Alcohol Production from Cassava Starch by Co-immobilized Zymomonas mobilis and Immobilized Glucoamylase
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of dextrin£zed cassava starch to glucose and alcohol, respectively, were carried out by co-immobilized Zymomonas mobilis and immobilz'zed glucoamylase (IG). Calcium alginate-entrapped cells and IG (4 : 1 ratio) gave an alcohol productivity of 0.30 glgww cellslh in a batchfermentation process. For continuous fermentation, 54.3 gil alcohol was produced at a dilution rate of 0.3Ih. 60% of the initial activity was lost within 3 days and, thereafter, the system entered a slowly decreasing phase ofalcohol production.

Production of ethanol from starch by co-immobilized Zymomonas mobilis-glucoamylase in a fluidized-bed reactor.
The production of ethanol from starch was studied in a fluidized-bed reactor (FBR) using co-immobilized Zymomonas mobilis and glucoamylase. The FBR was a glass column of 2.54 cm in diameter and 120 cm in length. The Z. mobilis and glucoamylase were co-immobilized within small uniform beads (1.2-2.5 mm diameter) of kappa-carrageenan. The substrate for ethanol production was a soluble starch. Lig...
متن کاملEthanol fermentation of sugarcane molasses by Zymomonas mobilis MTCC 92 immobilized in Luffa cylindrica L. sponge discs and Ca-alginate matrices
Bio-ethanol production from cane molasses (diluted to 15 % sugar w/v) was studied using the bacterium, Zymomonas mobilis MTCC 92 entrapped in luffa (Luffa cylindrica L.) sponge discs and Ca-alginate gel beads as the immobilizing matrices. At the end of 96 h fermentation, the final ethanol concentrations were 58.7 ± 0.09 and 59.1 ± 0.08 g/l molasses with luffa and Ca-alginate entrapped Z. mobili...
متن کاملImmobilization of Glucoamylase on Macroporous Spheres
Glucoamylase was covalently immobilized through the spacer-arm of the poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) spheres by using a glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent. The influence of the enzyme load, applied to the support on immobilization, yield and specific activity, has been determined. Obtained specific activity was 700 U/g with immobilization yield of 35 %. The Km val...
متن کاملApplication in the Ethanol Fermentation of Immobilized Yeast Cells in Matrix of Alginate/Magnetic Nanoparticles, on Chitosan-Magnetite Microparticles and Cellulose-coated Magnetic Nanoparticles
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells were entrapped in matrix of alginate and magnetic nanoparticles and covalently immobilized on magnetite-containing chitosan and cellulose-coated magnetic nanoparticles. Cellulose-coated magnetic nanoparticles with covalently immobilized thermostable α-amylase and chitosan particles with immobilized glucoamylase were also prepared. The immobilized cells and enzymes...
متن کاملPilot plant production of glucose with glucoamylase immobilized to porous silica.
Glucoamylase was immobilized to porous silica and its kinetics and stability were observed with acid- and alpha-amylase-hydrolyzed dextrin as feed. The enzyme was found to be extremely stable in both laboratory and pilot plant operations. When the feed had been previously only lightly hydrolyzed, pore diffusion limitation caused appreciable decreases in glucose production rate. The severity of ...
