Polyhydroxyalkanoates are biopolyesters stored as reserve source of energy by a great number of prokaryotes. It is stored as intracellular granules and during normal growth, its content in the cells usually does not reach high concentrations, usually in the range of 2–10 %, but the PHB contents can reach more than 80 % of the dry biomass if growth is limited by depletion of an essential nutriti...

We analyzed and compared the difference in sinapine concentration in rapeseed meal between the filamentous fungus, Trametes sp 48424, and the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in both liquid and solid-state fermentation. During liquid and solid-state fermentation by Trametes sp 48424, the sinapine concentration decreased significantly. In contrast, the liquid and solid-state fermentation process...

The enzyme L-asparaginase has been proved to be efficient in treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [ALL] and Lymphosarcomas. The present paper discusses the studies carried out for the production of this enzyme from bacillus species. By study obtained optimization of medium, solid state fermentation by using cotton cake and wheat bran and submerged fermentation using distillery waste. a M2 ...

BACKGROUND VHG fermentation is a promising process engineering strategy aiming at improving ethanol titer, and thus saving energy consumption for ethanol distillation and distillage treatment. However, sustained process oscillation was observed during continuous VHG ethanol fermentation, which significantly affected ethanol fermentation performance of the system. RESULTS Sustained process osc...

A novel microbial approach to the production of enantiomerically enriched and pure aroma compounds based on kinetic resolution via solid-state fermentation is proposed. Twenty-five filamentous fungi were screened for lipase activity and enantioselective hydrolysis of a volatile racemic ester (1-phenylethyl acetate (1)) and several racemic lactones (trans and cis whisky lactones (4, 5), γ-decala...

Physicochemical properties of Fujian Yongchun aged vinegar (FYAV) and Shanxi mature vinegar (SMV) were compared in terms of the fermentation methods applied and aging periods (3, 5, 8, and 10 years), and combined E-nose/E-tongue analyses were performed to assess their flavors. Compared with submerged fermentation-derived FYAV, solid-state fermentation-derived SMV showed higher values of pH, bri...

Low-salt solid-state fermentation soy sauce was prepared with defatted soy bean and wheat bran. Biochemical changes during the aging of the soy sauce mash were investigated. Results showed that after a 15-day aging period, the contents of total nitrogen, formol titration nitrogen, free amino acids, reducing sugar, total sugar and the brown color were increased. However, pH was decreased during ...
