Statistical optimization of cellulases by Talaromyces thermophilus utilizing Saccharum spontaneum, a novel substrate

BACKGROUND: At present, cellulases are the most important enzymes worldwide, and their demand has been increasing in the industrial sector owing to their notable hydrolysis capability. RESULTS: In the present study, contrary to conventional techniques, three physical parameters were statistically optimiz...

Optimization of production of xylanases with low cellulases in Fusarium solani by means of a solid state fermentation using statistical experimental design

Rev. argent. microbiol; 52 (4), 2020
Resumen La demanda de xilanasas fúngicas en los procesos biotecnológicos industriales muestra un claro aumento en todo el mundo, por lo que hay un interés en ajustar las condiciones de producción de xilanasas microbianas. En este estudio se optimizó la capacidad del hongo Fusarium solani para produc...

Características do trato digestivo, metabolizabilidade e retenção de nutrientes em frangos de corte alimentados com complexo enzimático

The objective was to evaluate the digestive tract characteristics, metabolizability and nutrient retention of broilers fed diets supplemented with enzyme complex (EC). To evaluate the characteristics of the digestive tract 600 female Cobb 500 birds were used, distributed in a completely randomized design...

Lentinus crinitus response to blue light on carbohydrate-active enzymes

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (3), 2020
Fungi are capable of sensing light from ultraviolet to far-red and they use light as a source of information about the environment anticipating stress and adverse conditions. Lentinus crinitus is a lignin-degrading fungus which produces laccase and other enzymes of biotechnological interest. The effect o...

Newly Isolated Penicillium sp. for Cellulolytic Enzyme Production in Soybean Hull Residue

Abstract (1) Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the production and partial characterization of xylanase and avicelase by a newly isolated Penicillium sp. in solid-state fermentation, using soybean hulls as substrate. (2) Methods: Temperature, time, number of spores, and substrate moist...

Assessment of wasteland derived biomass for bioethanol production

Background: The bioethanol produced from biomass is a promising alternative fuel. The lignocellulose from marginal areas or wasteland could be a promising raw material for bioethanol production because it is present in large quantities, is cheap, renewable and has favorable environmental properties. Desp...

Purification and biochemical characterization of a novel thermophilic exo-β-1, 3-glucanase from the thermophile biomass-degrading fungus Thielavia terrestris Co3Bag1

Background: The aim of this work was to purify and characterize exo-β-1,3-glucanase, namely, TtBgnA, from the thermophilic fungus Thielavia terrestris Co3Bag1 and to identify the purified enzyme. Results: The thermophilic biomass-degrading fungus T. terrestris Co3Bag1 displayed β-1,3-glucanase activity...

Efeito das glicosilações sobre a estrutura e dinâmica da celulase Cel7A de Trichoderma reesei

Celulases fúngicas têm sido usadas para degradar a biomassa lignocelulósica para a produção de bioetanol. Celulases industriais como Cel7A de Trichoderma reesei (TrCel7A) são críticas neste processo. A compreensão da estrutura e dinâmica é crucial para a reengenharia da atividade celulolítica....

Multi-enzyme complex of white rot fungi in saccharification of lignocellulosic material

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT The multi-enzyme complex (crude extract) of white rot fungi Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Trametes versicolor, Pycnosporus sanguineus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were characterized, evaluated in the hydrolysis of pretreated pulps of sorghum straw and compared efficiency with commer...

Bacillus subtilis with endocellulase and exocellulase activities isolated in the thermophilic phase from composting with coffee residues

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (3), 2018
The goal of this study was to isolate, select and characterize bacteria with cellulolytic activity from two different coffee residue composting piles, one of which had an internal temperature of 57 -#9702;C and pH 5.5 and the other, a temperature of 61 -#9702;C, and pH 9.3. Culture media were manipulated...
