Ultrasound mediated enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose

A recombinant Trichoderma reesei cellulase was used for the ultrasound‐mediated hydrolysis of soluble carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and insoluble cellulose of various particle sizes. The hydrolysis was carried out at low intensity sonication (2.4–11.8 W cm^?2 sonication power at the tip of the sonotrode) using 10, 20, and 40% duty cycles. [A duty cycle of 10%, for example, was obtained by sonicating for 1 s followed by a rest period (no sonication) of 9 s.] The reaction pH and temperature were always 4.8 and 50°C, respectively. In all cases, sonication enhanced the rate of hydrolysis relative to nonsonicated controls. The hydrolysis of CMC was characterized by Michaelis‐Menten kinetics. The Michaelis‐Menten parameter of the maximum reaction rate V_max was enhanced by sonication relative to controls, but the value of the saturation constant K_m was reduced. The optimal sonication conditions were found to be a 10% duty cycle and a power intensity of 11.8 W cm^?2. Under these conditions, the maximum rate of hydrolysis of soluble CMC was nearly double relative to control. In the hydrolysis of cellulose, an increasing particle size reduced the rate of hydrolysis. At any fixed particle size, sonication at a 10% duty cycle and 11.8 W cm^?2 power intensity improved the rate of hydrolysis relative to control. Under the above mentioned optimal sonication conditions, the enzyme lost about 20% of its initial activity in 20 min. Sonication was useful in accelerating the enzyme catalyzed saccharification of cellulose. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 29:1448–1457, 2013

Effect of surfactants on cellulose hydrolysis

The effect of surfactants on the heterogeneous enzymatic hydrolysis of Sigmacell 100 cellulose and of steam-exploded wood was studied. Certain biosurfactants (sophorolipid, rhamnolipid, bacitracin) and Tween 80 increased the rate of hydrolysis of Sigmacell 100, as measured by the amount of reducing sugar produced, by as much as seven times. The hydrolysis of steam-exploded wood was increased by 67% in the presence of sophorolipid. At the same time, sophorolipid was found to decrease the amount of enzyme adsorbed onto the cellulose at equilibrium. Sophorolipid had the greatest effect on cellulose hydrolysis when it was present from the beginning of the experiment and when the enzyme/cellulose ratio was low.

Ethanol Production in Developed Countries

Abstract

A little over a year ago the author edited a textbook on alcohol production and titled it “Gasohol – Fuel Alcohol A Step to Energy Independence”.¹ Many changes have occurred since the concept for the textbook originated amidst the great euphoria of interest in alcohol in 1979 and 1980. It is, hence, very appropriate to perhaps review what has happened in the interim period.     

超临界CO2流体对纤维素酶催化反应的影响

超临界二氧化碳流体预处理对纤维素超分子结构及纤维素酶催化反应有重要影响。一定含水量的微晶纤维素用SC-CO2在10MPa,50℃处理30min,其结构发生了有利于进一步被酶解的变化。上述超临界条件单独作用于纤维素酶时,并未造成酶催化活力的降低;但与纤维素共同进行SC—CO2处理时,纤维素酶则失去催化活性,但这种处理却能提高纤维素进一步被酶解的效率。一定范围内处理时的酶用量与酶解效率的增加正相关。纤维素的含水量对SC-CO2处理后的酶解效率有显影响。

Chemical characteristics and ethanol fermentation of the cellulose component in autohydrolyzed bagasse

The chemical characteristics, enzymatic saccharification, and ethanol fermentation of autohydrolyzed lignocellulosic material that was exposed to steam explosion were investigated using bagasse as the sample. The effects of the steam explosion on the change in pH, organic acids production, degrees of polymerization and crystallinity of the cellulose component, and the amount of extractive components in the autohydrolyzated bagasse were examined. The steam explosion decreased the degree of polymerzation up to about 700 but increased the degree of crystallinity and the micelle width of the cellulose component in the bagasse. The steam explosion, at a pressure of 2.55 MPa for 3 mins, was the most effective for the delignification of bagasse. 40 g/L of glucose and 20 g/L of xylose were produced from 100 g/L of the autohydrolyzed bagasse by the enzymatic saccharification using mixed cellulases, acucelase and meicelase. The maximum ethanol concentration, 20 g/L, was obtained from the enzymatic hydrolyzate of 100 g/L of the autohydrolyzed bagasse by the ethanol fermentation usingPichia stipitis CBS 5773; the ethanol yield from sugars was 0.33 g/g sugars.
