Intracellular metabolites were evaluated during the continuous growth of Trichoderma harzianum P49P11 under carbon-limited conditions. Four different conditions in duplicate were investigated (10 and 20 g/L of glucose, 5.26/5.26 g/L of fructose/glucose and 10 g/L of sucrose in ...
Cellulase production can be divided into two steps: growth stage; followed by an induction stage. To develop a mathematical model for the optimization of this strategy, two sets of experiments were performed in batch mode for parameter estimation. One set of experiments was pe ...
Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Sugarcane Bagasse in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS)
Exploration and Conceptual Process Design
The enzymatic conversion of lignocellulosic material to sugars can provide a carbon source for the production of energy (fuels) and a wide range of renewable products. However, the efficiency of this conversion is impaired due to product (sugar) inhibition. Even though several ...
Carbon-limited chemostat cultures were performed using different carbon sources (glucose, 10 and 20 g/L; sucrose, 10 g/L; fructose/glucose, 5.26/5.26 g/L; carboxymethyl cellulose, 10 g/L; and carboxymethyl cellulose/glucose, 5/5 g/L) to verify the capability of the wild type s ...
The wild type strain Trichoderma harzianum was able to synthesize enzymes that can catalyse the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPGase) in glucose-limited chemostat cultures. Fructose/glucose and sucrose conditions provided low levels of PNPGase activity. To ...
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) can be applied to enzymatic reactions that are affected by product inhibition. In the biorefinery context, sugars inhibit the cellulolytic enzymes in charge of converting the biomass. Here, we present a strategy to select an ATPS (formed by pol ...
