The fermentation was performed by inoculating the seed solution (containing corncob powder and yeast) and cellulase into the synchronous saccharification fermentation medium. Single-factor experiments and orthogonal experiments were performed, and the optimal processing conditions were obtained based on the characterizations of alcohol content and sensory evaluation. The results show that the alcohol content and sensory evaluation of the drink can reach 6.1 vol.% and 92, respectively, when the dosage of cellulase, inoculum concentration of yeast, the fermentation temperature and the fermentation time are 15 U/g, 7%, 32℃ and 84 h, respectively.展开更多

Maximum cellulose production performed in 250 mL erlenmeyer flask with submerged fermentation attained at 50＂C, pH 5, 140 r· min-1 for 24 h. Results showed the efficient cellulose production from acid steam pretreatrnent （being autoclaved at 15 Psi for 15 rain） than acid pretreatment. The optimum condition for maximum carboxymethyl cellulas （CMCase） was 1.811 IU·mL-1·min-1 （0.8% acid cone., 10 g biomass loading, 6 h reaction time） and filter paper activity （FPase） was 2.255 IU·mL·-1·min-1 （1% acid conc., 10 g biomass loading, 8 h reaction time）. Whereas, the acid steam maximum CMCase activity recorded was 2.585 IU·mL-1·min-1 （0.8% acid cone., 15 g substrate loading and 8 h reaction time） and the highest FPase activity was 2.055 IU·mL-1·min-1 （0.8% cone., 10 g biomass, 6 h reaction time then autoclaved）. Results revealed that acid pretreated Eucalyptus leaves were better lignocellulosic biomass for cellulose production by submerged fermentation.展开更多

In this experiment a strain of Bacillus subtilis was isolated and identified, and its ability to degrade cellulose was also measured. The results showed that Bacillus subtilis had strong capacity to degrade cellulose(62.3% was degraded) and weak capacity to degrade hemicellulose(17.2% was degraded), while it could hardly degrade lignin. The total protein amount in the fermentation medium with cellulose-rich substrate reached by 9.4% after Bacillus subtilis fermentation, compared with that without cellulose-rich substrate. Furthermore, the amounts of Met, Lys and Leu reached by 31.4%, 42.2% and 4.9%, respectively. At 36 h of fermentation, the activity of cellulase reached the highest, and at this time the activity of the enzyme was obtained at 7.19 U · mL-1. The mRNA expression level of the cellulase gene was detected by qPCR, and the experimental group with cellulose substrate was about 2.5 times more than that of the non-cellulose substrate control group. These above results demonstrated that this strain of Bacillus subtilis had a strong ability to degrade cellulose, and synthesize more proteins and restrictive essential amino acids. This study revealed that Bacillus subtilis was a new alternative to ferment cellulose substrates to produce commercial feed or feed additives.展开更多

In contrast, species from section Longibrachiatum have only rarely been studied. On the other hand, one taxon from this section-Hypocrea jecorina (anamorph: Trichoderma reesei)-has been widely used for the production of cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic enzymes and recombinant proteins. As far as Trichoderma is concerned, molecular genetic methods and tools are most advanced in H. jecorina, and its genome has recently been fully sequenced, thus making this taxon a model organism for the genus. Here we will demonstrate that H. jecorina is able to antagonize plant pathogenic fungi in plate confrontation tests, and can protect tomato and cucumber plants against Pythium ultimum blight. Using this as a model case, we made use of available H. jecorina mutants to investigate (a) whether carbon catabolite repression via the Cre1-regulator protein has an impact on biocontrol, and (b) whether cellulase gene expression is necessary for biocontrol of P. ultimum. In the first case, plate confrontation tests and in planta experiments yielded opposite results, i.e. while a Cre1 mutant was more active in antagonization of fungi on plates, the survival rates of P. ultimum-inoculated cucumber plants was lower than with the H. jecorina wild-type strain. Mutants of H. jecorina, unable to form cellulases, were still able to antagonize fungi on plates and provided similar protection of tomatos against P. ultimum as the wild type, indicating that the pronounced biocontrol ability of H. jecorina against fungi with cellulose-containing cell-walls is not due to its high cellulolytic activity. A strain disrupted in the light-modulator gene envoy (Schmoll et al., ms submitted) exhibited in planta biocontrol activity strongly exceeding that of the wild-type strain, thereby providing a first link between Trichoderma biocontrol and light. In view of the numerous other metabolic and regulatory mutants of H. jecorina available, we suggest that this fungus should increasingly be used in basic studies on the biochemistry and genetics of biocontrol.展开更多

Based on 16 Sr DNA analysis by BLAST algorithm method, the results showed that most of the strains were Bacillus genera, and six of the 29 strains were bigger than 10 mm of diameter of clear zones. For them, two strains were isolated from rumen fluid(L5 and L7) and other two were isolated from rumen residue(N5 and N9), while others were isolated from soil(T1) and diet(S6), respectively. Strains from rumen fluid and residue had higher activities of FPCase and CMCase, but lower β-glucosidases.展开更多
