Abstract
The multidimensional approach for ethanol production from rice straw was opted by three distinct phases: firstly, statistical optimization of β-glucosidase production from co-culture of Aspergillus fumigatus ABK9 and Trichoderma reesei SAP3 through mixed substrate (wheat bran and rice straw) fermentation; secondly, enzymatic saccharification of pretreated rice straw for high yield of reducing sugar and finally, statistical optimization of bioconversion of the sugar to ethanol by mixed fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTCC 173 and Zymomonas mobilis MTCC 2428. In optimized media, maximum β-glucosidase yield of 265.4Ug−1 was achieved. Enzymatic treatment (40Ug−1) of NaOH pretreated rice straw produced maximum reducing sugar of 24.9gL−1. It also showed maximum enzyme adsorption (Emax) by 2 fold and decreased the absorption coefficient (Kad) by 37.64% relative to untreated straw. During ethanol fermentation, inoculum ratio became most influencing factor to maximize ethanol production of 40.1gL−1, indicating the influencing effect of the perpetrator strains.
