Convective Drying of the Thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus at Relatively Low Temperatures and its Efficiency in Whey Fermentation

چکیده
Thermally dried thermophilic K. marxianus has proved to be an effective starter culture for whey fermentation. Convective drying of K. marxianus can be performed effectively in the range 35-60 o C. The best drying temperature for is considered 35 o C since it is the most cost effective without any substantial difference in kinetic parameters when compared with higher temperatures. The impact of thermally dried starter culture of K. marxianus is high, since several products could be produced from whey, such as potable and fuel-grade alcohol, baker’s yeast, SCP to feed animals and a Kefir drink-type. Furthermore, the economical impact of thermally dried starter culture production is essential, since it may lead small dairy enterprises to treat their own whey by producing added value products and protecting the environment from this much polluted liquid. GC-MS analysis of fermented whey indicates that it contains volatiles similar to traditional drinks produced from vegeta-

Data for rapid ethanol production at elevated temperatures by engineered thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus via the NADP(H)-preferring xylose reductase–xylitol dehydrogenase pathway
Conversion of xylose to ethanol by yeasts is a challenge because of the redox imbalances under oxygen-limited conditions. The thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus grows well with xylose as a carbon source at elevated temperatures, but its xylose fermentation ability is weak. In this study, a combination of the NADPH-preferring xylose reductase (XR) from Neurospora crassa and the NADP(+)...
متن کاملDynamics of Ethanol Production from Deproteinized Whey by Kluyveromyces marxianus: An Analysis About Buffering Capacity,Thermal and Nitrogen Tolerance
The production of value-added products could be a valuable option for cheese wastewater management. However, this kind of study cannot just focus alone on getting the final product. This also necessitates studies on the dynamics of bioprocesses. With these as background, the present investigation aimed at evaluating the buffering capacity of deproteinized whey and effect of temperature and nitr...
متن کاملSulfuric acid hydrolysis and detoxification of red alga Pterocladiella capillacea for bioethanol fermentation with thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus.
One-step sulfuric acid saccharification of the red alga Pterocladiella capillacea was optimized, and various detoxification methods (neutralization, overliming, and electrodialysis) of the acid hydrolysate were evaluated for fermentation with the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. A proximate composition analysis indicated that P. capillacea was rich in carbohydrates. A significant g...

The transcription factors Hsf1 and Msn2 of thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus promote cell growth and ethanol fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at high temperatures
Background High temperature inhibits cell growth and ethanol fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As a complex phenotype, thermotolerance usually involves synergistic actions of many genes, thereby being difficult to engineer. The overexpression of either endogenous or exogenous stress-related transcription factor genes in yeasts was found to be able to improve relevant stress tolerance of...
