The current study is an attempt to contribute for efficient and cost-effective substrates for xanthan gum production. In this context, the sugar cane molasses wastes can be used as a cheap substrate for xanthan gum production. Xanthan biopolymer production by a novel Xanthomonas campestris strain IBRC-M 10644 was optimized with statistical approaches. Based on the results ...

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

Rubber processing industry effluent represents a serious environmental pollution problem especially for underground and surface water. Wastewater collected from rubber processing industry was characterized for their pollution characteristics. Analysis showed that the biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), total s...

Sugar cane plantations have been expanding over a large area of the world for many centuries. During that time, sugar and several types of liquor, particularly rum, have been manufactured in huge quantities. In Brazil, about 300 million L of aguardente de cana are produced annually (Anon., 1953) by distilling fermented cane juice. Although the natural yeast flora of sugar cane juice may contrib...

Studies were carried out with Cunninghamella elegans UCP/WFCC 0542 to evaluate the effects of an abundant supply of amino acids, asparagine and corn steep liquor associated with sucrose on the production of biomass and chitosan by submerged fermentation. The concentrations of the components of the culture medium which were determined by a 2³ full factorial design evaluated the interactions and ...

T HREE switchback metabolism studies were conducted to study the effects of replacing corn with 5, 10 and 15% cane molasses. Five percent molasses had no significant effect on any of the parameters studied. At 10 and 15% molasses added at the expense of corn in the basal ration, nitrogen retention and apparent digestibility of dry matter and energy were all significantly improved (P< .05) . The...

Background The NYD medium (glucose, meat extract, yeast extract and peptone) is used for biomass production of some bacteria species that promote plant species growth [1-3]. The main carbon source present in this medium is the glucose that contributes a percentage of 25% to the medium price. An alternative to obtain a more accessible price for the medium is to replace the glucose by sources of ...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear polysaccharide with high molecular weight composed of disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid (GlcUA) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). HA is naturally present in vertebrate organisms, as well as in bacteria. HA can be obtained commercially through three routes: human umbilical cords, rooster combs, and strains of group C Streptococcus. This is a natural polysac...
