Solid state bioconversion (SSB) of lignocellulosic material oil palm biomass (OPB)
generated from palm oil industries as waste was conducted by evaluating the enzyme production
through filamentous fungus in lab-scale experiment. OPB in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB)
was used as the solid substrate and treated with the fungus Trichoderma harzianum to produce
cellulase. The results presented in this study revealed that the higher cellulase activity of 0.0413 unit
was achieved at the day 3 of fermentation. While the optimum study indicated the enzyme production
of 0.0433 unit with moisture content of 50%, 0.0413 unit with 5% v/w of inoculum size and 0.0413
unit with co-substrate concentration of 2% (w/w) at days 9, 9 and 12 of fungal treatment, respectively.
The parameters glucosamine and reducing sugar were observed to evaluate the growth and substrate
utilization in the experiment
A laboratory-scale study of bioconversion of local lignocellulosic material, oil palm biomass (OPB) was conducted by evaluating the enzyme production through microbial treatment in solid state bioconversion (SSB). OPB in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB) was used as a solid substrate and treated with the white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, to produce ligninase. The results showed that the highest ligninase activity of 400.27 U/liter was obtained at day 12 of fermentation. While the optimum study indicated the enzyme production of 1472.8 U/liter with moisture content of 50%, 578.7 U/liter with 10% v/w of inoculum size, and 721.8 U/liter with co-substrate concentration of 1% (w/w) at days 9, 9 and 12 of fungal treatment, respectively. The parameters glucosamine and reducing sugar were observed to evaluate the growth and substrate utilization in the experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
