Abstract:
A process for the production of cellulases and hemicellulases using a strain of a filamentous fungus in a stirred and aerated bioreactor, in at least two phases, a phase a) for growth of said strain in the presence of at least one carbonaceous growth substrate in a closed reactor, a phase b) for the continuous production of cellulases, in which at least one carbonaceous inducer substrate is supplied at a supply rate which is constant over a period of at least more than 200 h, said carbonaceous substrate being at least one aqueous hemicellulosic hydrolysate solution obtained from an acid pre-treatment of a lignocellulosic substrate, said aqueous hemicellulosic hydrolysate solution not undergoing prior sterilization and not undergoing pH rectification, being operated at a dilution rate in the range 0.001 to 0.02 h−1.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of an enzymatic cocktail from a cellulolytic microorganism producing cellulases and/or hemi-cellulases, comprising: a step for the production of enzymes with a medium being obtained containing enzymes and a microorganism must, said must is separated, or not separated, from the liquid containing said enzymes, a step of cooling said must to a temperature below the temperature of the enzyme production step and for a time such that the beta-glucosidase concentration of the liquid originating from the cooling step is greater than that of the liquid originating from the enzyme production step, and/or the solid volume/total volume ratio is less than said ratio for the enzyme production step, and an enzymatic cocktail is obtained at the end of the cooling step.
