An approach is presented for obtaining relative filter paper activities for enzyme preparations having activities below that required for application of the traditional International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry filter paper assay. The approach involves the utilization of protein stabilizers to retard the time-dependent enzyme inactivation that may occur under traditional filter paper assay conditions. Enzyme stabilization allows extended reaction times and the calculation of relative activities based on the time required for saccharification of 3.6% of the traditional substrate, making results proportional to those obtained in the traditional International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry assay. The assay is demonstrated using a commercial cellulase preparation along with KCl and bovine serum albumin as protein stabilizers. 相似文献

Water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes), an aquatic weed common to the subtropic/tropical regions, was utilized as an inexpensive lignocellulosic substrate for
production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei. The effects of process parameters like substrate pretreatment, substrate concentration, initial medium pH, mode of inoculation,
and incubation temperature on cellulase production were investigated. Under optimal conditions, a maximal cellulase activity
of 0.22 ± 0.04 IU/ml (approximately 73.3 IU/g cellulose) was recorded at the end of 15-day incubation period. Specific activity
of the enzyme was 6.25 IU/mg protein. Hydrolysis of 1% substrate (water hyacinth) using crude enzyme dosage of 1.2 IU/g water
hyacinth showed 28.7% saccharification in 1 h. The observations in present study indicate that saccharification of cellulose
from water hyacinth was significantly higher by laboratory-produced cellulase than the commercial blend. 相似文献

Simultaneous saccharification and extractive fermentation of lignocellulosic materials into lactic acid was investigated using
a two-zone bioreactor. The system is composed of an immobilized cell reactor, a separate column reactor containing the lignocellulosic
substrate and a hollow-fiber membrane. It is operated by recirculating the cell free enzyme (cellulase) solution from the
immobilized cell reactor to the column reactor through the membrane. The enzyme and microbial reactions thus occur at separate
locations, yet simultaneously. This design provides flexibility in reactor operation as it allows easy separation of the solid
substrate from the microorganism, in situ removal of the product and, if desired, different temperatures in the two reactor sections. This reactor system was tested
using pretreated switchgrass as the substrate. It was operated under a fed-batch mode with continuous removal of lactic acid
by solvent extraction. The overall lactic acid yield obtainable from this bioreactor system is 77% of the theoretical. 相似文献

A β-glucosidase preparation derived from Aspergillus niger was immobilized onto a magnetic support and used in the enzymatic saccharification of a lignocellulosic material. The enzyme was immobilized onto polyethyleneimine-glutaraldehyde activated magnetite (PAM) and also onto titanium (IV) oxide (TiO 2)-coated magnetite (TAM). Although > 80% of the protein applied was immobilized, only 15–27% of the enzyme activity was recovered after immobilization. The β-glucosidase immobilized onto TiCO 2-coated magnetite suffered from enzyme being removed from the matrix under hydrolysis-use conditions, whereas the PAM enzyme remained attached to the matrix. The physicochemical properties of the immobilized β-glucosidase preparations are described. Both immobilized β-glucosidase preparations were capable of completely hydrolyzing cellobiose. Recycling of the immobilized enzymes (IME) resulted in reduced rates of hydrolysis with each recycling of the enzyme, although cellobiose was still capable of being completely hydrolyzed. The reduced hydrolysis performance was attributable to physical losses of IME during recovery and, in the case of TAM, enzyme loss from the matrix. Supplementing cellulase digests of steam-explosion pretreated Eucalyptus regnons pulps with immobilized β-glucosidase resulted in enhanced hydrolysis. Cellulose-to-glucose yields of 80% of theoretical predictions resulted within 24 h. The magnetically immobilized β-glucosidase could easily be recovered from the lignocellulose solids suspension in a stirred batch reactor by applying a magnetic field. The recycled immobilized enzyme continued to convert cellobiose into glucose in 80% yields over a 24-h period. This is the first report of a magnetically immobilized β-glucosidase preparation used in the enzymatic saccharification of a lignocellulosic material. 相似文献

Softwood residues are the most abundant feedstock available for bioconversion in many northern countries. However, the high costs for delignification and enzymatic hydrolysis currently deter commercialization of softwood bioconversion processes. This study evaluates the abilities of two novel fungal preparations (MSUBC1 and MSUBC2) and two commercial cellulase preparations (TR1 and TR2) to hydrolyze cellulose in Douglas-fir pretreated by steam explosion or ethanol organosolv process. MSUBC1 showed significantly better performance than the other preparations on both lignocellulosic substrates. In particular, MSUBC1 achieved >76% cellulose conversion for hydrolysis of steam-exploded Douglas-fir (~44% lignin) after 72 h at low enzyme loading (10 filter paper units/g of cellulose) and without β-glucosidase supplementation. 相似文献

Technologies suitable for the separation and reuse of cellulase enzymes during the enzymatic saccharification of pretreated
corn stover are investigated to examine the economic and technical viability of processes that promote cellulase reuse while
removing inhibitory reaction products such as glucose and cellobiose. The simplest and most suitable separation is a filter
with relatively large pores on the order of 20–25 mm that retains residual corn stover solids while passing reaction products
such as glucose and cellobiose to form a sugar stream for a variety of end uses. Such a simple separation is effective because
cellulase remains bound to the residual solids. Ultrafiltration using 50-kDa polyethersulfone membranes to recover cellulase
enzymes in solution was shown not to enhance further the saccharification rate or overall conversion. Instead, it appears
that the necessary cellulase enzymes, including β-glucosidase, are tightly bound to the substrate; when fresh corn stover
is contacted with highly washed residual solids, without the addition of fresh enzymes, glucose is generated at a high rate.
When filtration was applied multiple times, the concentration of inhibitory reaction products such as glucose and cellobiose
was reduced from 70 to 10 g/L. However, an enhanced saccharification performance was not observed, most likely because the
concentration of the inhibitory products remained too high. Further reduction in the product concentration was not investigated,
because it would make the reaction unnecessarily complex and result in a product stream that is much too dilute to be useful.
Finally, an economic analysis shows that reuse of cellulase can reduce glucose production costs, especially when the enzyme
price is high. The most economic performance is shown to occur when the cellulase enzyme is reused and a small amount of fresh
enzyme is added after each separation step to replace lost or deactivated enzyme. 相似文献

Waste copier paper is a potential substrate for the production of glucose relevant for manufacture of platform chemicals and intermediates, being composed of 51 % glucan. The yield and concentration of glucose arising from the enzymatic saccharification of solid ink-free copier paper as cellulosic substrate was studied using a range of commercial cellulase preparations. The results show that in all cellulase preparations examined, maximum hydrolysis was only achieved with the addition of beta-glucosidase, despite its presence in the enzyme mixtures. With the use of Accellerase® (cellulase), high substrate loading decreased conversion yield. However, this was overcome if the enzyme was added between 12.5 and 20 FPU g substrate ?1. Furthermore, this reaction condition facilitated continual stirring and enabled sequential additions (up to 50 % w/v) of paper to be made to the hydrolysis reaction, degrading nearly all (99 %) of the cellulose fibres and increasing the final concentration of glucose whilst simultaneously making high substrate concentrations achievable. Under optimal conditions (50 °C, pH 5.0, 72 h), digestions facilitate the production of glucose to much improved concentrations of up to 1.33 mol l ?1. 相似文献

Studies were carried out on saccharification of pretreated tapioca waste and water hyacinth under two different conditions:
using microbial enzymes (cellulase from Myrothecium verrucaria, Coprinus comatus, Pleurotus florida, and Cellulomonas sp.) and solid-state fermentation. The rate of saccharification was determined at different temperatures, pH, substrate concentration,
and incubation period. It was found that as the source of the enzyme varies, the optimal temperature and pH for the saccharification
varies. Among the two different treatments, enzymatic saccharification was found to be the most efficient. Among the various
cellulase sources tested, M. verrucaria cellulase was found to be the most efficient one followed by C. comatus, P. florida, and finally Cellulomonas sp. 相似文献

Simultaneous saccharification and cofermentation (SSCF) was carried out at approximately 15% total solids using conditioned dilute-acid pretreated yellow poplar feedstock, an adapted variant of National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) xylose-fermenting Zymomonas mobilis and either commercial or NREL-produced cellulase enzyme preparations. In 7 d, at a cellulase loading of 12 filter paper units pergram cellulose (FPU/g), the integrated system produced more than 3% w/v ethanol and achieved 54% conversion of all potentially available biomass sugars (total sugars) entering SSCF. A control SSCF employing Sigmacell cellulose and a commercial cellulase at an enzyme loading of 14 FPU/gachieved 65% conversion of total sugars to ethanol. 相似文献

In this study, with combined carboxymethyl cellulose agar plate, xylan agar plate and filter paper hydrolysis assay, a novel cellulase and xylanase-producing strain identified as Bacillus sp. was isolated. Using lactose as the only carbon source, a complete and balanced lignocellulolytic enzyme system containing at least endoglucanase (9.6 U/ml), exoglucanase (0.8 U/ml), Fpase (1.4 U/ml), xylanase (3.8 U/ml) and β-glucosidase (1.2 U/ml) was produced. Interestingly, a zymogram of the crude culture supernatant displayed a multifunctional lignocellulolytic enzyme system including at least four bonds with both endoglucanase activity and xylanase activity at 21.2, 23.8, 28.9 and 31.2 kDa, respectively, indicating that these enzymes might be bifunctional. More gratifyingly, according to the binding affinity analysis and scanning electron microscopy, the crude enzyme complex produced by strain BS-5 was capable of hydrolyzing not only pure insoluble polysaccharides, but also agricultural residues such as corn cob. At 5% substrate concentration and 20 FPU/g enzyme loading, the reducing sugar was 350.8 mg/g of alkali-pretreated corn cob after 72 h enzymatic hydrolysis. These results suggested that this strain could be a good candidate for the development of a more cost-effective and efficient lignocellulolytic enzyme cocktail for the saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass. 相似文献

The efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic materials requires the cooperative actions of different cellulase enzyme
activities: exoglucanase, endoglucanase, β-glucosidase, and xylanase. Previous studies with the fungi strains Aureobasidium sp. CHTE-18, Penicillium sp. CH-TE-001, and Aspergillus terreus CH-TE-013, selected mainly because of their different cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities, have demonstrated the capacity
of culture filtrates of cross-synergistic action in the saccharification of native sugarcane bagasse pith. In an attempt to
improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of different cellulosic materials, we investigated a coculture fermentation with two of these
strains to enhance the production of cellulases and xylanases. The 48-h batch experimental results showed that the mixed culture
of Penicillium sp. CH-TE-001 and A. terreus CH-TE-013 produced culture filtrates with high protein content, cellulase (mainly β-glucosidase), and xylanase activities
compared with the individual culture of each strain. The same culture conditions were used in a simple medium with mineral
salts, corn syrup liquor, and sugarcane bagasse pith as the sole carbon source with moderate shaking at 29°C. Finally, we
compared the effect of the cell-free culture filtrates obtained from the mixed and single fermentations on the saccharification
of different kinds of cellulosic materials. 相似文献

Two Streptomyces strains, M7a and M23, from a Brazilian forest soil were evaluated for the cellulase production of their superna tants after growth in a microcrystalline cellulose medium, using carboxy methylcellulose and filter paper as substrates at different temperatures and pH values. Endoglucanase and exoglucanase activities were compared to a commercial Trichoderma reesei cellulase using fluorogenic conjugated substrates Similar specific activities were observed for the enzyme preparations of strain M23 and T. reesei. For M7a the activities were about seven times higher than those obtained for T. reesei. Extracellular or cell-associated cellobiase activities were not detected in both strains. 相似文献

One of the limiting factors restricting the effective and efficient bioconversion of softwood-derived lignocellulosic residues
is the recalcitrance of the substrate following pretreatment. Consequently, the ensuing enzymatic process requires relatively
high enzyme loadings to produce monomeric carbohydrates that are readily fermentable by ethanologenic microorganisms. In an
attempt to circumvent the need for larger enzyme loadings, a simultaneous physical and enzymatic hydrolysis treatment was
evaluated. A ball-mill reactor was used as the digestion vessel, and the extent and rate of hydrolysis were monitored. Concurrently,
enzyme adsorption profiles and the rate of conversion during the course of hydrolysis were monitored. α-Cellulose, employed
as a model substrate, and SO 2-impregnated steam-exploded Douglas-fir wood chips were assessed as the cellulosic substrates. The softwood-derived substrate
was further posttreated with water and hot alkaline hydrogen peroxide to remove >90% of the original lignin. Experiments at
different reaction conditions were evaluated, including substrate concentration, enzyme loading, reaction volumes, and number
of ball beads employed during mechanical milling. It was apparent that the best conditions for the enzymatic hydrolysis of
α-cellulose were attained using a higher number of beads, while the presence of air-liquid interface did not seem to affect
the rate of saccharification. Similarly, when employing the lignocellulosic substrate, up to 100% hydrolysis could be achieved
with a minimum enzyme loading (10 filter paper units/g of cellulose), at lower substrate concentrations and with a greater
number of reaction beads during milling. It was apparent that the combined strategy of simultaneous ball milling and enzymatic
hydrolysis could improve the rate of saccharification and/or reduce the enzyme loading required to attain total hydrolysis
of the carbohydrate moieties. 相似文献

Ethanol, a promising alternative fuel, can be produced by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of lignocellulosic biomass, which combines the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose and the fermentation of glucose to ethanol by yeast in a single step. A mathematical model that depicts the kinetics of SSF has been developed based on considerations of the quality of the substrate and enzyme, and the substrate-enzyme-microorganism interactions. Critical experimentation has been performed in conjunction with multiresponse nonlinear regression analysis to determine key model parameters regarding cell growth and ethanol production. The model will be used for rational SSF optimization and scale-up. 相似文献

Paper mill sludge is a solid waste material generated from pulping and papermaking operations. Because of high glucan content and its well-dispersed structure, paper mill sludges are well suited for bioconversion into value-added products. It also has high ash content originated from inorganic additives used in papermaking, which causes hindrance to bioconversion. In this study, paper mill sludges from Kraft process were de-ashed by a centrifugal cleaner and successive treatment by sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide, and used as a substrate for cellulase production. The treated sludge was the only carbon source for cellulase production, and predominantly inorganic nutrients were used as the nitrogen source for this bioprocess. The cellulase enzyme produced from the de-ashed sludge exhibited cellulase activity of 8 filter paper unit (FPU)/mL, close to that obtainable from pure cellulosic substrates. The yield of cellulase enzyme was 307 FPU/g glucan of de-ashed sludge. Specific activity was 8.0 FPU/mg protein. In activity tests conducted against the corn stover and α-cellulose, the xylanse activity was found to be higher than that of a commercial cellulase. Relatively high xylan content in the sludge appears to have induced high xylanase production. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was performed using partially de-ashed sludge as the feedstock for ethanol production using Sacharomyces cerevisiae and the cellulase produced in-house from the sludge. With 6% ( w/ v) glucan feed, ethanol yield of 72% of theoretical maximum and 24.4 g/L ethanol concentration were achieved. These results were identical to those of the SSF using commercial cellulases. 相似文献

Properties of beta-glucosidase produced by Aspergillus niger URM 6642 recently isolated from the Atlantic rainforest biome and its potential tolerance to saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass products and fermentation inhibitors was evaluated. The fungus was cultivated under solid state culture conditions at 37°C with different agro-industrial wastes. High levels of beta-glucosidase (3778.9 U g ?1)from A. niger were obtained with rice meal as substrate under solid state culture conditions after ten days. Optimum pH for this particular beta-glucosidase activity was 4.0 although it was stable in the range of 4.0 to 7.0. The half-life ( T½) of beta-glucosidase at 55°C is 3 h. However, at the optimum temperature of the enzyme, 65°C, T½ is 20 min. The enzyme showed tolerance to various compounds such as glucose, xylose, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, furfural, coumarin, ethanol and acetic acid. Therefore, beta-glucosidase from the novel A. niger species may be of potential use in the saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass, as well as an additional enzyme supplement in cellulase cocktails used to increase the yield of fermentable sugars. 相似文献

Cellulase production was investigated in pH-controlled cultures of Acremonium cellulolyticus. The response to culture pH was investigated for three cellulolytic enzymes, carbomethyl cellulase (CMCase), avicelase, and
β-glucosidase. Avicelase and β-glucosidase showed similar profiles, with maximum activity in cultures at pH 5.5–6. The CMCase
activity was highest in a pH 4 culture. At an acidic pH, the ratios of CMCase and avicelase activity to cellulase activity
defined by filter paper unit were high, but at a neutral pH, the β-glucosidase ratio was high. The pH 6.0 culture showed the
highest cellulase activity within the range of pH 3.5–6.5 cultures. The saccharification activity from A. cellulolyticus was compared to those of the cellulolytic enzymes from other species. The A. cellulolyticus culture broth had a saccharification yield comparable to those of the Trichoderma enzymes GC220 and Cellulosin T2, under conditions with the same cellulase activity. The saccharification yields from Solka
floc, Avicel, and waste paper, measured as the percent of released reducing sugar to dried substrate, were greater than 80%
after 96 h of reaction. The yields were 16% from carboxymethylcellulose and 26% from wood chip refiner. Thus, the A. cellulolyticus enzymes were suitable for converting cellulolytic biomass to reducing sugars for biomass ethanol production. This study is
a step toward the establishment of an efficient system to reutilize cellulolytic biomass. 相似文献

This study evaluated the production of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using a microbial consortium of Aspergillus fumigatus SCBM6 and A. niger SCBM1 (AFN extract). The fungal strains were cultivated in sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and wheat bran (WB) as lignocellulosic substrates for 7 days at 30 °C. After SSF, the highest peaks of enzyme production were 150 and 80 U g−1 for β-xylosidase and β-glucosidase at 48 h, 375 U g−1 for xylanase at 96 h, and 80 U g−1 for endoglucanase and 4 U g−1 for cellulase activity on filter paper (FPase) at 144 h. The efficiency of the produced AFN extract was investigated in the enzymatic hydrolysis of crude biomass sorghum (BS) and after the removal of extractives (ES). After saccharification, the glucose and xylose concentrations were 10× superior in ES than in BS hydrolysate (2.5 g L−1 after 12 h). The presence of inhibitors of alcoholic fermentation, such as formic acid, was also reduced in ES hydrolysates, indicating that the removal of extractives positively contributed to the effectiveness of enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass sorghum using AFN extract. 相似文献

The major constraint in the enzymatic saccharification of biomass for ethanol production is the cost of cellulase enzymes.
Production cost of cellulases may be brought down by multifaceted approaches which includes the use of cheap lignocellulosic
substrates for fermentation production of the enzyme, and the use of cost efficient fermentation strategies like solid state
fermentation (SSF). The current study investigated the production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei RUT C30 on wheat bran under SSF. Process parameters important in cellulase production were identified by a Plackett and Burman
design and the parameters with significant effects on enzyme production were optimized for maximal yield using a central composite
rotary design (CCD). Higher initial moisture content of the medium had a negative effect on production whereas incubation
temperature influenced cellulase production positively in the tested range. Optimization of the levels of incubation temperature
and initial moisture content of the medium resulted in a 6.2 fold increase in production from 0.605 to 3.8 U/gds of cellulase.
The optimal combination of moisture and temperature was found to be 37.56% and 30 °C, respectively, for maximal cellulase
production by the fungus on wheat bran. 相似文献
