food resources. RESULTS: Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), a lignocellulosic biomass, was pretreated using NaOH to produce bioethanol. The pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis conditions were evaluated by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions were found to be 127.64 °C, 22.08 min, and 2.89 mol L?1 for temperature, reaction time, and NaOH concentration, respectively. Regarding enzymatic digestibility, 50 FPU g?1 cellulose of cellulase was selected as the test concentration, resulting in a total glucose conversion rate (TGCR) of 86.37% using the Changhae Ethanol Multi Explosion (CHEMEX) facility. Fermentation of pretreated OPEFB using Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in an ethanol concentration of 48.54 g L?1 at 20% (w/v) pretreated biomass loading, along with simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes. Overall, 410.48 g of ethanol were produced from 3 kg of raw OPEFB in a single run, using the CHEMEX_50 L reactor. CONCLUSION: The results presented here constitute a significant contribution to the production of bioethanol from OPEFB. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This paper reports the results of an experimental campaign of autotrophic cultures of Stichococcus strains aiming at selecting the most promising strain for biofuel production. The strain selected—S. bacillaris 158/11—was cultivated in 1 L lab‐scale bubble column photobioreactors under fed‐batch and semi‐continuous conditions. A Bold basal medium supplemented with NaNO3 as nitrogen source was adopted. Tests were carried out at 23 °C, 140 µE m?2 s?1, and air flow rate ranging between 0.4 and 4 vvm. Cultures were characterized in terms of pH, concentration of total nitrogen, total organic carbon, total inorganic carbon, biomass, lipid fraction and methyl‐ester distribution of transesterified lipids. RESULTS: S. bacillaris 158/11 proved to be the best strain to produce biodiesel. Methyl‐ester distribution was characterized by a large fraction of methyl palmitate, methyl linolenate, methyl linoleate, and methyl oleate along with phytol. The process photosynthetic efficiency—fraction of available light stored as chemical energy ‐ was about 1.5%. Specific biomass productivity was ~60 mgDM L?1 day?1 under the semi‐continuous conditions tested. Total lipid productivity was 14 mg L?1 day?1 at a dilution rate of 0.050 L day?1. CONCLUSION: S. bacillaris 158/11 is a potential strain for massive microalgae cultures for biofuel production. Higher biomass/total‐lipid productivity could be obtained in sunlight.

BACKGROUND: Owing to more stringent phosphate discharge requirements and the increasing prices of fertilizers, beneficial recovery and reuse of phosphate from industrial anaerobic effluents is becoming an important issue. Phosphate recovery by struvite or magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) permits its recycling in the fertilizer industry because struvite is a valuable slow release fertilizer. Two different approaches to MAP crystallization depending on initial levels of phosphate in the wastewaters were tested and compared. RESULTS: For low‐phosphate‐containing anaerobic effluents (<30 mg PO43?‐P L?1), a novel approach using ureolytic induced MAP formation with MgO addition appeared to be suitable. The residual phosphate concentrations in the effluent ranged from 5 to 7 mg PO43?‐P L?1 and the separated matter contained residual amounts of Mg(OH)2. High‐phosphate‐containing anaerobic effluents (100 to 120 mg PO43?‐P L?1) were treated efficiently using air stripping combined with MgCl2 and NaOH reagents, yielding residual phosphate levels of 8 to 15 mg PO43?‐P L?1 and spherical pure MAP crystals of 0.5 to 2 mm. CONCLUSION: Results show that depending on the initial phosphate concentrations in the wastewaters and the ammonium and magnesium levels, the strategy selected for struvite crystallization is a determinative factor in achieving a cost effective technology.

BACKGROUND: Poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation is triggered by limitation of a nutrient other than carbon. The production cost of PHB is very high. In order to reduce this cost, continuous cultivation for the accumulation of PHB was investigated. The culture was first allowed to grow under fed‐batch conditions to yield a significant increase in biomass and PHB accumulation. Thereafter this high‐cell‐density biomass containing PHB was allowed to grow and maintained under conditions of continuous cultivation so that the overall process could be simplified and economised. RESULTS: For continuous cultivation a medium containing 90 g L?1 fructose and 2.5 g L?1 nitrogen (as urea) was fed continuously at a dilution rate of 0.1 h?1. A steady state biomass of 27.7 g L?1 with a PHB concentration of 5.5 g L?1 was established in the bioreactor. This resulted in a continuous PHB productivity of 0.55 g L?1 h?1. CONCLUSION: The experiments have resulted in the development of a novel production technology involving the integration of batch, fed‐batch and continuous processes. At the same time the production of PHB under continuous cultivation increases the overall industrial importance of the system. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were optimization of silver nanoparticle synthesis using biotransformations by Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei, and studying the location of nanoparticles synthesis in this microorganism. RESULTS: The presence of AgNO3 (0.1 mmol L?1) in the culture as the enzyme inducer, and glucose (56 mmol L?1) as the electron donor in the reaction mixture had positive effects on nanoparticle production. By gradually increasing the concentration of AgNO3 (as the substrate) to 6 mmol L?1, nanoparticle production was increased. By increasing biomass, nanoparticles production was also increased. Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were almost spherical, single (25–50 nm) or in aggregates (100 nm), attached to the surface of biomass or were inside and outside of the cells. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated the bioreductive synthesis of silver nanoparticles using L. casei subsp. casei at room temperature. In this research, and due to experience in optimization of biotransformation reactions, the reaction conditions were successfully optimized to increase the yield of nanoparticles production and productivity of this biosynthetic approach.

BACKGROUND: The organosolv pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated material and subsequent fermentation of the hydrolysate produced, was the strategy used for ethanol production from sugarcane bagasse. The effect of different operational variables affecting the pretreatment (the catalyst type and its concentration, and the pretreatment time) and enzymatic hydrolysis stage (substrate concentration, cellulase loading, addition of xylanase and Tween 20, and the cellulase/β‐glucosidase ratio), were investigated. RESULTS: The best values of glucose concentration (28.8 g L?1) and yield (25.1 g per 100 g dry matter) were obtained when the material was pretreated with 1.25% (w/w) H2SO4 for 60 min, and subsequently hydrolyzed using 10% (w/v) substrate concentration in a reaction medium supplemented with xylanase (300 UI g?1) and Tween 20 (2.5% w/w). Fermentation of the broth obtained under these optimum conditions by Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in an ethanol yield of 92.8% based on the theoretical yield, after 24 h. CONCLUSION: Organosolv pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse under soft conditions, and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated material with a cellulolytic system supplemented with xylanase and Tween 20, is a suitable procedure to obtain a glucose rich hydrolysate efficiently fermentable to ethanol by Sacharomyces cerevisiae yeasts.

The aim of the present study was to improve the anaerobic biodegradability of waste-activated sludge by using ozonation. The effect of different ozone doses was assessed in terms of biogas production, maximum biogas production rate, and concentration of amino acids and long-chain fatty acids in the waste-activated sludge. Four different doses were used: 0.043 gO3 gTSS?1, 0.063 gO3 gTSS?1, 0.080 gO3 gTSS?1, and 0.100 gO3 gTSS?1. The lower doses resulted in biogas production increases and a higher maximum biogas production rate in the anaerobic digestion of waste-activated sludge, while the contrary occurred at higher doses. The amino acids and long-chain fatty acids concentrations decreased when the ozone dose increased. The correlation with the ozone dose was nonlinear for amino acids and linear for long-chain fatty acids. The reaction products of long-chain fatty acids (aldehydes) are proposed as the cause of inhibition observed in the anaerobic digestion of waste-activated sludge treated with higher ozone doses. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Succinic acid is an important precursor of numerous products, including pharmaceuticals, feed additives, green solvents, and biodegradable polymers. In this work, strategies of pH control and glucose‐fed batch fermentation for producing succinic acid using Actinobacillus succinogenes CGMCC1593 were carefully optimized. RESULTS: The production of succinic acid was stable within the pH range 6.0–7.2. Both cell growth and succinic acid production were inhibited by high concentrations of sodium and calcium ions, while there was no significant inhibition by magnesium ions. With an initial glucose concentration of 25 g L?1, and glucose concentration was maintained between 10 and 15 g L?1 during the course of fed batch fermentation, succinic acid concentration, productivity and yield were 60.2 g L?1, 1.3 g L?1 h?1 and 75.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Of all the neutralization reagents used for pH control of A. succinogenes CGMCC1593, solid MgCO3 was the most satisfactory. With increase of initial glucose concentration, the time course showed a longer growth lag period and the maximum biomass declined, while more carbon was diverted to succinate synthesis. The results obtained in this study should be helpful for the design of a highly efficient succinic acid production process. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Vanillic acid is a flavoring agent and also serves as precursor for vanillin production. Culture medium and fermentation condition for the single step production of vanillic acid from Phanerochaete chrysosporium using lignocellulosic waste as a substrate under solid state fermentation (SSF) were optimized using response surface methodology. RESULTS: The process parameters were chosen by borrowing methodology, and L‐asparagine, pH and moisture content of the solid medium during SSF were identified as the most significant variables. The optimum value of selected variable and their mutual interactions were determined by response surface methodology. The result demonstrated that a yield of 73.58 mg vanillic acid g?1 substate was predicted under optimum conditions (L‐asparagine 5.98 mmol L?1 (2.37 mg g?1 groundnut shell), pH of solid medium 4.51 and moisture content 74.83%). The predicted response was experimentally validated and resulted in a maximum vanillic acid yield of 73.69 mg g?1 after 8 days of SSF. CONCLUSION: The optimization of fermentation variables resulted in a maximum 10‐fold increase in vanillic acid yield compared with that observed under sub‐optimal conditions (from 7.2 mg g?1 to 73.69 mg g?1).

BACKGROUND: Biosurfactant production was investigated using two strains of Bacillus subtilis, one being a reference strain (B. subtilis 1012) and the other a recombinant of this (B. subtilis W1012) made able to produce the green fluorescent protein (GFP). RESULTS: Batch cultivations carried out at different initial levels of glucose (G0) in the presence of 10 g L?1 casein demonstrated that the reference strain was able to release higher levels of biosurfactants in the medium at 5.0≤G0≤10 g L?1 (Bmax = 104–110 mg L?1). The recombinant strain exhibited slightly lower levels of biosurfactants (Bmax = 90–104 mg L?1) but only at higher glucose concentrations (G0 ≥ 20 g L?1). Under these nutritional conditions, the fluorescence intensity linked to the production of GFP was shown to be associated with the cell concentration even after achievement of the stationary phase. CONCLUSION: The ability of the genetically‐modified strain to simultaneously overproduce biosurfactant and GFP even at low biomass concentration makes it an interesting candidate for use as a biological indicator to monitor indirectly the biosurfactant production in bioremediation treatments.

A new effluent treatment scheme is proposed for treating palm oil mill effluent based on coagulation and anaerobic digestion of coagulated sludge. The effectiveness of anionic (N9901) and cationic (N9907) polyelectrolytes manufactured by NALCO (Malaysia) was evaluated both as coagulant and coagulant aid. The results showed that the anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes were best suited as a coagulant aid, and the cationic polyelectrolyte showed better performance than the anionic polyelectrolyte. For an influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of 59 700 mg L?1 at an alum dosage of 1700 mg L?1, the residual COD, suspended solid removal, sludge volume and pH were found to be 39 665 mg L?1, 87%, 260 mL L?1 and 6.3, respectively. For the above influent COD and alum dosage with the addition of 2 mg L?1 of cationic polyelectrolyte as coagulant aid, the results were 30 870 mg L?1, 90%, 240 mL L?1 and 6.2, respectively. The sludge resulting from the coagulation process using alum as coagulant and cationic polyelectrolyte as coagulant aid was tested for its digestibility in an anaerobic digester. The quantity of biogas generated per gram of volatile solids (VS) destroyed at a loading rate of 26.7 ± 0.5 and 35.2 ± 0.4 g VS L?1 d?1 was found to be 0.68 and 0.72 L g?1 VS destroyed. The anaerobic biomass when subjected to varying alum dosage in the coagulated palm oil sludge did not exhibit inhibition as the digester performance was in conformity with the regular treatment process Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel conventionally prepared by transesterification of pre‐extracted vegetable oils and animal fats of all resources with methanol, catalyzed by strong acids or bases. This paper reports on a novel biodiesel production method that features acid‐promoted direct methanolysis of cellular biomass of oleaginous yeasts and filamentous fungi. The process was optimized for tuning operation parameters, such as methanol dosage, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature and time. Up to 98% yield was reached with reaction conditions of 70 °C, under ambient pressure for 20 h and a dried biomass to methanol ratio 1:20 (w/v) catalyzed by either 0.2 mol L?1 H2SO4 or 0.4 mol L?1 HCl. Cetane numbers for these products were estimated to range from 56 to 59. This integrated method is thus effective and technically attractive, as dried microbial biomass as feedstocks omits otherwise tedious and time‐consuming oil extraction processes.

Biogas production from sugarcane waste has large potential for energy generation, however, to enable the optimization of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process each substrate characteristic should be carefully evaluated. In this study, the kinetic challenges for biogas production from different types of sugarcane waste were assessed. Samples of vinasse, filter cake, bagasse, and straw were analyzed in terms of total and volatile solids, chemical oxygen demand, macronutrients, trace elements, and nutritional value. Biochemical methane potential assays were performed to evaluate the energy potential of the substrates according to different types of sugarcane plants. Methane yields varied considerably (5–181 Nm3·tonFM−1), mainly due to the different substrate characteristics and sugar and/or ethanol production processes. Therefore, for the optimization of AD on a large-scale, continuous stirred-tank reactor with long hydraulic retention times (>35 days) should be used for biogas production from bagasse and straw, coupled with pre-treatment process to enhance the degradation of the fibrous carbohydrates. Biomass immobilization systems are recommended in case vinasse is used as substrate, due to its low solid content, while filter cake could complement the biogas production from vinasse during the sugarcane offseason, providing a higher utilization of the biogas system during the entire year. 相似文献

A fluidized bed bioreactor (FBBR) was operated for more than 575 days to remove 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol (TCP) and phenol (Phe) from a synthetic toxic wastewater containing 80 mg L?1 of TCP and 20 mg L?1 of Phe under two regimes: Methanogenic (M) and Partially‐Aerated Methanogenic (PAM). The mesophilic, laboratory‐scale FBBR consisted of a glass column (3 L capacity) loaded with 1 L of 1 mm diameter granular activated carbon colonized by an anaerobic consortium. Sucrose (1 g COD L?1) was used as co‐substrate in the two conditions. The hydraulic residence time was kept constant at 1 day. Both conditions showed similar TCP and Phe removal (99.9 + %); nevertheless, in the Methanogenic regime, the accumulation of 4‐chlorophenol (4CP) up to 16 mg L?1 and phenol up to 4 mg L?1 was observed, whereas in PAM conditions 4CP and other intermediates were not detected. The specific methanogenic activity of biomass decreased from 1.01 ± 0.14 in M conditions to 0.19 ± 0.06 mmolCH4 h?1 gTKN?1 in PAM conditions whereas the specific oxygen uptake rate increased from 0.039 ± 0.008 in M conditions to 0.054 ± 0.012 mmolO2 h?1 gTKN?1, which suggested the co‐existence of both methanogenic archaea and aerobic bacteria in the undefined consortium. The advantage of the PAM condition over the M regime is that it provides for the thorough removal of less‐substituted chlorophenols produced by the reductive dehalogenation of TCP rather than the removal of the parent compound itself.
