Guerrero, et al. [1] stated that simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process is known as a process where the glucose produced by the hydrolyzing enzymes were consumed by fermenting microorganisms as they are released. This configuration can be considered as SSF process as since the beginning of experiments, the yeast inoculum and enzymes were incubated simultaneously .
Mussatto, et al. [19] stated that SSF has great advantage which is the lower capital and operating costs due to the utilization of low cost agricultural waste as substrates. Besides, it help in the reduction of enzyme inhibition by final products due to their immediate conversion into ethanol [19]. The possibility of contamination by bacteria and fungi can be reduced by the low availability of water.
According to Sarkar, et al. [17], SSF is superior for ethanol production since it can produce higher ethanol yields due to removal of

Biomass hydrolysis, cellulase production and ethanol fermentation which are in consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) process is carried out in a single reactor [17]. Besides, in order to ferment cellulose directly to ethanol, monoculture or co-culture of microorganisms are commonly used. The capital investment is not required for purchasing enzyme or its production. However, due to low ethanol yields and long fermentation period, consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is stated as non-efficient process.
2.4Lipase Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
According to Faisal, et al. [20], lipase are an array of enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol to form glycerol and free fatty acids. Lipase are stimulated only at an oil-water interface. Lipase is known as the most widely used class of enzyme in biotechnological applications and organic chemistry, utilizing of agro-industrial wastes as alternative sources which would help in minimizing pollution problems
This case is a consolidation of four cases, in which each of the defendants confessed guilt after being subjected to a variety of interrogation techniques without being informed of his Fifth Amendment rights during interrogation.
The Wrinkle In Time there are some difference and similarities between the book and the movie it is that the character are not that much more alike in the movie than in the book and the part in the movie is not like the book. The Wrinkle In Time is by Madeleine L’Engle. A summary about the book is that Meg tries to find her dad and She has a brother named Charles and he is very special and they go on a journey to find their dad and in the beginning their was a boy that thy meet and his name was Calvin
Baker’s yeast costs little to produce and is convenient to store and use. While baker 's yeast can ferment simple sugars, monosaccharides which are simple sugars and contains one or more hydroxyl groups per molecule. It takes much longer to ferment polysaccharides which are composed of two or more monosaccharides. In a beaker, 2g of yeast, 2g of a sugar and 100mL of distilled water at 40°C were combined in a 250 mL flask. Once the mixture was stirred for two minutes, the fermentation rate was measured with a timer and the sugars were tested up to three trials each. Fructose had the fastest average rate of fermentation at 1.42 minutes. Sucralose,
In 2004 an article was published on the creation of ethanol from gases made from switchgrass. The article was titled, “Fermentation of Biomass-Generated Producer Gas to Ethanol.”
Aim: The aim was to compare the respiration of yeast in different substrates of sugars, i.e. between a monosaccharide (glucose) and a disaccharide (maltose)
This experiment has shown that enzymes must have some environmental conditions present to function properly and achieve the highest rate of reaction. With this information, people can successfully perform experiments using enzymes in the industries by making sure that the environmental conditions present are optimum for the enzyme in the reaction so that maximum yield can be obtained.
For the experiment, the changes of temperature on anaerobic fermentation the process in which cells undergo respiration without oxygen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was observed. The purpose of this experiment was to test the effect of four different temperatures on the rate of carbon dioxide production in yeast by measuring the fermentation rate. Saccharomyces cereviviae, also known as Baker 's yeast, is a unicellular, eukaryotic sac fungus and is good for this experiment because of its characteristic of alcohol fermentation. It was hypothesized that fermentation increases with increased temperature to a point of 37°C; above that point, enzyme denaturing will occur and fermentation will decrease. The group was able to document the carbon dioxide production and mark each of the temperature intervals which were tested at temperatures 4°C (refrigerator temperature), 23°C (Room temperature), 37°C (Human body temperature) and 65° Celsius (Equal to 150°F). The experiment was conducted by pouring yeast solution with 2% glucose in fermentation tubes, placing the tubes in the appropriate incubation temperature, marking the rise of the gas bubbles in the fermentation tubes which indicated carbon dioxide production. The results of this experiment were not supported by the hypothesis, creating different results from what was predicted. It is important to understand the fermentation rate of yeast so
The ethanol production process starts with growing corn, on average an acre of corn yields close to 7,110 pounds of corn that require 140 gallons of fossil fuels to grow through the use of liquid fertilizer and powering machinery (Ethanol Fuel from Corn par. 4). The corn is harvested and transported to an ethanol refinery where it is ground, then water is added to create a mash in which enzymes break down the corn into sugar, afterward the sugar is mixed with yeast and fermented to produce ethanol (Ethanol Fuel: is ethanol par. 9-10). During the process of growing and processing the corn needed to manufacture one gallon of ethanol, it requires 131,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) to generate a gallon of ethanol while a gallon of ethanol produces only 77,000 BTU (Ethanol Fuel from Corn par. 5). The net ratio of energy for ethanol production is undesirable because ethanol has barely over half of the total energy needed to produce ethanol. Other materials can produce ethanol, such as switch grass or wood biomass, however, their energy returns are just as atrocious, needing forty-five percent and fifty-seven percent more energy to produce ethanol than it provides, respectively (Lang par. 5). This net
Clostridium acetobutylicum is a bacterial species that ferments sugar to a mixture of organic solvents (acetone, butanol and ethanol). This protocol delineates a methodology to combine solventogenic clostridial fermentation and chemical catalysis via extractive fermentation for the production of biofuel blendstocks. Extractive fermentation of C. acetobutylicum is operated in fed-batch mode with a concentrated feed solution (500 grams per liter glucose and 50 grams per liter yeast extract) for 60 h, producing in excess of 40 g of solvents (acetone, butanol and ethanol) between the completely immiscible extractant and aqueous phases of the bioreactor. After distillation of the extractant phase, the acetone, butanol and ethanol mixture is upgraded
Once all reducing sugars are fermented to ethanol, yeast levels begin to decline and lactic acid bacteria are able to grow.
The investigation stage of this report will focus on comparing fermentation and hydration as methods on producing ethanol. The report will detail each method on their physical production, hazards, environmental impacts and global production. From this the author will gain a clear understanding on each key area and then form a solid and justified opinion on which is the most effective method of producing ethanol.
The rate of fermentation in this investigation was represented by the amount of carbon dioxide produced as a byproduct of fermentation in the given time.
Since the climate and ecological conditions favor cane production in Brazil, that has become the substrate of choice for the ethanol distillers in that region. Sugar cane is a rapid growing, drought hardy species that usually contains 15-17 % fermentable sugars. With a biomass harvest of 30 tons/ hectare, it is one of the better crops for calories/ hectare in the agricultural spectrum. It also is essentially a ready made fermentation medium, with the needed micronutrients (minerals, vitamins) provided from the raw syrup. The preparation is essentially a heating of the plant extract to sterilize it and inoculating it with the desired fermenter under proper conditions. Yeasts produce alcohol in response to anaerobic conditions, so the typical fermentation chamber is essentially a closed tank with a heater and agitator. The remaining biomass of the cane is often burned to provide the needed heat and or electricity to run the fermentation facility.
A great amount of ethanol fuel is currently produced by starch fermentation. This starch comes from grains such as wheat and maize. Fermentation is produced by a yeast culture. The digestion of starch by yeasts is done in two stages: the starch is initially hydrolyzed in sugars by a chemical or enzymatic
