Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Steam-treated wheat straw at a 70% (w/w) moisture level was subjected to solid substrate fermentation (SSF) with Trichoderma reesei (Riga, USSR) or a mixed culture of T. reesei and Endomycopsis fibuliger (R-574) in fermentation equipment of various design: some with mixing, some with stationary layers, including a mixedlayer 1.5-m(3) pilot plant scale fermenter. The best protein productivity was obtained in stationary layer fermenters with a product containing 13% protein. The main limitations of lignocellulose SSF, such as hindrance of fungal growth, limiting accessibility and availability of substrate, and difficulty in moisture and heat control, were analyzed. The technological parameters of SSF, submerged fermentation, and alternate lignocellulose conversion processes were compared. The SSF had lower overall efficiency but higher product concentration per reaction volume than other conversion schemes.
