摘要:
A method of producing a chemical product includes cultivating microorganisms or culture cells in a fermentation tank; transferring a culture liquid from the fermentation tank to a membrane separation tank to filter the culture liquid through a separation membrane; and collecting a fermentation product from a filtration liquid as the chemical product while refluxing an unfiltered culture liquid that has not been filtered to be joined to the culture liquid on an upstream side of the membrane separation tank, wherein one portion of the culture liquid to be transferred from the fermentation tank is allowed to bypass the membrane separation tank depending on a pressure at a culture liquid flow-in side of the membrane separation tank.

A β-glucosidase exhibits high activity in the presence of biomass and has high thermal stability compared to conventional enzymes. The β-glucosidase includes substitutions and/or deletions of amino acids, at least three amino acids selected from the group consisting of Glu39, Asp169, Arg170, Arg220, Tyr227, and Glu330, of the parent β-glucosidase with other amino acids and exhibits a decomposition activity.
摘要:
A method of producing a sugar liquid from a cellulose-containing biomass includes (1) hydrolyzing a cellulose-containing biomass using a filamentous fungus-derived cellulose and carrying out solid-liquid separation into a sugar liquid and a hydrolysis residue; (2) washing the hydrolysis residue in (1) using an aqueous alkaline solution and an aqueous inorganic salt solution independently and recovering, as a washing liquid, the filamentous fungus-derived cellulase adsorbed to the hydrolysis residue; and (3) filtering the washing liquid in (2) through an ultrafiltration membrane to recover a sugar liquid as a permeate and the filamentous fungus-derived cellulase as a non-permeate.
摘要:
A method produces a sugar liquid from a cellulosic biomass material, which sugar liquid has improved fermentability. The method produces a sugar liquid by: adding an alkali(s) to a concentrated cellulosic biomass sugar liquid to adjust the pH to not less than 7 to precipitate an insoluble substance(s) containing at least magnesium; and performing filtration through a microfiltration membrane to remove the insoluble substance(s), to obtain a sugar liquid as a permeate.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for producing p-xylene and/or p-tolualdehyde with high yield through a short process using biomass resource-derived substances as raw materials. The method for producing p-xylene and/or p-tolualdehyde of the present invention comprises: a cyclization step of producing 4-methyl-3-cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde from isoprene and acrolein; and an aromatization step of producing p-xylene and/or p-tolualdehyde from 4-methyl-3-cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde by gas-phase flow reaction using a catalyst(s).
摘要:
A method of producing 2,3-butanediol includes subjecting a 2,3-butanediol culture liquid produced by microbial fermentation to nanofiltration membrane treatment and ion-exchange treatment (Step A), and then adding an alkaline substance and performing distillation (Step B).
摘要:
A mutant of a trichoderma filamentous fungus has a mutation that results in lost or lowered function of a beta-adaptin large subunit, or a mutation in an amino acid sequence that forms the beta-adaptin large subunit. A method produces a protein while maintaining a low viscosity in a culture solution during culturing by using the mutant.
摘要:
A method relates to producing 3-hydroxyadipic acid-3,6-lactone, the method including the following steps (A) and (B): (A) a step of adding an acid to a 3-hydroxyadipic acid-containing aqueous solution to obtain a 3-hydroxyadipic acid-3,6-lactone-containing aqueous solution; and (B) a step of obtaining a 3-hydroxyadipic acid-3,6-lactone extract by bringing the 3-hydroxyadipic acid-3,6-lactone-containing aqueous solution obtained in step (A) into contact with an extraction solvent that is phase-separated from the solution.
