Comparison of yeast growth in mesquite wood hydrolysate.
نویسنده
چکیده
Hot-water extracts of mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) wood were assayed for their total carbohydrate, reducing sugar, and glucose content. These hydrolysates were then used as complete media for yeast growth. A total of 10 strains of yeasts were evaluated for their biomass production in the mesquite wood hydrolysates. Levels of utilizable carbohydrate proved to be the limiting factor for yeast growth in the hydrolysates.

Single-cell protein production in alkaline mesquite wood extracts.
A nine-member, mixed, cellulolytic, bacterial culture was used to evaluate the effects of sodium hydroxide normality, length and temperature of treatment, and the ratio of volume of alkali to mesquite wood on the suitability of alkali mesquite wood extractives as nutrients for bacterial growth. The presence or absence of air during the extraction process did not significantly affect results. Th...
متن کاملSelective suppression of bacterial contaminants by process conditions during lignocellulose based yeast fermentations
BACKGROUND Contamination of bacteria in large-scale yeast fermentations is a serious problem and a threat to the development of successful biofuel production plants. Huge research efforts have been spent in order to solve this problem, but additional ways must still be found to keep bacterial contaminants from thriving in these environments. The aim of this project was to develop process condit...
متن کاملEffects of Ultrasonic and High-Pressure Homogenization Pretreatment on the Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Antioxidant Activity of Yeast Protein Hydrolysate
Protein hydrolysate is highly regarded as a source of naturally occurring antioxidant peptides. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ultrasonic (Frequency, 20 KHz; Amplitude, 50%; Time, 30 min) and high-pressure homogenization (Power, 1500 bar; Rated flow, 10 dm/h) pretreatmenton the enzymatic hydrolysis and antioxidant properties of yeast protein hydrolysate obtained from...
متن کاملEffect of Enzymatic Beech Fagus Sylvatica Wood Hydrolysate on Chlorella Biomass, Fatty Acid and Pigment Production
This work evaluates the possibility of applying enzymatic beech wood (Fagus sylvatica) hydrolysate as a feedstock for Chlorella sorokiniana growth, and fatty acid and pigment production. Beech wood solids were pretreated with NaOH at high temperature to partially remove xylose and Klason lignin, and enable production of glucose during subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Neutralized wood enzymatic ...
متن کاملFacultative wood-digesting bacteria from the hind-gut of the termite Reticulitermes hesperus.
Among the facultative bacteria capable of growth on mesquite wood which were isolated from the asceptically dissected hind-gut of the termite Reticulitermes hesperus were two strains of Bacillus cereus, one strain each of Arthrobacter, Alcaligenes and Serratia, and a very small Gram-negative fermentative rod. The B. cereus strains, the Serratia marcescens strain and the Arthrobacter sp. grew we...
