Journal ArticleDOI
Production of pectinases by solid-state fermentation of a mixture of citrus waste and sugarcane bagasse in a pilot-scale packed-bed bioreactor
Alessandra Biz,Anelize Terezinha Jung Finkler,Luana Oliveira Pitol,Bruna Schweitzer Medina,Nadia Krieger,David A. Mitchell +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Aspergillus oryzae was used in a pilot-scale packed-bed bioreactor, on 15 kg of a substrate containing 51.6% citrus pulp and 48.4% sugarcane bagasse (w/w, dry basis).
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of pectinases by solid-state fermentation in a pilot-scale packed-bed bioreactor
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors scaled up the production of pectinases in packed-bed bioreactors, from 12 to 30 kg of dry substrate, the biggest scale yet reported for Pectinase production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent agitation contributes to uniformity across the bed during pectinase production by Aspergillus niger grown in solid-state fermentation in a pilot-scale packed-bed bioreactor
Anelize Terezinha Jung Finkler,Alessandra Biz,Luana Oliveira Pitol,Bruna Schweitzer Medina,Henrique Luithardt,Luiz Fernando de Lima Luz,Nadia Krieger,David A. Mitchell +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used intermittent agitation as a strategy to minimize agglomeration, comparing one agitation (10h), three agitations (at 8, 10 and 12h) and five agitations(every 2h from 8 to 16h).
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization studies to develop a low-cost medium for production of the lipases of Rhizopus microsporus by solid-state fermentation and scale-up of the process to a pilot packed-bed bioreactor
Luana Oliveira Pitol,Anelize Terezinha Jung Finkler,Glauco Silva Dias,Amanda Souza Machado,Gisella Maria Zanin,David A. Mitchell,Nadia Krieger +6 more
TL;DR: This work scaled up the production of FS containing the lipases of Rhizopus microsporus, using a low-cost medium containing wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse, supplemented only with urea to produce the largest scale yet reported for lipase production in SSF.
Book ChapterDOI
Design and Operation of a Pilot-Scale Packed-Bed Bioreactor for the Production of Enzymes by Solid-State Fermentation.
David A. Mitchell,Luana Oliveira Pitol,Alessandra Biz,Anelize Terezinha Jung Finkler,Luiz Fernando de Lima Luz,Nadia Krieger +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, at pilot scale, special attention must be given to several aspects that are not usually problematic when one works with laboratory-scale SSF bioreactors, and how a mathematical model that describes heat and water transfer in the bed can be a useful tool in developing appropriate control schemes.
