Comparative Studies of Oleaginous Fungal Strains (Mucor circinelloides and Trichoderma reesei) for Effective Wastewater Treatment and Bio-Oil Production

Abstract: Biological wastewater treatment typically requires the use of bacteria for degradation of carbonaceous and nitrogenous compounds present in wastewater. The high lipid containing biomass can be used to extract oil and the contents can be termed as bio-oil (or biodiesel or myco-diesel after transesterification). The separate experiments were conducted on actual wastewater samples with 5% v/v inoculum of Mucor circinelloides MTCC1297 and Trichoderma reesei NCIM992 strains. The observed reductions in chemical oxyg… Show more

“…This process is dependent on ER alkaneinducible cytochrome P450 in T. harzianum (507). The ability to metabolize alkanes in an industrial context is attractive and would allow the production of value-added products from contaminated substrates, as has been explored using an oleaginous strain of T. reesei (508).…”

“…T. reesei had a yield of 28.7% with a dry cell weight (DCW) of 14.60 g/L comparable to a report where T. reesei isolated from wood could produce 30 g/L and 32.4% of DCW (Bharathiraja et al, 2017). The potential of strains of M. circinelloides and T. reesei as oleaginous fungi and feedstock for biodiesel production has been widely reported (Bhanja et al, 2014;Qaio et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2018;Kumar et al, 2014;Bharathiraja et al, 2017).…”

“…Concerning Mucor circinelloides oil (MU), it displayed a very low percent of triglycerides, with a very high amount of FFAs, monoglycerides and diglycerides (Table ). Although these properties position MU oil as an inadequate raw material for biodiesel synthesis, previous assays using alkaline transesterification reported high conversion values and a high biodiesel quality . Interestingly, during the identification of the mass spectroscopy ions of MU oil, an unusual unsaturated 18:X acyl glyceride, not yet identified, was detected as free, mono and diglyceride, showing a relevant peak area (Supporting Information Table S3).…”

“…During the last years, strains of the genus Mucor have gained attention because of their high contents in lipids and the good growth rate of the strains . This positions the oils produced by Mucor yeasts as interesting potential biofuel feedstocks, and specifically Mucor circinelloides oil, which is already being studied for transesterification in biodiesel production . Among other nonfood, alternative oils for biofuel production are the waste cooking oils .…”
