RESUMO
An adsorption resin CX-6 was synthesized and used for acid soluble lignin (ASL) removal from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate (SCBH). The adsorption conditions of pH value, amount of adsorbent, initial ASL concentration, and temperature on ASL adsorption were discussed. The results showed the adsorption capacity of ASL was negatively affected by increasing temperature, solution pH, and adsorbent dose, and was positively affected by increasing initial concentration. The maximum adsorption capacity of ASL was 135.3 mg/g at initial ASL concentration 6.46 g/L, adsorption temperature 298 K, and pH 1. Thermodynamic study demonstrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. Equilibrium and kinetics experiments were proved to fit the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order model well, respectively. Fermentation experiment showed that the SCBH after combined overliming with resin adsorption as fermentation substrate for microbial lipid production by Trichosporon cutaneum and Trichosporon coremiiforme was as better as that of SCBH by combined overliming with active charcoal adsorption, and more efficient than that of SCBH only by overliming. Moreover, the regeneration experiment indicated that the CX-6 resin is easy to regenerate and its recirculated performance is stable. In conclusion, our results provide a promising adsorbent to detoxify lignocellulose hydrolysate for further fermentation.

Durian is one important tropical fruit with high nutritional value, but its shell is usually useless and considered as waste. To explore the efficient and high-value utilization of this agricultural and food waste, in this study, durian shell was simply hydrolyzed by dilute sulfuric acid, and the durian shell hydrolysate after detoxification was used for bacterial cellulose (BC) production by Gluconacetobacter xylinus for the first time. BC was synthesized in static culture for 10 days and the highest BC yield (2.67 g/L) was obtained at the 8th day. The typical carbon sources in the substrate including glucose, xylose, formic acid, acetic acid, etc. can be utilized by G. xylinus. The highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal (16.40%) was obtained at the 8th day. The highest BC yield on COD consumption and the highest BC yield on sugar consumption were 93.51% and 22.98% (w/w), respectively, suggesting this is one efficient bioconversion for BC production. Durian shell hydrolysate showed small influence on the BC structure by comparison with the structure of BC generated in traditional Hestrin-Schramm medium detected by FE-SEM, FTIR, and XRD. Overall, this technology can both solve the issue of waste durian shell and produce valuable bio-polymer (BC).
RESUMO
Biomass acid hydrolysate of oleaginous yeast Trichosporon cutaneum after microbial oil extraction was applied as substrate for bacterial cellulose (BC) production by Komagataeibacter xylinus (also named as Gluconacetobacter xylinus previously) for the first time. BC was synthesized in static culture for 10 days, and the maximum BC yield (2.9 g/L) was got at the 4th day of fermentation. Most carbon sources in the substrate (glucose, mannose, formic acid, acetic acid) can be utilized by K. xylinus. The highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal (40.7 ± 3.0%) was obtained at the 6th day of fermentation, and then the COD increased possibly due to the degradation of BC. The highest BC yield on COD consumption was 38.7 ± 4.0% (w/w), suggesting that this is one efficient bioconversion for BC production. The BC structure was affected little by the substrate by comparison with that generated in classical HS medium using field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray diffraction. Overall, this technology can both solve the issue of waste oleaginous yeast biomass and produce valuable biopolymer (BC).
