Lactic acid production from wheat straw hemicellulose hydrolysate by Lactobacillus pentosus and Lactobacillus brevis

Sustainable biocomposites based on autohydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates

“…Lactobacillus pentosus can convert the xylose contained in hemicellulosic hydrolysates into equimolecular amounts of lactic acid and acetic acid at nearly quantitative yields [5][6][7]. The processing of 100 kg of rice husks or Eucalyptus wood by autohydrolysis-posthydrolysisfermentation would result in stoichiometric yieds of 5.68 and 9.15 kg lactic acid, respectively; as well as in stoichiometric yields of 3.78 and 6.1 kg acetic acid, respectively.…”

Use of wheat straw and chicken feather hydrolysates as a complete medium for lactic acid production

“…It is not surprising (Gobbetti et al 2000;Bustos et al 2007;Zhu et al 2007;Givry et al 2008) that the tested strains were able to ferment pentose sugars (arabinose and xylose) and convert them to lactic acid. Although the yield of lactic acid on pentose sugars is usually considerably lower compared to glucose (Garde et al 2002), both selected strains were able to use both xylose and arabinose for lactic acid production (Table 2); this ability qualified them as potential candidates for wheat straw hydrolysate fermentation.…”

The Current Status and Future Expectations in Industrial Production of Lactic Acid by Lactic Acid Bacteria

“…This is however focused on heterofermentative LAB as they are naturally able to utilize pentoses and especially Lb. brevis as it has been shown to have endogenous beta-xylosidase activity [68]. Another approach is based on L. lactis IO-1 strain being able to metabolize xylose both via PKP and PPP [69].…”
