Ecofriendly lignocellulose pretreatment to enhance the carboxylate production of a rumen-derived microbial consortium.
Bioresource Technology 2017 July
Innovative dry chemo- and chemo-mechanical pretreatments form an interesting approach for modifying the native physico-chemical composition of lignocellulose facilitating its microbial conversion to carboxylates. Here, the impact of four dry-pretreatment conditions on the microbial transformation of wheat straw was assessed: milling to 2mm and 100µm, and NaOH chemical impregnation at high substrate concentrations combined with milling at 2mm and 100µm. Pretreatment effect was assessed in the light of substrate structure and composition, its impact on the acidogenic potential and the major enzyme activities of a rumen-derived microbial consortium RWS. Chemo-mechanical pretreatment strongly modified the substrate macroporosity. The highest carboxylate production rate was reached after dry chemo-mechanical treatment with NaOH at 100µm. A positive impact of the dry chemo-mechanical treatment on xylanase activity was observed also. These results underline that increasing substrate macroporosity by dry chemo-mechanical pretreatment had a positive impact on the microbial acidogenic potential.
