Glycerol and rapeseed meal, two major by-products of biodiesel production, have been tested for possible use as low-cost raw materials for the production of microbial bio-oil using the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides. Using fed-batch fermentation with crude glycerol and a novel nitrogen rich nutrient source derived from rapeseed meal as feed, it was shown that 13 g/L lipids could be produced, compared with 9.4 g/L when crude glycerol was used with yeast extract. When 100 g/L pure glycerol was used, the final lipid concentration was 19.7 g/L with the novel biomedium compared to 16.2 g/L for yeast extract. The novel biomedium also resulted in higher lipid yields (0.19 g lipid/g glycerol consumed compared to 0.12 g/L) suggesting it provides a better carbon to nitrogen balance for accumulating lipids. FAMEs produced from the microbial lipids indicated a high degree of unsaturation confirming that the fatty acids produced from the novel biomedium have potential for biodiesel production.

Enhancing the value of nitrogen from rapeseed meal for microbial oil production Kiran, Esra Uckun; Salakkam, Apilak; Trzcinski, Antoine P.; Bakir, Ufuk; Webb, Colin (2012-05-10) Rapeseed meal, a major byproduct of biodiesel production, has been used as a low-cost raw material for the production of a generic microbial feedstock through a consolidated bioconversion process. Various strategies were tested for the production of a novel fermentation medium, rich in free amino nitrogen (FAN): commercial enzymes (CEs) (2.7 mg g(-1) dry meal), liquid state fungal pre-treatment (LSF) using Aspergillus oryzae (4.6 mg g(-1)), liquid state fungal pre-treatment followed by fungal autolysis (LSF...
Microbial biodiesel production by direct methanolysis of oleaginous biomass Thliveros, Panagiotis; Kiran, Esra Uckun; Webb, Colin (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01) Biodiesel is usually produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats with methanol, catalyzed by strong acids or bases. This study introduces a novel biodiesel production method that features direct base-catalyzed methanolysis of the cellular biomass of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides Y4. NaOH was used as catalyst for transesterification reactions and the variables affecting the esterification level including catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time, solve...
Ca-D(-)-lactate production from orange baggase via enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation Baltacı, Saadet Fatma; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2016) The utilization of low-cost renewable carbohydrate sources for the production of lactic acid which is widely used organic acid in food and polymer industry is a recent strategy in bioeconomy. The objective of this work was to produce Ca-D(-) -lactate as a precursor for D(-)-polylactic acid through the bioconversion of orange bagasse (OB) by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The hydrolysis of OB carried with dried and fresh OB, and cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes at 55 C, 150 rpm and 4.8 pH to eva...
Improvement of Pectinase Production by Co-culture of Bacillus spp. Using Apple Pomace as a Carbon Source Kuvvet, Ceren; UZUNER, SİBEL; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2019-05-01) Increasing interest in using food and agricultural wastes for low cost enzyme production continues in fermentation industry. Bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis, are known to produce pectinases in synthetic media and media amended with agricultural wastes as a carbon source, whereas the potential of co-culturing Bacillus species to produce pectinases has not been fully studied yet. In this study, co-culture of B. subtilis and B. pumilus was optimized for solid load and pH to maximize pectinase production...
Bacterial and fungal strain selections for cellulase and xylanase production using distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (2020-01-01) Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are by-products of dry-mill bioethanol production from corn and wheat. The DDGS is leftover by the yeast after converting the starch into ethanol and it has a high nutritional profile including undigested fiber and protein fractions. The DDGS can be used as cheap microbial feedstock for the production of cellulase and xylanases, which are produced from expensive industrial feedstocks. In this study, screening of several bacterial and fungal strains was done usin...
