Enzyme immobilization is a useful tool to produce biocatalysts with improved performance, such as high activity, stability at operational conditions, and easy recovery reuse. In this context, the production of second-generation ethanol using immobilized enzymes was reviewed. Emphasis placed on pre-treatment and/or hydrolysis steps increase efficiency reduce cost process. addition, process design bioethanol critically enzymatic pre-treatment, laccases, manganese peroxidases, lignin lytic...
The improvement of biotechnological processes capable transforming agro-industrial waste into products with high added value has stood out in the area renewable energies, promoting positive impacts to environment. Thus, present work evaluated influence nickel on conversion fermentable sugars, green coconut shell hydrolyzate (GCSH), butanol and other products. Fermentation assays were performed at 37 °C, starting 19.4 g.L-1 sugars 1.0 inoculum (C. beijerinckii). GCSH was supplemented...
