Challenges in ethanol production withFusarium oxysporumthrough consolidated bioprocessing

Fatty acid methyl ester analysis of Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from fruit pulps for biodiesel production using GC-MS spectrometry

“…For biodiesel production, the development of microorganisms or improved strains with high lipid content will turn into a potential and promising pathway in the future. The manipulation and regulation of microbial lipid will unlock and widen the opportunities for academic research to demonstrate its potentiality for industrial application in biodiesel production [33][34][35]. Hence, subsequent studies should be carried out based on the determination of fatty acid profiling using this wastewater as the source of suitable microbial strains.…”

Advances in consolidated bioprocessing systems for bioethanol and butanol production from biomass: a comprehensive review

“…Previously, a few studies have shown the capability of this fungus as CBP organism for ethanol production from various cellulosic substrates, including untreated and pre-treated straw (Christakopoulos et al, 1989(Christakopoulos et al, , 1991Ali et al, 2012;Hossain et al, 2012), brewer's spent grain (Xiros and Christakopoulos, 2009) (Table 3). Such capability is due to the fact that F. oxysporum has an efficient cellulolytic system and is able to produce the enzymes necessary to degrade lignocellulosic biomass to sugars and also ferment both pentose and hexose sugars to ethanol under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions (Schuster and Chinn, 2013;Ali et al, 2014;Anasontzis et al, 2014). These studies showed that based on the strain used and also the methodology of CBP ethanol production, this fungus was able to produce up to 0.35 g ethanol/g cellulose ( Table 3).…”

“…However, in order to become an economically suitable CBP organism, a better understanding of the hydrolysing and ethanol production pathways of this fungus as well as the mechanisms involved and bottlenecks faced is required. Fortunately, recently some studies have been devoted to understanding details of ethanol production in F. oxysporum which will be useful for development of CBP ethanol production by this fungus (Ali et al, 2012(Ali et al, , 2013(Ali et al, , 2014Hennesy et al, 2013;Anasontzis et al, 2014).…”

Saccharification of delignified rice straw by Fusarium oxysporum for ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

“…Ethanol produced from saccharified RS was more than that when saccharified CMC was used, as in the aerated and non-aerated conditions the fungi gave 1.4µl/ml and 2.85µl/ml with RS, respectively. This might be due to the fungal ability to ferment pentoses released from saccharified RS after finishing fermentation of hexoses in the same source (Anasontzis and Christakopoulos, 2014). That was obvious from the semi stable level of ethanol produced during non-aerated fermentation of both saccharified CMC and RS after 6 days.…”

“…In "Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation" (SHF); hydrolysis and fermentation are applied sequentially in different bioreactors, while in "Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation" (SSF); cellulose hydrolysis and hexose fermentation are applied simultaneously in the same bioreactor (Shaibani et al, 2012). Anasontzis and Christakopoulos (2014) stated that F. oxysporum was able to ferment monosaccharides to ethanol under anaerobic or micro-aerobic conditions. It bypasses the yeast by its ability to ferment pentoses, while yeast can ferment hexoses faster and better than fungi.…”
