TL;DR: The level of protease activity was considerably decreased in optimized medium, thus helping to preserve the xylanase activity and demonstrating another advantage of applying statistical experimental design.

TL;DR: HMBC and NOESY experiments showed that hexenuronic acid is attached beta-elimination product of 4-O-methylglucuronic Acid and is formed during kraft pulping, and NoESY data further indicated that Hexenuonic acid protrudes from the main xylan chain.

TL;DR: This investigation demonstrated that integration of hydrolysis of CFAX, fermentation to ABE, and recovery of ABE in a single system is an economically attractive process.
Abstract: Acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) were produced from corn fiber arabinoxylan (CFAX) and CFAX sugars (glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose) using Clostridium acetobutylicum P260. In mixed sugar (glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose) fermentation, the culture preferred glucose and arabinose over galactose and xylose. Under the experimental conditions, CFAX (60 g/L) was not fermented until either 5 g/L xylose or glucose plus xylanase enzyme were added to support initial growth and fermentation. In this system, C. acetobutylicum produced 9.60 g/L ABE from CFAX and xylose. This experiment resulted in a yield and productivity of 0.41 and 0.20 g/L x h, respectively. In the integrated hydrolysis, fermentation, and recovery process, 60 g/L CFAX and 5 g/L xylose produced 24.67 g/L ABE and resulted in a higher yield (0.44) and a higher productivity (0.47 g/L x h). CFAX was hydrolyzed by xylan-hydrolyzing enzymes, and ABE were recovered by gas stripping. This investigation demonstrated that integration of hydrolysis of CFAX, fermentation to ABE, and recovery of ABE in a single system is an economically attractive process. It is suggested that the culture be further developed to hydrolyze CFAX and utilize all xylan sugars simultaneously. This would further increase productivity of the reactor.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the production of CMCase and xylanase by a Brazilian strain of Thermoascus aurantiacus in solid state fermentation (SSF) using different agricultural residues (wheat bran, sugarcane bagasse, orange bagasse and corn straw) as substrates without enrichment of the medium and characterized the crude enzymes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of substrate concentration, pH, and cultivation time on xylanase from Penicillium oxalicum ZH-30 were optimized by statistical analysis using response surface methodology.
