Production, concentration and partial characterization of an enzymatic extract produced by an mutant in solid state fermentation.

An enzymatic extract from 3T5B8 was produced by Solid State Fermentation (SSF) in aerated columns, using wheat bran as substrate. A combination of extracts produced using three different process conditions varying temperature, pH and aeration formed the final extract (Mixture). The Mixture was concentrated by an ultrafiltration process that partially purified and provided an efficient recovery of the enzymatic activities of xylanase (88.

Development and validation of HILIC-UHPLC-ELSD methods for determination of sugar alcohols stereoisomers and its application for bioconversion processes of crude glycerin.

The recent increase in the production of crude glycerin through the manufacture of biodiesel has imputed a commercial issue, the excess of this raw material in the market and its constant devaluation, which resulted in the need for new technologies for its use. Crude glycerin can be used in biotechnological processes for the production of high value-added compounds. This study presents novel, simple and fast methods based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) using evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) for simultaneous analysis of ten sugar alcohols with a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) column.

Utilization of agroindustrial residues for lipase production by solid-state fermentation.

The aim of this work was to produce lipases by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using, as substrate, agroindustrial residue supplemented with by-products from corn oil refining process or olive oil. For a group of ten fungi strains selected in the first steps, the lipase activity obtained by SSF varied from 7.7 to 58.

Lipase production in solid-state fermentation monitoring biomass growth of aspergillus niger using digital image processing.

The aim of this study was to monitor the biomass growth of Aspergillus niger in solid-state fermentation (SSF) for lipase production using digital image processing technique. The strain A. niger 11T53A14 was cultivated in SSF using wheat bran as support, which was enriched with 0.

Evaluation of cell recycle on Thermomyces lanuginosus Xylanase A production by Pichia pastoris GS 115.

This work aims to evaluate cell recycle of a recombinant strain of Pichia pastoris GS115 on the Xylanase A (XynA) production of Thermomyces lanuginosus IOC-4145 in submerged fermentation. Fed-batch processes were carried out with methanol feeding at each 12 h and recycling cell at 24, 48, and 72 h. Additionally, the influence of the initial cell concentration was investigated.

Application of xylanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus IOC-4145 for enzymatic hydrolysis of corncob and sugarcane bagasse.

Xylanases have significant current and potential uses for several industries including paper and pulp, food, and biofuel. For the biofuel industry, xylanases can be used to aid in the conversion of lignocellulose to fermentable sugars (e.g.

Optimized expression of a thermostable xylanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus in Pichia pastoris.

Highly efficient production of a Thermomyces lanuginosus IOC-4145 beta-1,4-xylanase was achieved in Pichia pastoris under the control of the AOX1 promoter. P. pastoris colonies expressing recombinant xylanase were selected by enzymatic activity plate assay, and their ability to secrete high levels of the enzyme was evaluated in small-scale cultures.
