Screening of novel yeast inulinases and further application to bioprocesses

Inulin is a carbohydrate composed of linear chains of ß-2,1-linked D-fructofuranose molecules terminated by a glucose residue through a sucrose-type linkage at the reducing end. Jerusalem artichoke (JA) is one of the most interesting materials among unconventional and renewable raw materials, with levels of inulin reaching 50–80% of dry matter. Inulin or inulin-rich materials can be actively hydrolyzed by micro...

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation: a tool to improve fossil fuels ...

Fructose rich alternative carbon sources for enhanced fossil fuels biodesulfuri...

Biodesulfurization allows the removal of recalcitrant sulfur from fossil fuels at mild operating conditions with the aid of microorganisms. However the production of biocatalysts still has elevated costs which hinder its industrial application. So the use of agro-industrial by-products and wastes, as alternative carbon sources could present an opportunity to cheapen the process. In previous works we showed tha...

Zygosaccharomyces bailii strain talf1 inulinases: a versatile tool for bioproce...

Fructans are one of the most abundant non-structural polysaccharides found in a wide range of plants. Inulin is a polydisperse fructan polymer composed by linear chains of b-2, 1-linked D-fructofuranose molecules terminated by a glucose residue through a sucrose-type linkage at the reducing end. Inulin or inulin-rich materials can be actively hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars (glucose and fructose) using inuli...

Flow cytometric method for cell viability evaluation of Gordonia alkanivorans s...

This work reports the development of a rapid flow cytometric method for the viability assessment of Gordonia alkanivorans strain 1B, a bacterium used in the biodesulfurization process. To demonstrate that it is possible to monitor by flow cytometric analysis changes in this bacterium physiological state, positive controls using the 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA) and propidium iodide (PI) staining mixt...

Optimization of low sulfur jerusalem artichoke juice for fossil fuels biodesulf...

Most of the world’s energy is generated from the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and its derivatives. When burnt, these fuels release into the atmosphere volatile organic compounds, sulfur as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and the fine particulate matter of metal sulfates. These are pollutants which can be responsible for bronchial irritation, asthma attacks, cardio-pulmonary diseases and lung cancer mortality, and t...

Enhancement of dibenzothiophene biodesulfurization by Gordonia alkanivorans str...

The removal of sulfur mediated by microorganisms or biodesulfurization (BDS) is already an extensively studied approach. The first studies were reported in the 50’s and 60’s, but only in the last 20 years have been successful breakthroughs. Through BDS it is possible to remove most of the recalcitrant sulfur compounds to the commonly physico-chemical process at mild operating conditions without molecular hydrog...

Flow cytometric method for cell viability evaluation of Gordonia alkanivorans s...

The most commonly method used for sulfur removal from fossil fuels is hydrodesulfurization, a physico-chemical process at very high temperatures and pressures. An alternative to this process is biodedesulfurization (BDS), a microbiological process that works at atmospheric pressure and temperature making it easier to work with and less expensive. It also as the advantage of easily desulfurizing recalcitrant sul...

Optimization of low sulfur carob pulp liquor as carbon source for fossil fuels ...

Background:Biodesulfurization (BDS) is a complementary technology to hydrodesulfurization since it allows the removal of recalcitrant sulfur compounds present in fossil fuels. The cost of culture medium to produce the biocatalysts is still one limitation for BDS application. Carob pulp, as an alternative carbon source, can reduce this cost. However, the presence of sulfates is critical, since BDS is inhibited a...
