为实现秸秆的资源化利用与高铁酸钾制备废液的再利用,以山西储量丰富的玉米秸秆(CS )、高粱秸秆(SS )和谷子秸秆(MS )为原料,采用CFS 进行预处理,对比3种秸秆的酶解糖化率,分析秸秆的理化结构变化。
结果表明,CFS 预处理中碱和氧化剂共同参与了3种秸秆的降解,促进了酶解糖化率;在最佳预处理时间24 h 下,CS 、SS 和MS 的还原糖产量分别较对照提高252.77%、236.39%、216.66%,其中CS 的酶解效率最高;组分分析表明,CFS 处理能有效去除3种秸秆中木质素成分,增加纤维素相对含量,进而有利于纤维素酶的可及性;结构分析显示,CFS 处理后,3种秸秆的理化结构发生了不同程度变化,粗糙度增加,官能团发生断裂,纤维结晶度升高,热稳定性变差。
在3种秸秆中,CS 结构变化最明显,更有利于被生物转化。
综上,CFS 预处理可改变作物秸秆的理化结构,破坏其致密结构,促进后续酶解效率,是一种理想的预处理技术。

It contains a lot of alkali (OH -) and oxidant(ClO - and Fe 6+), which has the potential to destroy the recalcitrant structure of lignocellulose and improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis. In order to realize the utilization of straw resources and reuse of preparation waste liquid of potassium ferrate, in this paper, corn straw(CS), sorghum straw(SS), and millet straw(MS), which are abundant in Shanxi province, were pretreated with CFS, the enzymolysis and saccharification rates of the three kinds of straw were compared, and the change of physicochemical structure of the straw was analyzed. The results showed that the alkali and oxidant in the pretreatment of CFS were involved in the degradation of three kinds of straw, which promoted the enzymatic hydrolysis rate and saccharification rate. Under the optimal pretreatment time of 24 h, the reducing sugar yield of CS, SS, and MS was increased by 252.77%, 236.39%, and 216.66% compared with that of the control, respectively, and the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of CS was the highest. Component analysis showed that CFS treatment could effectively remove lignin in three kinds of straw and increase the relative content of cellulose, which was beneficial to the accessibility of cellulase. Structural analysis showed that after CFS treatment, the physicochemical structure of the three kinds of straw changed in different degrees, roughness increased, functional group fractured, fiber crystallinity increased, and thermal stability decreased. Among the three kinds of straw, CS had the most obvious structural change and was more conducive to biotransformation. In conclusion, CFS pretreatment could change the physicochemical structure of crop straws, destroy the dense structure and promote the efficiency of subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis, so it was an ideal pretreatment technology.Key words :composite ferrate solution(CFS); pretreatment; crop straw; reducing sugar yield; physicochemical structuredoidoi:10.3969/j.issn.1002-2481.2023.12.11收稿日期:2023-01-04基金项目:山西省高等学校科技创新项目(2020L0137);山西农业大学科技创新基金项目 (2018YJ39);山西省优秀博士来晋工作奖励基金(SXYBKY201803);国家自然科学基金(52100149);山西省水利科学技术研究与推广项目(2022GM034)作者简介:田 鑫(1997-),女,山西汾阳人,在读硕士,研究方向:农业环境保护与废弃物资源化利用。
生物质能工业我国能源短缺,随着经济的迅速发展和对环保标准要求的逐步提高,迫切需要开发新的、清洁的可替代能源。
在众多可能替代化石燃料的能源中,生物质以其可再生、产量巨大、可储存等优点而引人注目。
而且生物质能是唯一一种可以转换为清洁燃料的可再生能源,其利用技术和化石燃料的利用方式具有很大的兼容性,因此以生物质作为原料不但可以弥补化石燃料的不足,缓解过分依赖大量进口石油的被动局面,实现我国能源安全战略,而且达到保护生态环境的目的。
对于我国这样一个幅员辽阔的农业大国来说,单就农作物秸秆而言,年产量高达7亿多吨,相当于3.5亿吨标准煤。
但目前,如此巨大的秸秆资源非但没有得到有效利用,反而由于就地焚烧已成为我国一大社会公害。
因此,在我国开发利用秸秆生产燃料乙醇和裂解油既具有现实意义,又可推动我国甚至世界范围内以秸秆等农作物废弃物为代表的生物质生产液体燃料更上层楼。
虽然秸秆和木材同属于木质纤维素,都有纤维素、半纤维素和木质素组成(4:3:3),然而在结构和化学组成却有较大的差异,因而秸秆和木材的转化特性不相同。
在秸秆中各种组分的转化特性也不同的,其转化反应特性和转化产品也随着秸秆组分结构的不同而变化。
例如,秸秆生物转化过程主要利用的是秸秆中的纤维素,对木质素和半纤维素生物转化效率低,难于适应工业化的要求。
而秸秆快速热解得到的液体产物中含有大量的酸类(如乙酸)产品,木材热解则以醇类和酮类产品为主。
这表明,秸秆中纤维素、半纤维素和灰分影响了热解过程产生液体产物的品位。
为解决在秸秆转化过程中采用单一的生物或热转化方式存在的问题,应将生物转化技术和快速热解技术有机结合起来,避免在秸秆原料转化液体燃料研究上,套用或沿用木材的技术,传统的生物转化、热化学转化过程把秸秆作为性质“单一组分”的原料,致使其转化的技术经济关久攻不破,因此,为秸秆高效转化的根本出路在于其生物量的全利用,新的高效转化过程应该建立在秸秆组分分离后的分级定向转化以及转化过程间的集成优化原则之上。

摘要安徽省拥有丰富的竹笋资源。
竹笋作为我国一种传统食材,含有多种营养物质和活性物质,并具有较高的食用价值和保健功能。
为充分利用竹笋资源,本论文对三种竹笋的基本成分进行测定,研究了竹笋壳中多酚类物质的提取工艺,竹笋膳食纤维的制备工艺,同时探讨了三种竹笋食品的加工和检测方法。
为进一步开发竹笋资源提供了一定的理论依据。
试验测定了雷竹笋、燕竹笋、毛竹笋三种竹笋中基本成分的含量:含水率约为84.24%-91.36%,灰分含量约为5.93%-10.35%,粗纤维含量约为1.27%-3.37%,Vc含量约为5.8mg/g-9.2mg/g,,总糖含量(干样,以下同)约为10.8%-22.5%,还原糖含量约为8.53%-10.5%,蛋白质含量约为 1.1%-3.78%,粗脂肪含量约为0.98%-1.89%,黄酮含量约为0.42%-0.91%。
以燕竹笋壳为原料,运用超声波辅助提取技术对其中多酚类物质进行提取,以其多酚提取率作为指标,考察超声功率、提取时间、乙醇浓度、料液比对多酚提取率的影响,并利用响应面法对燕竹笋壳多酚提取工艺进行分析,得到最佳工艺参数为:超声功率200W,提取时间40.2min,乙醇浓度42%,料液比1:50.5。
在此条件下,燕竹笋壳多酚的理论提取得率为 5.50%,实际平均提取得率为5.57%,理论预测值与实际值相对误差为1.27%。
以燕竹笋粉为原料分别采用化学法、酶解法、发酵法制备竹笋膳食纤维,以IDF和SDF的含量以及溶胀性、持水力等指标作为考察依据,得到结论:发酵法得到的膳食纤维中SDF的含量明显高于化学法和酶解法。
以燕竹笋为原料,采用霉菌发酵法制备膳食纤维,以其中SDF含量作为指标,考察接菌比例、发酵温度、发酵时间和发酵基质初始pH对SDF含量的影响,并利用正交分析法对膳食纤维制备工艺进行分析,得到最佳工艺参数为:接菌比例绿色木霉:黑曲霉=2:1,发酵基质pH为8,在28℃条件下震荡培养48h。
木质纤维素糖化发酵工艺研究进展前言目前,世界乙醇生产主要以淀粉类(粮食作物为主,如玉米、木薯等)和糖类(如甘蔗、甜菜等)[1-2]作为发酵原料.采用微生物法发酵生产乙醇技术成熟,但是高昂的原料成本使粮食发酵生产乙醇的工业应用受到限制,同时存在与人争粮或与粮争地等弊端,并且导致粮食价格持续走高,因此寻找新的原料势在必行.所以现在科学家把目光投向成本更为低廉、来源更广泛的木质纤维素原料[3].它不仅包括秸秆等农业废弃物,城市固体废弃物、办公废纸、杂草、锯末等以及市政废水中的固体部分[4].地球上每年植物光合作用的生物量可达2 000亿 t,其中大部分为木质纤维素类.它的主要成分是纤维素、木质素、半纤维素.在植物组织中木质素与半纤维素以共价键形式结合,并将纤维素分子包埋其中,形成一种坚固的天然屏障,使一般微生物很难进入使其降解。
木质纤维素原料生产燃料乙醇的过程主要包括预处理、糖化、发酵等,其预处理是生物转化的关键步骤,影响整个纤维素酒精生产过程.因此高效、便捷的预处理技术是木质纤维素原料生产燃料乙醇的关键所在.一、分步糖化和发酵(SHF)前处理后的木质纤维素经水解糖化生成葡萄糖,然后在另一反应器中进行发酵转化为乙醇,这种糖化发酵工艺被称为分步糖化和发酵。
其主要优点是糖化和发酵都能在各自最优条件下进行——纤维素酶水解糖化所需的最适温度在 45~5℃,而大多数发酵产乙醇的微生物最适温度在 28~37 ℃[5]。
缺点是糖化产物葡萄糖和纤维二糖的积累会抑制纤维素酶的活力,最终导致产率的降低。
研究发现,纤维二糖的浓度达到 6 g/L 时,纤维素酶的活力就将降低 60%,葡萄糖对纤维素酶的抑制作用则没有那么明显,但是,它会对β-葡糖苷酶(一种关键的纤维素水解酶)产生强烈的抑制,葡萄糖浓度达到3 g/L时,β-葡糖苷酶的活力就将降低75%。
此外,水解用的纤维素酶(主要来自于真菌)不仅组分相对单一而且价格昂贵,当其活力受到抑制时,就得增加用量,最终导致使用成本的提高。

Toward an Aggregated Understanding of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose:Noncomplexed Cellulase SystemsYi-Heng Percival Zhang,1Lee R.Lynd 1,21Thayer School of Engineering,Dartmouth College,Hanover,New Hampshire 03755;e-mail:percival.zhang @,Lee.R.Lynd @ 2Department of Biological Sciences,Dartmouth College,Hanover,New Hampshire 03755Received 2June 2004;accepted 29July 2004Published online 10November 2004in Wiley InterScience ().DOI:10.1002/bit.20282Abstract:Information pertaining to enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by noncomplexed cellulase enzyme systems is reviewed with a particular emphasis on development of aggregated understanding incorporating substrate features in addition to concentration and multiple cellulase compo-nents.Topics considered include properties of cellulose,adsorption,cellulose hydrolysis,and quantitative models.A classification scheme is proposed for quantitative models for enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose based on the number of solubilizing activities and substrate state variables in-cluded.We suggest that it is timely to revisit and reinvig-orate functional modeling of cellulose hydrolysis,and that this would be highly beneficial if not necessary in order to bring to bear the large volume of information available on cellulase components on the primary applications that motivate interest in the subject.B 2004Wiley Periodicals,Inc.Keywords:adsorption;cellulose;cellulase;hydrolysis;ki-netic modelINTRODUCTIONThe potential importance of cellulose hydrolysis in the con-text of conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals is widely recognized (Lynd et al.,1991,1999;Himmel et al.,1999),and cellulose hydrolysis also represents one of the largest material flows in the global carbon cycle (Falkowski et al.,2000).The quantity of scientific information on components of cellulose-hydrolyzing enzyme system has expanded dramatically in recent years.Over the 12-year period from 1991to 2003,for example,the number of known glycosyl hydrolases gene sequences has increased from f 300to >10,000,and the number of cellulase crystal structures has increased from several to f 230(H.Henrissat,mun.).Also during this period,exten-sive structurally based classification schemes have been introduced for both catalytic and cellulose-binding mod-ules,and have led to new insights and hypotheses with respect to the evolution of cellulase systems (Henrissat,1991;Henrissat and Bairoch,1993,1996),updated fre-quently at http//:rs.mrs.fr/CAZY.In order for the large volume of available information on cellulase components to be brought to bear on the primary applications that motivate interest in cellulose hydrolysis,e.g.,conversion of renewably produced biomass to fuels and commodity chemicals,it is necessary to incorporate this information into an understanding of cellulase systems comprised of multiple components with distinct modes of action.The situation is further complicated because the action of cellulase enzyme systems is impacted by substrate properties in addition to concentration—such as degree of polymerization,crystallinity,accessible area,the presence of lignin—which depend on the particular substrate being investigated and change as the reaction proceeds.In the course of seeking an ‘‘aggregated’’understanding of enzy-matic hydrolysis of cellulose that incorporates informa-tion about cellulase components and substrate features in addition to concentration,quantitative models are tremen-dously valuable.Of particular importance,measured pa-rameters for cellulase components and substrates could in principle be incorporated into models used to predict the behavior of multicomponent cellulase enzyme parison of such predictions to experimental measure-ments is the most systematic and rigorous means available by which to test whether understanding of cellulase compo-nents and their interactions is sufficient to explain a given observation.In addition,once a quantitative model is vali-dated,it can be used to rapidly formulate new hypotheses of significance in both fundamental and applied contexts.B 2004Wiley Periodicals,Inc.Correspondence to:Y.-H.P.Zhang or L.R.LyndContract grant sponsors:Department of Energy and National Institute of Standards and TechnologyContract grant numbers:DE-FG02-02ER15350and 60NANB1D0064REVIEWThis article reviews available information on enzymatic hydrolysis by noncomplexed cellulase systems;that is,sys-tems based on components that act discretely rather than as stable complexes(Lamed et al.,1983;Tomme et al., 1995a).A considerable portion of this review is spent on the properties of cellulose in light of the central role such properties play in mechanistically based quantitative models of cellulose hydrolysis.In particular,the following section considers crystallinity,degree of polymerization, accessibility,preparation and properties of model sub-strates,and pretreated lignocellulosic materials.The section Cellulase Adsorption is devoted to adsorption leading to the formation of cellulose–cellulase complexes,including ad-sorption models,reversibility,and enzyme mobility,as well as inferred accessibility of cellulose from cellulase adsorp-tion.Thereafter,mechanistic understanding of cellulose hydrolysis by noncomplexed systems is addressed in Cellulose Hydrolysis,with attention given to concep-tual understanding of cellulose hydrolysis,features of the widely studied Trichoderma reesei cellulase system,docu-mentation and understanding of synergism among cellu-lase components,and a summary of current mechanistic understanding.The section Quantitative Models presents a classification scheme and summarizes features of mod-els reported in the literature.The final section offers con-cluding perspectives and outlines outstanding challenges associated with understanding and modeling noncomplexed cellulase systems.Since our primary focus is on the function of cellulases rather than their structure,we use the older, functionally defined nomenclature rather than the newer nomenclature based on amino-acid sequence and molecu-lar structure.CELLULOSEAll cellulose is produced biosynthetically.While cellulose production by photosynthetic higher plants and algae is thought to be by far the most important in terms of global carbon flows,cellulose production by nonphotosynthetic organisms(certain bacteria,marine invertebrates,fungi, slime molds and amoebae)has also been documented (Coughlan,1985;Jarvis,2003;Lynd et al.,2002;Tomme et al.,1995a).Cellulose is a linear condensation polymer consisting of D-anhydroglucopyranose joined together by h-1,4-glycosidic bonds.Anhydrocellobiose is the repeating unit of cellulose,since adjacent anhydroglucose mole-cules are rotated180j with respect to their neighbors (Fig.1a).This rotation causes cellulose to be highly sym-metrical,since each side of the chain has an equal number of hydroxyl groups.Coupling of adjacent cellulose mol-ecules by hydrogen bonds and van der Waal’s forces re-sults in a parallel alignment and a crystalline structure. The extensive hydrogen bonds of interchain(2per anhy-droglucopyranose)and intrachain(2f3per anhydrogluco-pyranose)produces straight,stable supramolecular fibers of great tensile strength(Gardner and Blackwell,1974a,b;Krassig,1993;Nevell and Zeronian,1985).In contrast, starch contains amylose and amylopectin connected by a-1,4and to some extent a-1,6glucosidic bonds,forming a tightly coiled helical structure maintained by interchain hydrogen bonds(Buleon et al.,1998;Calvert,1997).Na-tive cellulose,referred to as cellulose I,has two distinct crystallite forms,I a,which is dominant in bacterial and algal cellulose,and I h,which is dominant in higher plants (Atalla and Vanderhart,1984).Native cellulose(cellulose I) can be converted to other crystalline forms(II–IV)by var-ious treatments(Klein and Snodgrass,1993;Krassig,1993; O’Sullivan,1997).Cellulose exist as sheets of glucopyranose rings lying in a plane with successive sheets stacked on top of each other to form a three-dimensional particle.Because of this ar-rangement,the surface of a cellulose particle has distinct ‘‘faces’’that interact with the aqueous environment and cellulase enzymes.The six carbons in the glucopyranose ring and internal h-glucosidic bonds lie in the ab plane or ‘‘110’’face,whereas the ac plane or11¯0face consists of the edges of rings(see Fig.1b).Additional faces present reducing and nonreducing ends,respectively.The repeating unit of the110face is the cellobiose lattice,which mea-sures1.04nm along the axis of the cellulose molecule and 0.54nm in the perpendicular direction.About100cellu-lose glucans are aggregated into elementary fibrils with a crystalline width of4–5nm(O’Sullivan,1997),and bunches of elementary fibrils are embedded in a matrix of hemicellulose with a thickness of7–30nm.The lignifica-tion process occurs late in the process of synthesizing nat-ural fibers,so lignin is located primarily on the exterior of microfibrils where it covalently bonds to hemicellulose (Fig.1c;Klein and Snodgrass,1993).The relationship between structural features of cellu-lose and rates of enzymatic hydrolysis has been the subject of extensive study and several reviews(Converse,1993; Cowling and Kirk,1976;Lynd et al.,2002;Mansfield et al., 1999;McMillian,1994),but is still incompletely under-stood.Structural features of cellulose commonly considered as rate-impacting factors include crystallinity index,degree of polymerization,and accessible area.Crystallinity Index(CrI)Crystallinity has often been thought of as providing an indication of substrate reactivity,and is prominently fea-tured in the model of Wood(1975)as well as other models. The crystallinity of dried cellulose samples can be quan-titatively measured from the wide-range X-ray diffraction pattern(Krassig,1993).In the case of cellulose-I,the crys-tallinity index(CrI)is calculated using the formula:CrI¼1Àh am=h cr¼1Àh am=ðh totÀh amÞð1Þbased on the ratio of the height of crystalline cellulose in the002reflection at2u=22.5j(h cr)to the height of amorphous cellulose(h am),and h tot=h cr+h am.Cotton798BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING,VOL.88,NO.7,DECEMBER30,2004(Hoshino et al.,1997;Lee et al.,1982;Sinitsyn et al.,1991), bacterial cellulose from Aacetobacter xylinum(Boisset et al.,1999;Gilkes et al.,1992;Valjamae et al.,1999),and cellulose from the alga Valonia ventricosa(Boisset et al.,1999;Fierobe et al.,2002)provide examples of highly crystalline cellulose,while phosphoric acid swollen cellu-lose and ball-milled cellulose are regarded as amorphous cellulose(Hoshino et al.,1997;Lee et al.,1982;Ooshima Figure1.a:Structure of cellulose featuring repeating h1,4-linked anhydrocellobiose units.b:Cellulose I crystal.The axes of the repeating unit (cellobiose)are:a=0.817nm,b=1.04nm,and c=0.786nm.The faces of the glucopyranose rings are parallel to the ab plane(110face)of the crystal (Mosier et al.,1999).c:Organization of lignocellulose origanization into elementary fibrils and microfibrils(Klein and Snodgrass,1993).ZHANG AND LYND:NONCOMPLEXED CELLULASE SYSTEMS799et al.,1983).Common model substrates derived from bleached commercial wood pulps,such as Avicel(Wood and Bhat,1988;Wood,1988),filter paper(Henrissat et al., 1985),and Solka Floc(Bertrain and Dale,1985;Fan et al., 1980;Lee et al.,1982;Sinitsyn et al.,1991)are regarded as a blend of amorphous and crystalline forms(Gilkes et al., 1991).Typical values of CrI for various model cellulosic substrates are presented in Table I.The CrI value of cel-lulose increases after a period of water swelling due to re-crystallization(Fan et al.,1980;Lee et al.,1983;Fengel and Wegener,1984),and the variations in drying condition prior to measurement of CrI may cause differences between substrates arising from the method of substrate preparation rather than properties of the substrate per se(Lenze et al., 1990;Weimer et al.,1995).The presence of residual cells and proteins can also result in artifacts in the CrI assay (Converse,1993).Cellulose hydrolysis rates mediated by fungal cellulases are typically3–30times faster for amorphous cellulose as compared to high crystalline cellulose(Lynd et al.,2002; Table III).This observation led investigators in the1980s to postulate a model for cellulose structure consisting of amorphous and crystalline fractions(Fan et al.,1980,1981; Lee et al.,1983).If this hypothesis were correct,it would be expected that crystallinity should increase over the course of cellulose hydrolysis as a result of preferential reaction of amorphous cellulose(Betrabet and Paralikar, 1977;Ooshima et al.,1983).However,several studies have found that crystallinity does not increase during enzymatic hydrolysis(Lenze et al.,1990;Ohmine et al.,1983;Puls and Wood,1991;Schurz et al.,1985;Sinitsyn et al.,1989).Con-sidering both the uncertainty of methodologies for mea-suring CrI as well as conflicting results on the change of CrI during hydrolysis,it is difficult to conclude at this time that CrI is a key determinant of the rate of enzymatic hy-drolysis(Lynd et al.,2002;Mansfield et al.,1999). Future studies aimed at developing and applying im-proved methods would be useful to more definitively re-solve the role of CrI in impacting hydrolysis.In interpreting crystallinity data,and indeed data for all cellulose physical properties,care must be taken to distinguish correlation from cause and effect.For example,several treatments that decrease crystallinity also increase surface area,and it has been suggested that the increased hydrolysis rates observed with substrates arising from such treatments may be due to increasing adsorptive capacity rather than substrate reac-tivity(Caulfield and Moore,1974;Howell and Stuck,1975; Lee and Fan,1982).Comparing the hydrolysis rates on various sources of model cellulosic substrates,Fierobe et al. (2002)concluded that accessibility of cellulose is a more important factor than crystallinity index in determining the hydrolysis rate.Degree of PolymerizationThe degree of polymerization(DP)of cellulosic substrates determines the relative abundance of terminal and interior h-glucosidic bonds,and of substrates for exo-acting and endo-acting enzymes,respectively.DP may be defined in terms of the number average DP(DP N),weight average DP (DP W),or DP inferred from viscosity(DP V):DP N¼M nMW glu¼P N i M i P N i=MW gluð2ÞDP W¼M WMW glu¼P N i M2i P N i=MW gluð3ÞDP V¼M VMW glu¼P N i D P N i=MW gluð4Þwhere N i is the number of moles of a given fraction i having molar mass M i,M N is the number-average molecular weight,M w is the weight-average molecular weight,M V is the viscosity-average molecular weight,MW glu is the molecular weight of anhydroglucose(162g/mol),and D is viscosity.Measurement of DP begins with dissolution of cellulose using a technique that does not alter chain length. Several such methods appear satisfactory,including:1) metal complex solutions such as Cuam solution(Klemm et al.,1998)and cupriethylenediamine(Klemen-Leyer et al., 1992,1994,1996);2)forming cellulose derivatives by reacting with organic solvents(Ng and Zeikus,1980)or inorganic acids such as nitric acid(Whitaker,1957);and3) ionic solutions such as N,N-dimethylacetamide(DMAc)/ LiCl(Striegel,1997).After dissolution,DP N can be mea-sured by membrane or vapor pressure osmometry,cry-oscopy,ebullioscopy,determination of reducing end con-centration,or electron microscopy(Krassig,1993).DP W can be measured based on light scattering,sedimentation equilibrium,and X-ray small angle scattering,and DP V is measured based on viscosity.The viscosity of dissolved cellulose or cellulose derivatives has been found to equal:D¼K m M aþ1ið5ÞTable I.Summary of some physical properties of model cellulosicsubstrates.Substrate1CrI2SSA2(m2/g)DP N2F

cases ranging from 0.75to 1(Krassig,1993).Therefore,DP V can be written as:DP V ¼PN i M 1:75À2i P N i=MW glu ð6ÞSince cellulose is polydisperse,DP W z DP V >DP N .The DP N values are adequate in dealing with cellulose hydrol-ysis,and DP W and DP V frequently show a good correlation to polymer properties (Klemm et al.,1998;Krassig,1993).The distribution of DPs among a population of cellulose molecules can be measured by size exclusion chromatog-raphy (Yau et al.,1979).The reciprocal of DP corresponds to the fraction of reducing ends relative to all glucan units present (F NR ,unitless).Cellulose solubility decreases drastically with increasing DP due to intermolecular hydrogen bonds.Cellodextrins with DP from 2–6are soluble in water (Klemm et al.,1998;Miller,1963;Pereira et al.,1988),while cellodextrins from 7–13or longer are somewhat soluble in hot water (Zhang and Lynd,2003;Schmid et al.,1988).A glucan of DP =30already represents the polymer ‘‘cellulose’’in its structure and properties (Klemm et al.,1998).The DP of cellulosic substrates varies greatly,from <100to >15,000,depending on substrate origin and preparation,as shown in Figure 2.The DP of wood after pulping is reduced to 500–1,500(Bertrain and Dale,1985;Klein and Snodgrass,1993;Lee et al.,1982;Swatloski et al.,2002).After partial acid hydrolysis,the DP of Avicel is further decreased to 130–800(Hoshino et al.,1997;Ng and Zeikus,1980;Ross-Murphy,1985;Steiner et al.,1988;Wood,1985),depending on hydrolysis conditions (Dong et al.,1998)and the DP of the original substrate (Wood,1988).Similarly,the DP of natural cotton can be as high as 15,000,but is reduced to 1,000–3,000or less in the preparation of cotton linters involving treatment to accomplish dewaxing and whitening (Kleman-Leyer et al.,1992,1996;Okazaki and Moo-Young,1978;Ryu and Lee,1982),and filter paper made from cotton pulp has a DP of 500–1,000or higher (Nisizawa,1973;Kongruang et al.,2004).Bacterial cel-lulose (BC)has an average DP of 2,000–3,000(Hestrin,1963;Fierobe et al.,2002;Valjamae et al.,1999),while bacterial microcrystalline cellulose (BMCC)prepared by treatment of BC with acids ranges from 130–1,300,de-pending on hydrolysis conditions (Valjamae et al.,1999).The DP of phosphoric-acid swollen cellulose (PASC)ranges from 30to more than 1,000(Fan et al.,1980;Krassig,1985;Petre et al.,1981;Wood and McCrae,1972),depending on the DP of the starting substrate (Wood,1988;Hoshino et al.,1997),as well as the phosphoric acid incubation time and temperature (Krassig,1993).The change in DP over the course of hydrolysis for cellulosic substrates is determined by the relative propor-tion of exo-and endo-acting activities and cellulose proper-ties.Exoglucanases act on chain ends,and thus decrease DP only incrementally (Kleman-Leyer et al.,1992,1996;Srisodsuk et al.,1998).Endoglucanases act on interior portions of the chain and thus rapidly decrease DP (Kleman-Leyer et al.,1992,1994;Selby,1961;Srisodsuk et al.,1998;Whitaker,1957;Wood and McCrae,1978).Exoglucanase has been found to have a marked preference for substrates with lower DP (Wood,1975),as would be expected given the greater availability of chain ends with decreasing DP.It is well known that endoglucanase activity leads to an increase in chain ends without resulting in appreciable solubilization (Irwin et al.,1993;Kruus et al.,1995;Re-verbel-Leroy et al.,1997).We know of no indication in the literature that the rate of chain end creation by endogluca-nase is impacted by substrate DP.AccessibilityCellulase enzymes must bind to the surface of substrate particles before hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose can take place.The 3D structure of such particles (including micro-structure)in combination with the size and shape of the cellulase enzyme(s)under consideration determine whether h -glucosidic bonds are or are not accessible to enzymatic attack.Cellulosic particles have both external and internal surfaces.In general,the internal surface area of cellulose is 1–2orders higher than the external surface area (Chang et al.,1981),but this is not always the case,for example,in the case of bacterial cellulose.The internal surface area can be measured by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS),mer-cury porosimetry,water vapor sorption,and size exclusion (Grethlein,1985;Neuman and Walker,1992;Stone etal.,Figure 2.Typical DP values of cellulose and soluble cellodextrins.NC,natural cotton;NW,natural wood;P,pulp;CT,cotton linter;FP,filter paper.ZHANG AND LYND:NONCOMPLEXED CELLULASE SYSTEMS 8011969).The internal surface area of porous cellulose particles depends on the capillary structure and includes intrapar-ticulate pores(1–10nm)as well as interparticulate voids (>5A m)(Marshall and Sixsmith,1974).Grethlein(1985) found linear correlations between the initial hydrolysis rate of pretreated biomass and the pore size accessible to a molecule with a diameter of51A˚,similar to the size of T.reesei cellulase components.But the surface exposed to dextran cannot distinguish the specific active cellulose sur-face area at which enzymatic hydrolysis occurs from the surface area which is not a site for enzymatic attack(Chanzy et al.,1984;Gilkes et al.,1992;Lehtio et al.,2003),re-sulting in potential overestimation of effective cellulase-accessible area.Techniques for measuring internal surface generally do not estimate external area(Converse,1993). External surface area is closely related to shape and par-ticle size,and can be estimated by microscopic observation (Gilkes et al.,1992;Henrissat et al.,1988;Reinikainen et al., 1995b;Weimer et al.,1990;White and Brown,1981).For example,the external surface area of BMCC is f115m2/g (Gilkes et al.,1992)whereas that of Avicel is f0.3m2/g (Weimer et al.,1990).Increasing cellulase adsorption and cellulose reactivity with decreasing particle size has been reported(Kim et al.,1992;Mandels et al.,1971).However, this may be due to causes other than increased external area, perhaps decreasing mass transfer resistance,since external surface is thought to be a small fraction of overall surface area for most substrates.The gross cellulose accessibility is generally measured by the sorption of nitrogen,argon or water vapor,dimensional change or weight gain by swelling in water or organic liquids,and exchange of H to D atoms with D2H.The most widely used procedure for specific surface area(SSA)is the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)method using nitrogen adsorption.Due to variations in the experimental condi-tions such as adsorption time,vacuum time and vacuum pressure(Marshall and Sixsmith,1974),sample prepara-tion(Grethlein,1985;Lee et al.,1983),and sample origin and features(Marshall and Sixsmith,1974;Weimer et al., 1990),a wide range of gross area values have been reported in the literature even for the same substrate.The specific area of Avicel PH102increases from5.4m2/g surface area to18m2/g after a long time of water swelling,because the capillary structure of air-dried cellulose from the water-swollen state collapses,resulting in drastic changes in phys-ical parameters(Grethlein,1985;Lee et al.,1983).To keep substrate capillary structure as it exists in the hydrated state,it is recommended that SSA be measured using solvent-dried samples(Grethlein,1985;Lee et al.,1983). The typical SSA of BMCC,Avicel,and wet pulp are f200m2/g BMCC(Bothwell et al.,1997),1.8–22m2/g Avicel(Fan et al.,1980;Lee et al.,1983;Marshall and Sixsmith,1974),and55–61m2/g pulp(Fan et al.,1980; Kyriacou et al.,1988).The specific surface area of PASC from Solka Floc increases from19.5to239m2/g when phosphoric acid concentration increases from75%to85% (Lee et al.,1982).Because a nitrogen molecule is much smaller than cellulase,it has access to pores and cavities on the fiber surface that cellulase cannot enter.Therefore, there is limited basis to infer that SSA measured using the BET method is a key determinant of enzymatic hydrolysis rate(Mansfield et al.,1999).Preparation and Properties of Model Substrates Wood pulp is made from wood using several steps,in-cluding shredding,delignification,bleaching,and washing (Klemm et al.,1998).For example,Solka Floc is made from SO2-bleached spruce pulp by ball milling(Ghose, 1969).Avicel,also called hydrocellulose and microcrystal-line cellulose,is prepared from cellulosic fibers(wood pulp) by partial acid hydrolysis and then spray drying of the washed pulp slurry,but microcystalline cellulose(Avicel) still contains a substantial amount(f30–50%)of amor-phous cellulose(Krassig,1993).Bacterial cellulose(BC) is prepared from the pellicle produced by Acetobacter xylinum(ATCC23769)(Hestrin,1963)or from Nata de Coco(Daiwa Fine Produces,Singapore;Boisset et al., 2000).Bacterial microcrystalline cellulose(BMCC)is pre-pared from BC by partial acid hydrolysis to remove amor-phous cellulose(Valjamae et al.,1999).Cotton cellulose is made from natural cotton after removing impurities such as wax,pectin,and colored matter(Corbett,1963). Whatman No.1filter paper is made from cotton pulp (Dong et al.,1998).Homogenous amorphous cellulose can be made from various pure cellulose powders,e.g.,Avicel, cotton linters,by swelling treatments such as phosphoric acid,alkali,DMSO,DMAc/LiCl.Phosphoric acid swol-len cellulose(PASC)is most commonly made by swelling cellulose powder using concentrated phosphoric acid,re-sulting in decreased crystallinity(Wood,1988).Typical values for CrI,DP,gross surface area values(SSA by BET), and fraction of reducing ends(F NR,reciprocal of DP)for model cellulosic substrates are presented in Table I. Characteristics of Pretreated LignocelluloseNatural cellulose molecules occur in elementary fibrils closely associated with hemicellulose and other structural polysaccharides as well as lignin(Fig.1c).Such ligno-cellulose typically contains cellulose(35–50wt.%),hemi-cellulose(20–35wt.%),and lignin(5–30wt.%)(Chang et al.,1981;Klein and Snodgrass,1993;Lynd et al.,2002; Mansfield et al.,1999).A detailed consideration of en-zymatic hydrolysis of native lignocellulose may be found elsewhere(Hatfield et al.,1999).Since enzymatic hydro-lysis of native lignocellulose usually results in solubiliza-tion of V20%of the originally present glucan,some form of pretreatment to increase amenability to enzymatic hy-drolysis is included in most process concepts for biological conversion of lignocellulose.Pretreatment,under appro-priate conditions,retains nearly all of the cellulose pres-ent in the original material and allows close to theoretical yields upon enzymatic hydrolysis.Proposed pretreatment802BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING,VOL.88,NO.7,DECEMBER30,2004processes include dilute acid,steam explosion at high solid concentration,‘‘hydrothermal’’process,‘‘organosolv’’pro-cesses involving organic acid solvents in an aqueous phase, ammonia fiber explosion(AFEX),strong alkali process (Lynd et al.,2002),as well as mechanical treatments such as hammer and ball milling(Millett et al.,1976;Sun and Cheng,2002).Comparative features of these processes as well as consideration of substrate factors impacting the hy-drolysis rate are reviewed elsewhere(Chang et al.,1981; Converse,1993;Cowling and Kirk,1976;Dale,1985;Hsu, 1996;Ladisch et al.,1983;Mansfield et al.,1999;McMillian 1994;Lynd,1996;Sun and Cheng,2002;Weil et al.,1994; Wood and Saddler,1988).Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is more compli-cated than that of pure cellulose due to the presence of nonglucan components such as lignin and hemicellulose. Lignin removal and/or redistribution are thought to have a significant effect on observed rates of enzymatic hydrolysis (Chernoglazov et al.,1988;Converse,1993;Lynd et al., 2002).Lignin has been implicated as a competitive cel-lulase adsorbent which reduces the amount of cellulase available to catalyze cellulose hydrolysis(Bernardez et al., 1993;Ooshima et al.,1990;Sutcliffe and Saddler,1986). In addition,it has been suggested that residual lignin blocks the progress of cellulase down the cellulose chain(Eriksson et al.,2002;Mansfield et al.,1999).The measured crystallinity index of lignocellulose is impacted by the presence of lignin and hemicellulose.Thus, care must be taken in comparing CrI values for lignocellu-losic substrates to values for cellulosic substrates,and also in comparing the CrI of lignocellulosic substrates before and after pretreatment.Reported CrI values for pretreated materials are generally in the range of0.4–0.7(Chang and Holtzapple,2000;Gharpuray et al.,1983;Koullas et al., 1992;Sinitsyn et al.,1989,1991).Pretreatment by either dilute-acid or steam explosion under conditions that are quite effective in enhancing hydrolysis has been found to increase the composite CrI of lignocellulose(Deschamps et al.,1996;Kim et al.,2003;Knappert et al.,1980; Meunier-Goddik et al.,1999).Consistent with this,a negative correlation between hydrolysis rate and CrI has been shown in experiments that involved chemical pre-treatments followed by ball milling(Chang and Holtzapple, 2000;Gharpuray et al.,1983;Knappert et al.,1980;Koullas et al.,1992;Sinitsyn et al.,1989,1991),and also ex-periments that examined various pretreatment conditions (Chang and Holtzapple,2000).In contrast to the trend ob-served for other pretreatment processes,AFEX pretreat-ment has been reported to result in a decrease in CrI (Gollapalli et al.,2002).Several investigators have impli-cated accessible surface area as an important factor in determining the effectiveness of pretreatment(Gharpuray et al.,1983;Grethlein,1985;Grethlein and Converse,1991; Sinitsyn et al.,1991).A significant difficulty in interpreting the effects of pretreatment at a mechanistic level is that exposure of substrates to conditions that cause one poten-tial determinant of reactivity to change usually bring about changes in other such potential determinants.For example, Sinitsyn et al.(1991)found a strong negative correlation between CrI and accessible surface area accompanying several pretreatment processes.We suspect that the impact of increased surface area accompanying pretreatment may in many cases be more important than changes in CrI,al-though further work will be needed to establish this point and the relative significance of these and other factors may well be different for different processes.DP values of lignocellulosic substrates such as ba-gasse,wheat straw,and Eucalyptus regnans pretreated using steam explosion,supercritical CO2,alkali,and ozone mostly fall in the range of600–1,100,although values as high as3,000have been recorded for Pinus radiata chips (Puri,1984;Sinitsyn et al.,1991).During dilute acid-catalyzed cellulose hydrolysis,the DP of cellulosic ma-terials decreases rapidly initially and achieves a nearly constant value thereafter called the level-off DP(LODP) (Klemm et al.,1998;Krassig,1993;Wood,1988).LODP values in the range of100–300have been measured,de-pending on the substrate and conditions such as temperature and acid concentration(Krassig,1993;Wood,1988).This LODP value may limit the rates of hydrolysis that can oc-cur with dilute acid pretreated lignocellulose,although this has not been investigated experimentally.Different con-clusions about the importance of DP in determining hydrolysis rates of pretreated cellulosic biomass have been drawn,with Sinitsyn et al.(1991)concluding that DP is relatively unimportant,but Puri(1984)concluding that it is quite important.CELLULASE ADSORPTIONAdsorptionCellulase adsorption is rapid compared to the time re-quired for hydrolysis,with many studies finding that ad-sorption reaches steady-state within half an hour(Lynd et al.,2002).The most common description of cellulase adsorption is the Langmuir isotherm(Eq.[7]),derived as-suming that adsorption can be described by a single ad-sorption equilibrium constant and a specified adsorption capacity.The Langmuir isotherm may be represented as:E a¼W max K P E f1þK P E fð7Þin which E a is adsorbed cellulase(mg or A mol cellulase/L), W max is the maximum cellulase adsorption=A max*S(mg or A mol cellulase/L),A max is the maximum cellulase adsorp-tion per g cellulose(mg or A mol cellulase/g cellulose),S is cellulose concentration(g cellulose/L),E f is free cellulase (mg or A mol cellulase/L),and K P is the dissociation constant (K P¼E a f)in terms of L/g cellulose.The distribution coef-ficient or partition coefficient,R,is defined as:R¼K P W maxð8ÞZHANG AND LYND:NONCOMPLEXED CELLULASE SYSTEMS803。

Enzymatic Hydrolysis ProcessIntroductionEnzymatic hydrolysis is a process that involves the breakdown of complex organic compounds using enzymes. This process plays a crucial role in various industries, including biofuels, food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Enzymes act as catalysts, accelerating the rate of chemical reactions and enabling the transformation of substrates into desired products. In this article, we will explore the different aspects of enzymatic hydrolysis, including its significance, applications, factors affecting the process, and future prospects.Importance of Enzymatic HydrolysisEnzymatic hydrolysis is a highly significant process due to its wide range of applications. Some key reasons for the importance of this process are:1.Biofuel Production: Enzymes are extensively utilized in theproduction of biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel. Enzymatichydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, such as agriculturalresidues and energy crops, breaks down complex carbohydrates intosimple sugars, which can then be fermented to produce biofuels.2.Food Industry: Enzymatic hydrolysis is employed in the foodindustry to enhance the nutritional properties of various foodproducts. For example, proteases are widely used to hydrolyzeproteins into amino acids, improving their digestibility.3.Pharmaceuticals: Enzymatic hydrolysis plays a critical role inthe pharmaceutical industry, particularly in drug formulation.Enzymes are used to break down active pharmaceutical ingredientsinto biologically active compounds, facilitating their absorptionand effectiveness.4.Waste Treatment: Enzymatic hydrolysis is utilized in thetreatment of various types of waste, including sewage andagricultural waste. Enzymes aid in the breakdown of organic matter,reducing the environmental impact and facilitating the productionof valuable by-products.Enzymatic Hydrolysis ProcessThe enzymatic hydrolysis process involves a series of steps, including substrate preparation, enzyme selection, enzymatic reaction, and product recovery.1.Substrate Preparation: The substrate used in enzymatic hydrolysisneeds to be properly prepared to ensure efficient enzyme-substrate interaction. This often involves pretreatment methods such as size reduction, chemical or physical treatment, and removal ofinhibitors.2.Enzyme Selection: The choice of enzyme is crucial as itdetermines the specificity and efficiency of the hydrolysisprocess. Different enzymes are suitable for different substrates,and factors such as pH, temperature, and enzyme concentration need to be considered.3.Enzymatic Reaction: The hydrolysis reaction typically occurs in acontrolled environment, with optimum pH and temperature conditions.The enzyme is added to the substrate, and the reaction is allowedto proceed for a specific period. During this time, the enzymebreaks down the substrate into smaller molecules.4.Product Recovery: After the enzymatic hydrolysis, the desiredproducts need to be separated from the reaction mixture. This mayinvolve techniques such as filtration, centrifugation, orchromatography, depending on the nature of the products andimpurities present.Factors Affecting Enzymatic HydrolysisSeveral factors can influence the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis. These factors need to be carefully considered and optimized to achieve the desired results. Some key factors include:1.pH: Enzymatic reactions are highly sensitive to pH. Differentenzymes have different pH optima, and maintaining the appropriatepH level ensures optimal enzyme activity.2.Temperature: Temperature significantly affects enzyme activity.Each enzyme has an optimum temperature range within which itfunctions best. Deviating from this range can either decrease the reaction rate or denature the enzyme.3.Enzyme Concentration: The concentration of enzymes in thereaction mixture influences the rate and efficiency of hydrolysis.Higher enzyme concentrations usually result in faster reactionrates, up to a certain limit.4.Substrate Concentration: The concentration of the substrate alsoaffects the hydrolysis process. Extremely high or low substrateconcentrations can inhibit enzyme activity and reduce overallefficiency.5.Inhibitors and Activators: Inhibitors can significantly affectenzymatic hydrolysis by interfering with the enzyme-substrateinteraction. Activators, on the other hand, can enhance enzymeactivity. Identifying and managing these factors is crucial foroptimum results.Future ProspectsEnzymatic hydrolysis continues to be an area of active research and development. Scientists are continually exploring new enzymes, optimizing reaction conditions, and developing innovative techniques to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the process. In addition, advancements in genetic engineering and enzyme immobilization techniques hold promising potential for further enhancing enzymatic hydrolysis processes.ConclusionEnzymatic hydrolysis is a vital process with significant applications in various industries. Understanding the factors influencing the process and optimizing reaction conditions are crucial for achieving efficient and cost-effective hydrolysis. Ongoing research efforts and technological advancements continue to drive progress in this field, opening doors to new possibilities and innovations in the future.。

Enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of steam-pretreated spruce using crude Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma atroviride enzymesKrisztina Kova´cs a ,b ,George Szaka ´cs a ,Guido Zacchi b ,*a Budapest University of Technology and Economics,Department of Applied Biotechnology and Food Science,1111Budapest,Gelle´rt te ´r 4,Hungary bLund University,Department of Chemical Engineering,P.O.Box 124,SE-22100Lund,Sweden1.IntroductionThe cost and hydrolytic efficiency of enzymes used for the saccharification of pretreated lignocellulosic materials are critical factors in the biomass to ethanol process [1–3].It is therefore important to develop more effective cellulolytic microorganisms and improve the hydrolytic properties of enzyme mixtures.Trichoderma reesei mutants are most widely used to produce commercial cellulases for enzymatic hydrolysis [4–6].However,the drawback of the enzyme cocktail produced by this species is the low level of extracellular b -glucosidase activity,which leads to the accumulation of cellobiose,i.e.incomplete degradation of the cellulose.Various methods of enhancing the hydrolytic potential of T.reesei enzyme mixtures include the genetically modification of T.reesei strains [7–10],the use of the whole culture broth of T.reesei instead of the fermentation supernatant [11–13],or the co-culture of T.reesei with a good b -glucosidase-producing fungus, e.g.Aspergillus phoenicis [14–16].In the future,new strains with good filter paper activity (FPA)combined with enhanced extracellular b -glucosidase production may compete with T.reesei as sources of cellulases [17].Some Trichoderma atroviride mutants have been found to be capable of secreting high levels of cellulases and b -glucosidase simulta-neously on pretreated willow [18]and spruce [13].The crude enzyme supernatants of T.atroviride hydrolyzed the cellulose completely,while the T.reesei supernatants and commercial enzyme preparations (e.g.Celluclast 1.5L)needed complementary b -glucosidase supplementation to be able to cleave cellobiose into glucose.Various Penicillium species [19–21]and Trichoderma harzianum E58[22]have also been shown to secrete enzyme mixtures with similar or better hydrolytic potential than T.reesei .b -Glucosidase deficiency in enzyme complexes also limits the efficiency of the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF)process,since Saccharomyces cerevisiae ,the preferred yeast for industrial ethanol production,does not ferment cellobiose to ethanol in its native form.The production of ethanol from steam-pretreated spruce (SPS)has been widely studied with regard to pretreatment [23–26],enzymatic hydrolysis [27–31],fermentation [32–36]and process modeling [37,38].In the present study,cellulolytic enzymes wereProcess Biochemistry 44(2009)1323–1329A R T I C L E I N F O Article history:Received 7February 2009Received in revised form 26May 2009Accepted 14July 2009Keywords:Trichoderma atroviride Trichoderma reeseiSteam-pretreated spruce Enzymatic hydrolysisSimultaneous saccharification and fermentationEthanol productionA B S T R A C TThe aim of this study was to compare the performance of the enzymes produced by Trichoderma reesei Rut C30and the good extracellular b -glucosidase-producing mutant Trichoderma atroviride TUB F-1663to that of commercial preparations in the enzymatic hydrolysis and the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF)of steam-pretreated spruce (SPS).The concentrated TUB F-1663enzyme was found to be the most efficient in the hydrolysis of washed SPS at 50g/L water-insoluble solids (WIS)in terms of the glucose produced (18.5g/L),even in comparison with commercial cellulases (14.1–16.7g/L).The enzyme preparations were studied at low enzyme loadings (5FPU/g WIS)in SSF to produce ethanol from SPS.The enzyme supernatant and whole fermentation broth of T.atroviride as well as the whole broth of T.reesei proved to be as efficient in SSF as the commercial cellulase mixtures (ethanol yields of 61–76%of the theoretical were achieved),while low ethanol yields (<40%)were obtained with the b -glucosidase-deficient T.reesei supernatant.Therefore,it seems,that instead of using commercial cellulases,the TUB F-1663enzymes and the whole broth of Rut C30may be produced on-site,using a process stream as carbon source,and employed directly in the biomass-to-bioethanol process.ß2009Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.*Corresponding author.Tel.:+46462228297;fax:+46462224526.E-mail

cellulase components had better hydrolytic capacity on washed SPS than the single enzyme supernatants.The hydrolytic potential of the in-house concentrated enzyme preparations was compared to that of commercial cellulases on the whole pretreated slurry,as well as on the washed pretreated material.Finally,the enzyme supernatants, the whole fermentation broths and the concentrated enzymes of T. reesei Rut C30and T.atroviride TUB F-1663were studied in SSF to produce ethanol from SPS,and the results were compared with those obtained with commercial cellulases.To the authors’knowledge,no research has so far been carried out on SSF using crude enzyme supernatants and whole fermentation broths produced in-house.2.Materials and methods2.1.Steam-pretreated spruceSpruce was kindly provided by a sawmill in southern Sweden(Widtsko¨fle Sa˚gwerk AB,Degeberga,Sweden).The material was steam pretreated and its composition was analyzed as described previously[13].2.2.Enzymes and microorganismsCelluclast1.5L,a cellulase mixture produced by T.reesei,and Novozym188,a b-glucosidase preparation from Aspergillus niger,were both kindly provided by Novozymes A/S(Bagsvaerd,Denmark).Accellerase TM1000,a cellulase enzyme complex developed for lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis,produced with a genetically modified strain derived from T.reesei,was kindly provided by Genencor, Danisco A/S(Copenhagen,Denmark).For simplicity,Celluclast1.5L,Novozym188 and Accellerase1000are referred to in the text as Celluclast,Novozym and Accellerase,respectively.T.atroviride TUB F-1663was obtained from the TUB collection(=Technical University of Budapest).Isolation and mutagenesis data for this strain have been presented in a previous study[18].T.reesei Rut C30was kindly donated by Prof.D.E. Eveleigh(Rutgers University,NJ,USA).For simplicity,T.atroviride TUB F-1663and T. reesei Rut C30are referred to in the text as TUB F-1663and Rut C30,respectively. The freeze-dried cultures were revitalized and maintained on potato-dextrose-agar Petri plates at308C.Properly sporulating cultures were used for inoculation.The Rut C30and TUB F-1663enzymes were produced on SPS as described previously [13].The whole fermentation broths,the centrifuged enzyme supernatants and the concentrated(ultrafiltered)enzyme supernatants of Rut C30and TUB F-1663were used in enzymatic hydrolysis and SSF of SPS.The enzyme supernatants were concentrated using a Labscale TFF System and a Pellicon XL membrane with a10-kDa cut-off(Millipore,Billerica,MA,USA).Prior to concentration the supernatants werefiltered through a0.2-m m nylonfilter(Pall Corporation,New York,USA).2.3.Enzyme assaysTotal reducing sugars were determined colorimetrically using the dinitrosa-licylic acid method[39].The FPA was assayed according to Ghose[40].The b-glucosidase activity was determined using Berghem’s method[41]with slight modifications as described previously[13].The FPA and b-glucosidase activities presented are the average of two separate measurements.2.4.Enzymatic hydrolysis of SPSWhen studying the hydrolytic efficiency of the crude T.reesei and T.atroviride enzyme mixtures,the soluble parts of SPS that contained inhibitors,sugars and degradation products of hemicellulose and lignin were removed by washing the slurry with distilled water.Afterfiltration,the insoluble parts(mainly cellulose and lignin)of the steam-pretreated and washed spruce were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis.The crude enzyme supernatants of Rut C30and TUB F-1663produced on SPS were mixed together at ratios of0:1;1:4;2:3;3:2;4:1and1:0(w:w).The FPA and b-glucosidase activity of each mixture were measured.The hydrolytic potential of the mixtures was investigated at an enzyme loading of3FPU/g WIS.In order to compare the hydrolysis capacities of the various enzymes on washed and unwashed SPS,a3:1(w:w)mixture of Celluclast&Novozym,Accellerase,the concentrated enzyme supernatant of Rut C30and that of TUB F-1663were used at an enzyme loading of5FPU/g WIS.Hydrolysis was carried out in duplicate at408C for96h in all cases.Both the washed and the unwashed materials were diluted with 0.1M Na-acetate buffer(pH4.8)to50g/L WIS in a total volume of250mL.Samples were withdrawn after0,3,7,24,48,72and96h,and centrifuged at3000rpm for 5min.The results presented are the mean values of two separate hydrolysis experiments.2.5.Yeast cultivationBaker’s yeast,S.cerevisiae(Ja¨stbolaget,Rotebro,Sweden),wasfirst purified into single colonies by streaking on potato-dextrose-agar containing100m g/mL doxycycline.One-liter cotton-plugged Erlenmeyerflasks containing200mL sterile medium were inoculated with purified yeast from the agar plates.The composition of the medium was as follows(in g/L):glucose,20;(NH4)2SO4,10;KH2PO4,5; MgSO4Á7H2O,1;yeast extract,5,and(in mg/L):CoCl2Á6H2O,2;MnSO4, 1.6; ZnSO4Á7H2O, 3.45;and FeSO4Á7H2O, 5.The pH before inoculation was 5.2. Cultivation was performed on a shaker at308C and220rpm for24h.The culture broth was centrifuged at4000rpm for10min,the supernatant was discarded and the DM of the harvested cells was determined before further use in SSF.2.6.Simultaneous saccharification and fermentationSSF was used to produce ethanol from SPS.The unwashed pretreated slurry was diluted with tap water to afinal WIS concentration of50g/L and was then sterilized in an autoclave at1218C for30min.The nutrients,(NH4)2HPO4,MgSO4Á7H2O and yeast extract,were sterilized separately and added to the slurry tofinal concentrations of0.5,0.025and1.0g/L,respectively.In order to investigate whether the crude T.reesei and T.atroviride enzymes produced can be directly applied in SSF of SPS,the experiments were carried out in duplicate in1-L Erlenmeyerflasks with a total working volume of200mL.The medium was inoculated with the centrifuged yeast suspension at3.5g/L dry yeast cells.The crude enzyme supernatants and whole fermentation broths of Rut C30 and TUB F-1663were used at10g enzyme solution(supernatant or whole broth) per g WIS.The initial pH was set to5with5%NaOH.SSF was carried out for4days at 358C,at220rpm.Theflasks were covered with plasticfilm in order to provide semi-anaerobic conditions for the yeast.Samples were withdrawn after0,3,8,24, 48,72and96h,and centrifuged at3000rpm for5min.The mean values of two separate SSF experiments are presented.To compare the in-house-produced enzymes with commercial cellulases,the SSF experiments were performed in2-L fermentors(Infors AG,Bottmingen,Switzer-land)with a total working volume of1L.The yeast suspension was added at a concentration of2g/L dry yeast cells.The performance of the concentrated enzyme supernatants of Rut C30and TUB F-1663was compared to those of the3:1mixture of Celluclast&Novozym and Accellerase at5FPU/g WIS.SSF was carried out in duplicate for4days at pH5Æ0.2and358C,and the pH was set with5%NaOH. Samples were withdrawn after0,3,5,7,24,48,72and96h,and centrifuged at 3000rpm for5min.The mean values of two separate SSF experiments are presented.2.7.Analytical methodsAll samples werefiltered through0.2-m mfilters(MFS-13,Micro Filtration Systems,Dublin,CA,USA)and analyzed using an HPLC instrument(Shimadzu, Kyoto,Japan)equipped with a refractive index detector(Shimadzu).Cellobiose, glucose,xylose,galactose,arabinose and mannose were separated using an Aminex HPX-87P column(Bio-Rad,Hercules,CA,USA)at808C,with deionized water as eluent at aflow rate of0.5mL/min,while ethanol,lactic acid,glycerol,acetic acid, hydroxyl-methyl-furfural and furfural were separated on an Aminex HPX-87H column(Bio-Rad)at658C,with5mM H2SO4as eluent at aflow rate of0.5mL/min.3.Results and discussion3.1.Steam pretreatmentTable1presents the composition of SPS.The total DM and WIS content of the material after pretreatment were202and137g/L, respectively.The two major insoluble components were glucan (54.1w/w%of WIS)and lignin(42.3w/w%of WIS),while the main soluble components were found to be glucose(22.3g/L)and mannose(20.9g/L).In addition to sugars,water-soluble inhibitors, such as acetic acid,lignin degradation products and sugar-derived by-products were also formed during pretreatment.3.2.FPA and b-glucosidase activities of enzyme mixturesIn this study,low-b-glucosidase-containing cellulases(i.e. Celluclast and the supernatant of Rut C30)were mixed together with high-b-glucosidase-containing enzymes(i.e.Novozym and the supernatant of TUB F-1663)in different ratios in order to investigate thefinal FPA and b-glucosidase activities of theK.Kova´cs et al./Process Biochemistry44(2009)1323–1329 1324resulting mixtures.Fig.1a shows that the measured FPA values of the Celluclast–Novozym mixtures were always higher than the FPAs calculated based on the mixing ratio of the pure enzymes.The highest FPA(68.7FPU/g)was obtained with the3:1mixture of Celluclast&Novozym.This is in agreement with a previous study, in which it was reported that the addition of Novozym to commercial cellulase preparations increased the FPA of the enzymes considerably[27],suggesting a method for b-glucosi-dase-independent FPA measurements.Similar results were also obtained with the enzymes produced in-house(Fig.1b).The pure enzyme supernatants of Rut C30and TUB F-1663showed activities of0.56and0.37FPU/g,respectively, and the highest FPA(0.59FPU/g)was achieved with the3:2 mixture of Rut C30and TUB F-1663.These are rather low activities, however,other authors also reported similar FPAs with Rut C30on SPS[42,27].The fact that the FPA exhibited by the mixtures was greater than the sum of the FPAs of the pure enzyme solutions suggests that there is synergism between the T.reesei and T. atroviride enzyme components in short-term(1h)hydrolysis of Whatman#1filter paper.In contrast to the measured FPAs,the measured b-glucosidase activities of the mixtures were almost equal to those calculated based on the mixing ratio of the pure enzymes,in the case of both the commercial and the in-house-produced preparations(Fig.1a and b).This may be due to the fact that b-glucosidase activity is determined on a simple substrate and is not influenced by other enzyme activities,while FPA is measured on a complex substrate where several different bonds have to be cleaved by different enzymes.3.3.Enzymatic hydrolysis with the enzyme mixturesproduced in-houseEnzymatic hydrolysis of washed SPS with mixtures of in-house-produced enzymes was performed at a relatively high WIS content (50g/L)and low enzyme loading(3FPU/g WIS),since differences in the performance of the enzymes are more noticeable at low enzyme/substrate ratios.It has been well documented that the hydrolytic potential of commercial T.reesei cellulase preparations (e.g.Celluclast1.5L)can be improved by supplementation with b-glucosidase-rich enzymes such as Novozym188[43–45,18,30]. Since the FPA of the crude enzyme mixtures produced here showed synergism(Fig.1b),we therefore hypothesized that supplementa-tion of the T.reesei enzyme produced in this study with the high-b-glucosidase-containing T.atroviride supernatant would result in better hydrolytic efficiency than with the pure supernatants.Fig.2shows that higher IU/FPU values resulted in increased final glucose yields;the highest glucose concentration(12.5g/L) was obtained with the pure TUB F-1663enzyme,which had the highest IU/FPU value(14.7).This means that the hydrolytic efficiency,in terms of the glucose produced by the T.reesei enzyme, was improved by mixing it with T.atroviride supernatant,but theTable1Composition of steam-pretreated spruce(2108C,5min,2.5%SO2).The total drymatter content of

Biochemistry44(2009)1323–13291325potential of the T.atroviride supernatant was impaired since all the mixtures studied yielded lower glucose concentrations than the T.atroviride supernatant alone.On the other hand,the sum of the glucose and cellobiose concentrations was very similar for all enzymes (12.8–13.9g/L),which was probably due to the FPU/g WIS dosage being the same.The b -glucosidase deficiency of Rut C30has been overcome by co-culturing it with A.phoenicis ,which is a good b -glucosidase-producing fungus [14–16].The hydrolysis efficiency of the mixed enzymes was higher than that of commercial enzymes and the enzyme obtained from the single culture of T.reesei .Our hydrolysis results indicated that co-cultivation of Rut C30and TUB F-1663would not result in an enzyme mixture with a better hydrolysis efficiency than the single culture of T.atroviride .3.4.Enzymatic hydrolysis of washed and unwashed SPSThe hydrolytic capacity of the enzymes produced was compared with the commercial enzymes based on equal FPU/g WIS dosage.Due to considerable differences in the activities of the enzyme preparations,the specific b -glucosidase activities corre-sponding to 5FPU/g WIS were very different (Table 2).Fig.3shows the final glucose and cellobiose concentrations obtained after 96h of hydrolysis with the 3:1mixture of Celluclast &Novozym,Accellerase,and the concentrated TUB F-1663and Rut C30supernatants,on washed and unwashed SPS at a relativelyhigh WIS content (50g/L).The washed SPS contained 27g/L glucan,which corresponds to a theoretical glucose concentration of 30g/L at the end of hydrolysis.On this substrate,the TUB F-1663enzyme was found to be the most efficient (18.5g/L glucose,62%of the theoretical)and the Rut C30enzyme the least efficient (4.7g/L glucose,16%of the theoretical),while the Celluclast–Novozym mixture and Accellerase resulted in 16.8g/L glucose (56%of the theoretical)and 14.1g/L glucose (47%of the theoretical),respectively.Despite using the same FPU/g WIS dosage,the final sums of the sugar concentrations (cellobiose +glucose)were quite different,ranging from 14.6g/L (Accellerase)to 19.2g/L (TUB F-1663).As the unwashed SPS contained 8.3g/L glucose,0.6g/L glucose oligomers and the glucan part of the substrate at the start of hydrolysis,the theoretical glucose concentration at the end of hydrolysis was 38.9g/L.The enzymes produced by Rut C30performed best (24.2g/L)on this material regarding the sums of the sugar concentrations (cellobiose +glucose),but only 52%of the resulting sugars proved to be glucose due to the deficiency of b -glucosidase in this enzyme preparation.Slightly less sugar was produced using the unwashed substrate (23.6g/L)with the Celluclast–Novozym mixture and the TUB F-1663enzyme,but the ratio between glucose and cellobiose was favorable in the case of the commercial enzymes.Regarding the glucose concentrations produced by enzymatic hydrolysis alone,all enzymes performed better on the washed than on the unwashed material (see Fig.3),which is consistent with previous findings on SPS [31].The final glucose yields on the unwashed substrate were found to be 48%,39%,46%and 15%of the theoretical for the Celluclast–Novozym mixture,Accellerase,and the concentrated supernatants of TUB F-1663and Rut C30,respectively.It is interesting to note that although the TUB F-1663and the Accellerase enzymes had higher specific b -glucosidase activities than the Celluclast–Novozym mixture,the latter proved to cleave cellobiose to glucose more efficiently.This could be explained by the fact that the b -glucosidase activity of the enzymes was assayed on p-nitrophenyl-b -D -glucopyranoside,while the substrate pre-sent in the hydrolysis of SPS was cellobiose.It is also possible that b -glucosidase of Trichoderma origin (e.g.TUB F-1663)is less efficient on cellobiose than the enzymes in Novozym,which are obtained from A.niger .The lower cellobiose levels in the case of the Celluclast–Novozym mixture might also be due to better syner-gism between the A.niger b -glucosidase and the T.reesei cellulases than between the Trichoderma enzyme components.It is clear that the performance of an enzyme preparation in the enzymatic hydrolysis of SPS depends strongly,but not exclusively,on the FPA and b -glucosidase activity of the enzyme.This is in accordance with previous studies in which it was suggested that besides cellulases and b -glucosidases,accessory enzymes can have significant effects on enzymatic hydrolysis,presumably by improving cellulose accessibility [46,43].Enzymes produced by the new T.atroviride mutants have been reported to have good hydrolytic efficiencies on pretreated and washed lignocellulosic substrates such as willow [18]and spruce [13].In these studies hydrolysis was performed at low WIS concentration (20g/L)and the pretreated materials were washed in order to remove soluble sugars,lignin degradation products and other compounds that might be inhibitory to enzymatic hydrolysis.However,in an industrial process it is desirable to use a high WIS concentration as well as the whole slurry after pretreatment,without separating the solid fraction from the liquid.3.5.Simultaneous saccharification and fermentationThe ethanol yield was based on the amount of glucan in the solid substrate and the soluble glucose and

assuming that1g of glucose or mannose theoretically gives0.51g of ethanol and1g of glucan gives 1.11g of glucose.Therefore,the theoretical ethanol concentration in the SSF studies was23.7g/L.e of the whole fermentation broths in comparison to the fermentation supernatants in SSFIt has previously been shown that using enzyme preparations from the good extracellular b-glucosidase-producing strain TUB F-1663,and employing the whole fermentation broth of Rut C30, containing both the extracellular and the cell-wall-bound enzymes,improve the hydrolysis of washed SPS[13].In the present study,we further investigated the possibility of using these supernatants and whole broths to produce ethanol from SPS in shakeflasks.The enzyme loadings of10g Rut C30supernatant,Rut C30whole broth,TUB F-1663supernatant and TUB F-1663whole broth per g WIS corresponded to5.4,$5.1,4.9and$4.2FPU/g WIS, respectively.Enzyme dosage based on equal amounts of enzyme produced per g WIS was chosen instead of equal FPU per g WIS loading since the determination of the FPA of the whole fermentation broths was uncertain due to the presence of solid residues.Fig.4shows the concentrations of sugar and ethanol as a function of time during SSF.The glucose was quickly consumed and the concentration was less than0.7g/L already after3h with all the enzymes investigated.During the same period,a rapid increase in the ethanol concentration,up to7.3–7.9g/L,was observed.A considerable accumulation of cellobiose,up to4g/L, and only a small increase in the ethanol concentration(from7.7to 8.4g/L)were observed after8h of SSF with the Rut C30 supernatant,due to the lack of extracellular b-glucosidase enzymes(Fig.4a).In contrast,when the whole fermentation broth of the Rut C30strain was used in SSF,the ethanol concentration increased to14.4g/L and the cellobiose concentra-tion decreased to1g/L,due to the presence of mycelium-bound b-glucosidase enzymes.In the case of the TUB F-1663enzymes(Fig.4b),thefinal cellobiose concentrations were below1g/L,and ethanol concen-trations of13.1and15.7g/L were achieved with the supernatant and the whole fermentation broth,e of the whole broth instead of the enzyme supernatant increased thefinalethanol yields(expressed as%of the theoretical)from36%to61% and from55%to66%,in the case of the T.reesei and the T.atroviride enzymes,respectively.These results show that the role of mycelium-associated enzymes was greater for the T.reesei strain than for T.atroviride,since the latter produced most of its enzymes extracellularly.Thesefindings are in accordance with previous hydrolysis results using these strains on SPS[13].Use of the whole fermentation broth of T.reesei in SSF of pure cellulose has been investigated previously by Schell et al.[12],who reported that the broth showed improvements in the ethanol yields of8–25%over the supernatants.To the authors’knowledge,no study has been carried out using whole fermentation broths in the SSF of pretreated lignocellulosic materials.parison of the in-house enzymes with the commercial cellulases in SSFThe in-house-produced and the commercial enzymes were compared in this study,based on equal FPU/g WIS dosage,which means that the corresponding specific b-glucosidase activities were different(Table2).The enzyme with the highest specific b-glucosidase activity,i.e. the concentrated enzyme supernatant produced by TUB F-1663,proved to be the most efficient in SSF of SPS(Fig.5).Afinal ethanol concentration of18.0g/L was achieved with this enzyme,which is about10%higher than that obtained with the commercial cellulases.Although the commercial enzymes had quite different specific b-glucosidase activities,their efficiencies proved to be very similar,resulting in ethanol concentrations of about16.5g/L with both preparations.As expected,the lowest ethanol concen-tration(7.5g/L)was obtained with the b-glucosidase-deficient concentrated enzyme supernatant produced by Rut C30.The corresponding ethanol yields(%of the theoretical)were found to be70%,69%,76%and31%for the3:1mixture of Celluclast& Novozym,Accellerase,the T.atroviride enzyme and the T.reesei enzyme,respectively.During SSF using the T.reesei enzyme,an accumulation of up to6.0g/L cellobiose was observed,and at the end of SSF1.3g/L glucose were not consumed,while both the glucose and the cellobiose concentrations were found to be around 0g/L for the other enzyme preparations(data not shown).In accordance with the results obtained from the hydrolysis of washed and unwashed SPS,the performance of the different enzyme preparations in SSF at the same FPU/g WIS was found not to be directly correlated to the b-glucosidase content of theenzyme.。
