This work had as its main objective to contribute to the development of a biological detoxification of hemicellulose hydrolysates obtained from different biomass plants using Issatchenkia occidentalis CCTCC M 206097 yeast. Tests with hemicellulosic hydrolysate of sugarcane bagasse in different concentrations were carried out to evaluate the influence of the hydrolysate concentration on the inhibitory compounds removal from the sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate, without reduction of sugar concentration. The highest reduction values of inhibitors concentration and less sugar losses were observed when the fivefold concentrated hydrolysate was treated by the evaluated yeast. In these experiments it was found that the high sugar concentrations favored lower sugar consumption by the yeast. The highest concentration reduction of syringaldehyde (66.67%), ferulic acid (73.33%), furfural (62%), and 5-HMF (85%) was observed when the concentrated hydrolysate was detoxified by using this yeast strain after 24 h of experimentation. The results obtained in this work showed the potential of the yeast Issatchenkia occidentalis CCTCC M 206097 as detoxification agent of hemicellulosic hydrolysate of different biomass plants.
The aim of this work was to study the ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) to metabolize a variety of aromatic compounds found in rice straw (RSHH) and olive tree pruning (OTHH) hemicellulosic hydrolysates, obtained by acid hydrolysis at different sugar and toxic compound concentrations. Initially, the hydrolysates were inoculated with S. cerevisiae (10 g L(-1)) and incubated at 30 °C under agitation at 200 rpm for 6 h. The results showed that this yeast was able to utilize phenolic and furan compounds in both hemicellulose hydrolysates. Next, the treated hydrolysates were inoculated with Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124 to evaluate the effect of biotransformation of aromatic compounds on ethanol production, and better fermentation results were obtained in this case compared to untreated ones. The untreated hemicellulose hydrolysates were not able to be fermented when they were incubated with Pichia stipitis. However, in RSHH treated hydrolysates, ethanol (Y(P/S)) and biomass (Y(X/S)) yields and volumetric ethanol productivity (Q(P)) were 0.17 g g(-1), 0.15 g g(-1) and 0.09 g L(-1) h(-1), respectively. The OTHH-treated hydrolysates showed less favorable results compared to RSHH, but the fermentation process was favored with regard to untreated hydrolysate. These results showed that the fermentation by P. stipitis in untreated hydrolysates was strongly inhibited by toxic compounds present in the media and that treatment with S. cerevisiae promoted a significant reduction in their toxicities.
This work had as the main objective contribute for the development of a biological detoxification of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate using the Issatchenkia occidentalis CCTCC M 206097 and Issatchenkia orientalis CCTCC M 206098 yeasts. With this aim, it was done tests with hemicellulosic hydrolysate of sugarcane bagasse in different concentrations and different experimental conditions to evaluate the influence of the hydrolysate concentration, icicial pH of the hydrolysate, temperature and system agitation, on the efficiency of concentration reduction of inhibitory compound present in the sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate, without sugar concentration reduction. The evaluated yeasts showed more redutction values on the the inhibitors concentration and less sugar losses when it was used the hydrolysate five fold concentrated. At these experimets it was found that the concentration rise of D-glucose and D-Xylose favored a lower sugar consumption by the yeasts. It was also observed that after 24 h of experiment using I. occidentalis yeast the reduction of syringaldehyde concentraction (66,67%) and ferulic acid concentration (73,33%) was higher when the concentrated hydrolysate was detoxified. However, under the same conditions using I. orientalis it was observed a higher reduction on the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (80%) and furfural (56,25%). Based on the potential reducion of these inhibitors in concentrated sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate, it was performed studies to evaluate the influence of initial pH (4,0 or 7,0), temperature (23 to 37°C) and system agitation (100 to 300 rpm) on the reduction percentage of total inhibitors concentration, using a factorial experimental design 2 3 with three repetitions in the central point. According to the results, it was observed that independent of the microrganism used as detoxificant agent of the sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate, the largest reduction percentage of the total inhibitors concentration was obtained using all the factors evaluated in their low levels. The results obtained in this work showed the potential of the yeasts Issatchenkia occidentalis CCTCC M 206097 and Issatchenkia orientalis CCTCC M 206098 asdetoxificant agent of hemicellulosic hydrolysate of sugarcane bagasse.
