Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes for producing ethanol from lignocellulose are capable of improved
hydrolysis rates, yields, and product concentrations compared to separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) systems, because
the continuous removal of the sugars by the yeasts reduces the end-product inhibition of the enzyme complex. Recent experiments
using Genencor 150L cellulase and mixed yeast cultures have produced yields and concentrations of ethanol from cellulose of
80% and 4.5%, respectively. The mixed culture was employed because B.clausenii has the ability to ferment cellobiose (further reducing end-product inhibition), while the brewing yeastS. cerevisiae provides a robust ability to ferment the monomeric sugars. These experimental results are combined with a process model to
evaluate the economics of the process and to investigate the effect of alternative processes, conditions, and organisms. 相似文献

Two additional electrophoretically distinct molecular forms, isoforms (iso) 2 and 3, with lectin properties were isolated
fromCratylia mollis Mart, seeds (FABACEAE), by extraction with 0.15M NaCl and ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by chromatography on Sephadex
G-75 and Bio-Gel P-200 (iso 2), as well as CM-Cellulose and Sephadex G-75 (iso 3). Both isoforms were human group nonspecific
and showed distinct specificity. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resolved iso 2 and 3 in polypeptides of apparent mol wts
60 and 31 kDa, respectively; a distinct isoelectric focusing pattern was obtained for iso 2 and 3, under denaturing and reducing
conditions. 相似文献

Synthesis of Cyclodextrin Glucosyl Transferase byBacillus cereus for the production of cyclodextrins
R. Jamuna N. Saswathi R. Sheela S. V. Ramakrishna 《Applied biochemistry and biotechnology》1993,43(3):163-176
A potent indigenous bacillus isolate identified asBacillus cereus (RJ-30) was found to produce Cyclodextrin Glucosyl Transferase (CGTase) extracellularly. Process optimization of various
fermentation parameters has been established for optimal growth of bacillus and the maximum enzyme synthesis. The organism
had the highest specific growth rate (0.7μ) with a generation time of 1 h in glucose containing medium at the conditions of
pH 7.0, 37°C at 300 rpm, 1.5 vvm of agitation, and aeration. At these conditions, it exhibited the maximum activity of 54
U/mL at the synthesis rate of 2.7 U/L/h. CGTase was produced from the early exponential growth and peaked during the midsporulating
stage of about 16 h thereafter maintained at the same level of 50 U/mL. Saccharides containing media were better inducers
than starch, and the influence of carbohydrate substrates has shown that enzyme synthesis is promoted by xylose (65 U/mL)
and, more remarkably, by the supplementation of wheat bran extract in glucose medium (106 U/mL). This organism produced CGTase
stably in a chemostat culturing over a period of 400 h with a maximum productivity of 5.4 kU/L/h (threefold higher than obtained
in batch culturing [1.75 kU/L/h]). Comparatively, CGTase was produced by immobilized cells in a continuous fluidized bed reactor
for over approx 360 h, at a relatively high dilution rate of 0.88 h−1 resulting in the productivity of 23.0 kU/L/h. 相似文献

A 1,4-β-d-glucan cellobiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.91) and l,4-β-d-glucan glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.4) were purified from the culture filtrates ofPenicillium funiculosum by using preparative isoelectric focusing. Both the enzymes were homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel with and without sodium
dodecyl sulphate. The mol wt of the cellobiohydrolase and endoglucanase were 14,400 and 25,000 respectively. The purified
enzymes were free of β-glucosidase activity. Acting in isolation, the cellobiohydrolase had little capacity for solubilizing
Avicel or Walseth cellulose, but showed increased rates of hydrolysis when combined with endoglucanase. Cellobiose inhibition
(50%) was observed in the initial rate of the hydrolysis of Walseth cellulose. It was also observed that cellobiohydrolase
initiates the attack on crystalline cellulose.

This article presents the advanced technology that has been developed by BioEnergy International of Gainesville, Florida,
utilizing novel recombinant strains of bacteria developed by Lonnie Ingram of the University of Florida. The first commercial
applications of these unique fermenting organisms convert 5-carbon sugars, as well as 6-carbon sugars, and oligomers of cellulose
(e.g., cellobiose and cellotriose) directly to ethanol. The proposed systems that will be utilized for conversion of agricultural
wastes, mixed waste papers, and pulp and paper mill waste in forthcoming commercial installations are now under design. This
involves the extensive experience of Raphael Katzen Associates International, Inc. in acid hydrolysis, enzyme production,
enzymatic hydrolysis, large-scale fermentation engineering, and distillation/dehydration.
Specific examples of this advanced technology will be presented in different applications, namely:

1. | Conversion of the hemicellulose content of sugar cane bagasse to 5-carbon sugars by mild-acid prehydrolysis, followed by fermentation of the 5-carbon sugar extract with recombinantEscherichia coli in a commercial installation soon to be under construction in Brazil. This unique process utilizes the surplus hemicellulose fraction of bagasse not required for steam and power generation to produce ethanol, additional to that from the original cane juice, which has been converted by conventional sucrose fermentation to ethanol. The process also recovers and converts to ethanol the majority of sucrose normally lost with the bagasse fibers. Resultant beer is enriched in an innovative process to eliminate the need for incremental rectification capacity. |
2. | Application of this technology to mixed waste paper in Florida, with a moderate loading of newsprint (85% mechanical wood fiber), will involve a mild-acid prehydrolysis, the partial extraction of the 5-carbon sugars produced from hemicellulose as a feedstock for propagation of the recombinantKlebsiella oxytoca bacterium. Included is a facility providing for in-house production of cellulase enzyme, as an active whole broth for direct use in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of the remaining cellulose and residual 5-carbon sugars to ethanol. This is followed by distillation and dehydration in the advanced commercially available low-energy recovery system. |
3. | Another potential application of this unique technology involves utilization of a variety of wastes from several pulp and paper mills in close proximity, permitting collection of these wastes at low cost and reducing the considerable cost encountered in disposing of such low-energy wet waste. Based on pilot plant experiences with converting such waste by simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, the same techniques will be applied as in the second case, with use of acid prehydrolysis only if the hemicellulose-derived sugars can be economically recovered. If not, acid hydrolysis will be eliminated and only the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation will be carried out, utilizing in-house-produced enzyme broth and recombinantKlebsiella oxytoca. |

Lamb pregastric lipase was purified from a commercial source using delipidation, solubilization with KSCN, acid-precipitation, pepsin-digestion, affinity chromatography with agarose-Cibacron Blue F3GA, gel filtration, and elution from a native 10% (w/v) polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme had a single subunit of 68,000 Da with maximum esterase activity when measured at pH 6.0 and 30 degrees C. The enzyme preferentially hydrolyzed short- and medium-chain (C4, C6, and C8) synthetic esters and short-chain (C4 and C6) monoacid triglycerides. The NH2-terminal sequence demonstrated high homology with gastric and lingual lipases. 相似文献

C-peptide radioimmunoassay (C-peptide RIA) is widely used in determination of pancreatic B-cell secretion activity.125I labeled TyrC-peptide is indispensable in C-peptide RIA kit. Herein we discuss a way of obtaining recombinant Tyr-C-peptide.
Arg32Tyr human proinsulin mutant (R32Y-proinsulin) gene was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and overexpressed inEscherichia coli. Purified R32Y-proinsulin was converted to insulin and Tyr-C-peptide by trypsin and carboxypeptidase B codigestion. Tyr-C-peptide
was isolated through reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) and identified by C-peptide RIA and amino acid analysis. 相似文献

Four isoforms of the extracellular lignin peroxidase of the ligninolytic actinomyceteStreptomyces viridosporus T7A (ALip-P1, P2, P3, and P4) were individually purified by ultrafiltration and ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed
by electro-elution using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Three of the purified peroxidases were compared for their immunologic
relatedness by Western blot analysis using a polyclonal antibody preparation produced in rabbits against pure isoform P3.
The anti-P3 antibody was also tested for its reactivity towards a lignin peroxidase from the white-rot fungusPhanerochaete chrysosporium and another ligninolytic actinomyceteStreptomyces badius 252. Results showed that peroxidases ALip-P1 through ALip-P3 are immunologically related to one another. The peroxidases
ofS. badius, but not the peroxidase ofP. chrysosporium, also reacted with the antibody, thus indicating that the lignin peroxidases ofS. viridosporus andS. badius are immunologically related. Based upon its specific affinity, lignin peroxidase isoform ALip-P3 ofS. viridosporus was readily purified using an anti-P3 antibody affinity column. 相似文献

Experimental results are presented for continuous conversion of pretreated hardwood flour to ethanol. A simultaneous saccharification
and fermentation (SSF) system comprised ofTrichoderma reesei cellulase supplemented with additional β-glucosidase and fermentation bySaccharomyces cerevisiae was used for most experiments, with data also presented for a direct microbial conversion (DMC) system comprised ofClostridium thermocellum. Using a batch SSF system, dilute acid pretreatment of mixed hardwood at short residence time(10 s, 220°C, 1% H2SO4) was compared to poplar wood pretreated at longer residence time (20 min, 160°C, 0.45% H2SO4). The short residence time pretreatment resulted in a somewhat (10–20%) more reactive substrate, with the reactivity difference
particularly notable at low enzyme loadings and/or low agitation. Based on a preliminary screening, inhibition of SSF by byproducts
of short residence time pretreatment was measurable, but minor. Both SSF and DMC were carried out successfully in well-mixed
continuous systems, with steady-state data obtained at residence times of 0.58–3 d for SSF as well as 0.5 and 0.75 d for DMC.
The SSF system achieved substrate conversions varying from 31% at a 0.58-d residence time to 86% at a 2-d residence time.
At comparable substrate concentrations (4–5 g/l) and residence times (0.5–0.58 d), substrate conversion in the DMC system
(77%) was significantly higher than that in the SSF system (31%). Our results suggest that the substrate conversion in SSF
carried out in CSTR is relatively insensitive to enzyme loading in the range 7–25 U/g cellulose and to substrate concentration
in the range of 5–60 g/L cellulose in the feed. 相似文献

Streptomyces setonii 75Vi2 produces an extracellular coal-solubilizing component(s) in the absence of coal. The heat stability, relatively low
molecular weight, and insensitivity to proteases of the substance(s) responsible for coal solubilization indicate that the
process is nonenzymatic. This report describes factors affecting the production and activity of this substance(s) and the
similarity in its action to alkaline buffer solutions in solubilizing coal. 相似文献

High energy costs are associated with the recovery of ethanol from fermentation broths. This paper discusses a computer simulation
of the Dartmouth Process, which aims to reduce these costs by the use of IHOSR distillation, extensive heat integration, and
extractive distillation using a salt.
To resolve the uncertainty in modeling alcohol-water-salt vapor-liquid equilibrium, a new and more accurate activity coefficient
model was used. An Aspen™ model was used to generate capital and energy costs for a range of ethanol concentrations in the
feed. Simulation results show that the Dartmouth Process offers substantial economic advantages over benzene azeotropic distillation,
particularly at low feed concentrations. 相似文献

Anaerobic bacteria have been shown to be capable of converting CO, H2, and CO2 in synthesis gas to valuable products, such as acetate, methane, and ethanol. However, synthesis gas also contains small
quantities of sulfur gases such as H2S and COS, that may inhibit the performance of these organisms. This paper compares the performance of several CO-utilizing
and methanogenic bacteria in converting CO, CO2, and H2 to products in the presence of various concentrations of H2S and COS. The sulfur gas toxicity levels, growth, substrate uptake, and product formation for each organism are compared. 相似文献

Xylan backbones in native plant cell walls are extensively acety-lated. Previously, no direct investigations as to their role
in cellulolytic enzyme resistance have been done, though indirect results point to their importance. An in vitro deesterification
of aspen wood and wheat straw has been completed using hydroxylamine solutions. Yields of 90% acetyl ester removal for both
materials have been accomplished, with little disruption of other fractions (i.e., lignin). Apparently, as the xylan becomes
increasingly deacetylated, it becomes 5–7 times more digestible. This renders the cellulose fraction more accessible, and
2–3 times more digestible. This effect levels off near an acetyl removal of 75%, where other resistances become limiting. 相似文献

Recently, several microorganisms have been shown to be capable of directly solubilizing low-rank coals. This bioextract has
a high molecular weight and is water soluble, but is not useful as a liquid fuel. This paper presents the results of studies
to biologically solubilize coal and convert the solubilized coal into more useful compounds. Preliminary experiments have
been conducted to isolate cultures for the serial biological conversion of coal into liquid fuels. Coal particles have been
solubilized employing an isolate from the surface of Arkansas lignite. Natural inocula, such as sheep rumen and sewage sludge,
are then employed in developing cultures for converting the bioextract into fuels. This paper presents preliminary results
of experiments in coal solubilization and bioextract conversion. 相似文献

Amperometric enzyme electrode for glucose is described based on the incorporation of glucose oxidase (GOD) into graphite paste modified with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). The incorporated enzyme exhibits high activity and long-term stability over the earlier TCNQ-based glucose sensor (1). The sensor provides a linear response to glucose over a wide concentration range. The response time of the sensor is 15-50 sec, and the detection limit is 0.5 mM. Stable response to the substrate was obtained during a period of 35 d. Application of the sensor in the plasma analysis is reported. 相似文献

Single-stage cocurrent dilute acid pretreatments were carried out on yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) sawdust using an as-installed and short residence time modified pilot-scale Sunds hydrolyzer and a 4-L bench-scale NREL
digester (steam explosion reactor). Pretreatment conditions for the Sunds hydrolyzer, installed in the NREL process development
unit (PDU), which operates at 1 t/d (bone-dry t) feed rate, spanned the temperature range of 160 – 210°C, 0.1 – 1.0% (w/w)
sulfuric acid, and 4-10-min residence times. The batch pretreatments of yellow poplar sawdust in the bench-scale digester
were carried out at 210 and 230°C, 0.26% (w/w) sulfuric acid, and 1-, 3-, and 4-min residence times. The dilute acid prehydrolysis
solubilized more than 90% of the hemicellulose, and increased the enzymatic digestibility of the cellulose that remained in
the solids. Compositional analysis of the pretreated solids and liquors and mass balance data show that the two pretreatment
devices had similar pretreatment performance. 相似文献

A bacterium capable of utilizing acetonitrile (methyl cyanide) as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen was isolated from
soil and identified asPseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium could also utilize and oxidize numerous lower-mol-wt nitrile compounds and their corresponding amides as growth
substrates. A metabolite of acetonitrile in the culture medium was determined to be ammonia. The accumulation of ammonia in
the culture medium was proportional to the concentration of the substrate and the inoculum. Cell extracts of the bacterium
contained activities corresponding to nitrile aminohydrolase (E C 3.5.5.1) and amidase (E C 3.5.1.4), which regulate the degradation
of acetonitrile. Both enzymes were inducible and hydrolyzed a wide range of substrates, and it was determined that the specific
activity of amidase was far greater than the activity of nitrile aminohydrolase. 相似文献
