Abstract In the present report, crude glycerol, waste discharged from bio‐diesel production, was used as carbon substrate for three natural Yarrowia lipolytica strains (LFMB 19, LFMB 20 and ACA‐YC 5033) during growth in nitrogen‐limited submerged shake‐flask experiments. media with initial glycerol concentration of 30 g/L, all presented satisfactory microbial complete uptake. Although culture conditions favored secretion citric acid (and potentially accumulation storage lipid), 19 20, polyol...
In this study, we have investigated the biochemical behaviour of Aspergillus sp. (five strains) and Penicillium expansum (one strain) fungi cultivated on waste cooking olive oil. The production lipid-rich biomass was main target work. parallel, biosynthesis other extracellular metabolites (organic acids) enzyme (lipase) substrate fatty acid specificity strains were studied.Carbon-limited cultures performed oil, added in growth medium at 15g l(-1) , high quantities produced (up to c.18g...
Grape pomace, a by-product derived from winery industries, was used as fermentation media for the production of added-value products through cultivation two Pleurotus species. Solid-state (SSF), semiliquid (SLF), and submerged (SmF) fermentations were carried out using grape pomace substrate. The effect different on consumption phenolic compounds, mycelial mass enzymes evaluated P. ostreatus pulmonarius. fungal biomass influenced by mode. maximum values ~0.5 g/g obtained both pulmonarius in...
Thamnidium elegans CCF-1465 was grown in a submerged shake-flask culture media which inexpensive sugars derived from sugar refinery plant (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) were utilized as carbon sources. Cultures performed favoring the accumulation of reserve lipid (high initial C/N ratios imposed, presenting constant nitrogen increasing concentrations, namely, at 30, 60, 80 g/L). Although significant quantities fat accumulated all cultures performed, production terms both absolute (g/L)...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Olive mill wastewaters ( OMWs ) are an important residue and several methods have been proposed for their treatment. RESULTS: Remarkable decolorization (~63%) phenol removal (~34% w/w) from OMW was achieved. In glucose‐based flask sterile cultures, enrichment with increased ethanol biomass production compared cultures without added. Flask un‐sterilized demonstrated similar kinetic results. Batch‐bioreactor trials performed showed higher lower quantities the respective...
Morchella sp. is one of the most expensive mushrooms with a high nutritional profile. In this study, polysaccharide content species was investigated. Specifically, mycelium growth rate, biomass production, sclerotia formation, and glucosamine total polysaccharides six grown on starch-based media were evaluated. Submerged fermentations in potato dextrose broth resulted around 3.0%. solid-state (SSF), using agar, linear rate (20.6 mm/day) determined. Increased observed after formation...
ABSTRACT Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) of Pleurotus ostreatus was supplemented with wheat bran and soybean flour used as for a new cultivation cycle the oyster mushrooms pulmonarius. The bioconversion efficiency produced over (BE%) chemical composition sporophores were evaluated. concentration mycelial mass, crude exopolysaccharide content laccase enzyme activity also determined at SMS before inoculation, 50% 100% colonization stages in final re-utilized SMS. extracted to examine potential...
