Microbial pretreatment of cotton stalks by solid state cultivation of Phanerochaete chrysosporium

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY, 99(14), 6556–6564.

author keywords: cotton stalk; pretreatment; phanerochaete chrysosporium; bioethanol; lignin
MeSH headings : Biomass; Gossypium / microbiology; Lignin / metabolism; Phanerochaete / growth & development
TL;DR: Moisture relationships will be significant to the design of an effective microbial pretreatment process using SSC technology, and solid state cultivation at 75% M.C. without salts was the most preferable pretreatment resulting in 27% lignin degradation, 71.1% solids recovery and 41.6% availability of carbohydrates over a period of 14 days.

By: M. Chinn n , S. Nokes * & H. Strobel*

author keywords: C. thermocellum; Avicel; solid substrate cultivation (SSC); moisture content; thermophilic
MeSH headings : Cellulose / metabolism; Clostridium thermocellum / growth & development; Clostridium thermocellum / metabolism; Water / chemistry
TL;DR: Performance of C. thermocellum 27405 in SSC was more dependent on the kinetic properties rather than the thermodynamic properties of substrate moisture content, and cessation of metabolism was observed prior to complete Avicel conversion; the mechanisms involved need further investigation.
