Effects of Inoculum Size on Solid-Phase Fermentation of Fodder Beets for Fuel Ethanol Production

Abstract: This fuel ethanol study examined the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae inoculum size on solid-phase fermentation of fodder beet pulp. A 5% inoculum (wt/wt) resulted in rapid yeast and ethanol (9.1% [vol/vol]) production. Higher inocula showed no advantages. Lower inocula resulted in lowered final yeast populations and increased fermentation times.

“…Additionally, inoculation affects the growth of microorganisms and the accumulation of metabolites. Excessive inoculation accelerates the consumption of the medium, whereas low-inoculum cell concentrations prolong the log phase [43,44], both of which reduce the efficiency of fermentation. Besides, culture temperature, rotation speed, and culture time affect the secretion after fermentation in different degrees [45].…”

“…On one hand, excessive inoculation will speed up the consumption of the medium and lead to the strain being reached in advance in the stationary phase and decline phase. On the other hand, low inoculum volume and cell concentration will extend the logarithmic phase [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…Astuti (2003), stated that the competition in the use of substrate effected to the growth of culture becomes poor, because the increasing of cells number or biomass become low. According to Gibbson and Westby (1986), too high inoculum concentrations can lead to a reduction in cell viability. Anggriani et al (2012), adding that too high bacterial populations can lead to the rivalry of the similar types of bacteria (Bacillus sp) and indigenous microorganisms in nutrient or substrate intake that eventually the bacterial activity become inhibited.…”
