In the present study potential of bioethanol production using carbohydrate-enriched biomass cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis was studied. For saccharification biomass, four acids (H2SO4, HNO3, HCl and H3PO4) were investigated. Each acid used at concentrations, 2.5 N, 1 0.5 N 0.25 for each concentration conducted under temperatures (40 °C, 60 80 °C 100 °C). Higher concentrations gave in general higher reducing sugars (RS) yields (%, gRS/gTotal sugars) with rates, while increase...
Arthrospira platensis is an edible cyanobacterium with high nutritional value. Even though A. not a marine species, it can be adapted to higher salinities, strategy that could allow mass cultivation using brackish or saline water. In this work was long-term at different salinities (5-60 g/L NaCl added as natural sea salt) evaluate the growth and biochemical composition of biomass produced. Biomass production enhanced in salinity up 40 NaCl, while 60 slightly decreased. However, displayed...
