A metabolically engineered Escherichia coli KJ122 was efficiently utilized for succinate production from cassava pulp during batch separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) under simple anaerobic conditions. Succinate concentration of 41.46 ± 0.05 g/L with yield and productivity of 82.33 ± 0.14 g/100 g dry pulp and 0.84 ± 0.02 g/L/h was obtained. In batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), hydrolysis of 12 % (w/v) cassava pulp with an enzyme loading of 2 % AMG + 3 % Cel (v/w) at pH 6.5 was optimized at 39 °C. Succinate concentration of 80.86 ± 0.49 g/L with a yield of 70.34 ± 0.37 g/100 g dry pulp and a productivity of 0.84 ± 0.01 g/L/h was attained using E. coli KJ122. Fed-batch SSF significantly enhanced succinate concentration to 98.63 ± 0.12 g/L at yield and productivity of 71.64 ± 0.97 g/100 g dry pulp and 1.03 ± 0.01 g/L/h. This result indicated an efficient and economical succinate production from cassava pulp using SHF and SSF by the use of E. coli KJ122.

Article Synopsis
  • Cassava is a vital crop for producing starch and biofuels, and this study investigates its polysaccharide composition and efficiency of converting its pulp into sugars through genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
  • Researchers analyzed 135 inbred lines and found significant genetic variations linked to biomass traits, with notable SNPs pointing to a complex genetic makeup that influences saccharification potential and monosaccharide traits.
  • The study identified key candidate genes related to stress responses affecting cell wall composition, which offer valuable insights for breeding cassava varieties tailored for better industrial use.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with fermented cassava pulp by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (FCSC) in the diet of growing goats. Growing goats were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments according to replicated 5 × 5 Latin square design. Dietary treatments were five levels of replacement SBM to FCSC at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of crude protein in concentrates.

Article Synopsis
  • Raw cassava pulp, an agro-industry byproduct, is low in nutrients and prone to spoilage, but can be preserved for livestock feed through the addition of Lactobacillus spp. and other stimulants.
  • A study evaluated two diets for Thai beef cattle: one with raw cassava pulp alone and another with added Lactobacillus casei, urea, and molasses, finding no significant differences in body weight gain, but improved rice straw intake and protein digestion in the supplemented group.
  • The results indicated that adding Lactobacillus casei, urea, and molasses to cassava pulp enhances rumen fermentation and nutrient absorption without harming overall growth performance in beef cattle.
