Journal ArticleDOI
Ethanol fermentation from biomass resources: current state and prospects.
Yan Lin,Shuzo Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: The prospects included are fermentation technology converting xylose to ethanol, cellulase enzyme utilized in the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials, immobilization of the microorganism in large systems, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, and sugar conversion into ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of thermochemical pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) were investigated in terms of VSS solubilization and methane production by batch experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting ethanol fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermotolerant ability of S. cerevisiae to grow and ferment glucose at elevated temperatures similar to the optima for saccharification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological Removal and Recovery of Toxic Heavy Metals in Water Environment
Tetsuro Kikuchi,Shuzo Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of biological methods to remove and detoxify toxic heavy metals and metalloids from polluted water and sediments is presented, including biosorption, bioaccumulation, oxidation/reduction, leaching, precipitation, volatilization, degradation, and phytoremediation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substrate and Product Inhibition on Yeast Performance in Ethanol Fermentation
TL;DR: In this article, a batch fermentation utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae was conducted to determine the inhibitory effects of highly concentrated substrate and product levels on yeast, and the results showed an obvious increase in cell growth and ethanol production with increasing substrate dosage.
