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 using DDGS as the feedstock for the hydrolytic enzyme production. Among all these strains, Aspergillus niger (NRRL 1956) produced the maximum cellulase of 0.592 IU/ml. On the other hand, stable high production of xylanase of 34.8 IU/ml was obtained by Aspergillus niger (NRRL 567) on day twelfth. Bacterial enzyme production by Bacillus subtilis (NRRL NSR352, DSM 17766, and NF1) was relatively lower (0-0.261 IU/ml for cellulase and 1.2-5.2 IU/ml for xylanase) than the fungal enzyme production. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the hydrolyzed DDGS can be an alternative economical substrate for A. niger strains to produce cellulase and xylanase, respectively. The next phases of the study should further optimize the production of cellulase and xylanase in terms of growth parameters and medium components by using benchtop bioreactors.

Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and its potential as fermentation feedstock Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-07-01) Distillers' dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is a byproduct of bioethanol fermentation, which uses the dry milling technology for starch-rich grains such as corn, wheat, and barley. The current interest in bioethanol is increasing due to the need for renewable liquid fuels specifically in the transportation sector. Since DDGS is rich in crude protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, it is currently used as aquaculture, livestock, and poultry feeds. In recent years, DDGS has been used as feedstock in the...
Optimization of dilute sulfuric acid, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pretreatments steps for distillers' dried grains with solubles as a potential fermentation feedstock Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01) Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is the by-product of bioethanol production from starch-rich grains through dry-mill fermentation. In this study, dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pre-treatment methods were optimized. The central composite response surface methodology (RSM) design was used for optimization of dilute acid pretreatment, aqueous ammonia pretreatment. The steam explosion trials were evaluated. The results show that the dilute acid pretreat...
Comparison of common carbon sources with unhydrolyzed, dilute acid and steam hydrolyzed distillers’ dried grains with solubles for lignocellulolytic enzyme productions by fungal strains Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (2023-05-15) Distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are the byproduct of first-generation bioethanol production. DDGS has a high fiber content, which can be used for hydrolytic enzyme production after pretreatment by physical or chemical methods such as dilute acid or semi-continuous steam explosion. This study compares the treated DDGS samples to common carbon sources such as glucose, Avicel (crystalline cellulose), and untreated DDGS along with other cellulosic materials during the production of cellulases and ...
Bacterial cellulase production using grape pomace hydrolysate and synthetic sugar as sole carbon sources by shake-flask submerged fermentation Kurt, Ayşe Sultan; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Grape pomace is the major waste in the wine industry and it consists of high moisture content and residual sugars, which make it susceptible to rapid microbial spoilage. Thus, it needs to be disposed of with care to eliminate both environmental and health problems. The carbohydrate fraction of grape pomace is a fibrous material, and is an additional source of fermentable sugars to produce biofuel and hydrolytic enzymes. In this study, grape pomace hydrolysate was used for cellulase production with Bacillus ...
Salt and nitrogen amendment and optimization for cellulase and xylanase production using dilute acid hydrolysate of distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as the feedstock Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (2022-01-01) Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a by-product of dry-mill corn ethanol production comprising a high nutritional value due to residual fiber, protein, and lipid contents. The fiber content of DDGS is high enough to be considered a valuable source for the production of hydrolytic enzymes, such as cellulase and xylanases, which can be used for hydrolysis of lignocellulosic feedstock during ethanol production. The DDGS-based medium prepared after acid hydrolysis provides adequate sugars for enzy...
