The yield was increased by 21.7% (from 11.7 to 14.3 g/l) when F2m1 medium was used. The production was further verified and optimized in fedbatch- mode in a laboratory fermentor using F2m3 medium and the optimized conditions (agitation 500 rpm, aeration; 1.5 for 3 days then control DO at 30% thereafter, pH; 6.5 for 3 days then 7 thereafter and control temperature at 28°C). Fed-batching of glucose syrup (5% v/v at day 3) and glucose (1% at days 6 and 8) increased the yield from 17.8 to 20.9 g/l (17.3%) at day 10. A yield of upto 20 g/l was recorded when 0.1% uracil was fed-batched at day 2. Integration of the most optimum conditions for fed-batching glucose syrup, glucose and uracil further increased the yield from 17.8 to 24.8 g/l (39%) in 10 days. The overall optimization of rifamycin B production increased the yield almost 2 folds. Statistical analysis revealed that there is a significant increase in rifamycin B production by using One-Way ANOVA at p<0.05 in all the tested fed-batch addition regimes.","PeriodicalId":12351,"journal":{"name":"Fermentation Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85662646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To optimise the production of antimicrobial compounds from three strains of Streptomyces spp. isolated from the Amazon’s soil, we investigated the influence of physical (temperature, pH, agitation and time) and chemical (concentrations of carbon and nitrogen) variables, according to a factorial statistical design consisting of three repetitions at the central point. During a period between five and twenty days of incubation, the temperature was varied between 20 and 40°C, the pH was varied between 4.5 and 8.5, and the agitation was varied between 100 and 300 rpm. The concentrations of carbon and nitrogen sources ranged from 5 to 15 g/L and 0.5 to 1.5 g/L, respectively, and the results were evaluated using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Our data showed that the most effective carbon sources were starch and glycerol and that the best sources of nitrogen were phenylalanine, ammonia sulphate, asparagine and peptone. The results of this study showed that the temperature, incubation time and the culture medium directly influenced the production of metabolites (antibiotics). These parameters can be modified for the optimisation and improvement of the fermentation process by increasing the production of the compound of interest. Each Streptomyces behaved differently, requiring specific conditions for the production of secondary metabolites.","PeriodicalId":12351,"journal":{"name":"Fermentation Technology","volume":"34 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81855436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethanol is a widely used biofuel. Currently, ethanol is blended with gasoline at a level of 10% (in US) to 85% (in Brazil), so that consumption of non-renewable gasoline can be reduced. Ethanol provided 2.2% of the world’s fuels for road transport in 2010. Among all the biofuels, ethanol has the highest level of production. In 2010 worldwide biofuel production reached 28 billion gallons, of which ethanol accounted for 23 billion gallons. According to the International Energy Agency, biofuels have the potential to meet more than a quarter of world demand for transportation fuels by 2050. Most of ethanol produced today is obtained from corn starch or from sucrose contained in sugarcane and sugar beet. Demonstration plants have been built for producing ethanol from lignocellulose, the most abundant organic resource on earth. Extensive research is being undertaken for commercialization of cellulosic ethanol. Besides developing efficient enzymes or thermochemical processes for breaking down lignocelluloses to sugar, a major portion of the research also focuses on metabolic engineering of microbes so that sugars present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates can be fermented to ethanol with high yield and productivity. Typically, characterization of these recombinant microbes is carried out in fermenters up to 10 liter volume, under anaerobic conditions in a batch process. Comparison of ethanol productivity and yield data is used to establish the effectiveness of the recombinant microbes.","PeriodicalId":12351,"journal":{"name":"Fermentation Technology","volume":"28 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81194722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The excessive accumulation of byproducts in the culture may also inhibit growth of cell and repress the secretion of the target metabolite. Integration of fermentation and separation of fermentative products or byproducts is the possible approach to be used industrially to reduce product or byproduct inhibition aim at enhancement of fermentation performance. Production of many antibiotics, amino acids and fungal metabolites are subject to feedback inhibition, where the problem shall be reduced to enhance the product yield. On the other hand, production of some metabolites by microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria and recombinant bacteria, are subject to byproduct inhibition. In recent years, commercial production of proteins and metabolites from microbial fermentation for industrial applications has increased significantly. Innovative fermentation shall be developed to replace the conventional methods to ensure that the process is economically viable and the price of products become competitive. To overcome the problem related to feedback repression and the accumulation of the undesirable by-products in the culture, many strategies such as genetic modification, application of fed-batch fermentation, adsorptive membranes, electrodialysis and macroporous ion-exchange resins have been proposed. Inclusion of macroporous adsorbent resin in the culture in combination with effective fermentation may be used as effective approaches to reduce feedback inhibition or to reduce the accumulation of repressive byproducts. This, will in turn, may increase the product yield.","PeriodicalId":12351,"journal":{"name":"Fermentation Technology","volume":"31 2 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75229825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With world energy consumption predicted to increase 54% between 2001 and 2025, primary attention has been directed towards the development of carbon neutral energy and sustainable sources to meet the future needs [1]. Reductions of fossil fuels, environmental deterioration, and fluctuating prices of traditional fuels have revived an interest in the development of renewable fuels. Concerns regarding green house gas emission, energy scarcity and the desire for energy independence are increasing the pace and intensity of biofuel research and commercialization. Biofuels are an attractive substitute to current petroleum based fuels because they can be utilized as transportation fuels with diminutive change to current technologies; they also have significant potential to improve sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Liquid (i.e., ethanol, butanol, biodiesel) or gaseous (i.e., methane or hydrogen) biofuels are generally produced from organic materials such as starch, oilseeds and animal fats or cellulose and agricultural biomass. While in some countries such as South Africa and Russia, ABE fermentation process remained competitive due to the low raw material and labor costs, it had lost competitiveness in other countries by 1960s, owing to the increase of feedstock costs and advancement of the petrochemical industry [2]. Since the late 1990s global biofuel research has steadily been on the rise, with new modified micro-organisms, pretreatments, process configurations and technologies, thereby improving conversion efficiencies and decreasing production cost. In first-generation biofuel, plant sugars and starch from food crops were fermented to biofuel by yeast. The advent of second-generation biofuels broadened the feedstock base to include non-food cellulosic biomass by incorporating chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis in various process configurations [3]. Third-generation biofuels employed enzyme-producing micro-organisms such as algae, to hydrolyze plant polymers and ferment the resulting sugars. The Canadian government supports the development of biofuel production through a $2 billion commitment in the 2007 Federal Budget. A longstanding federal and provincial excise tax exemption on renewable fuels has encouraged the renewable fuels to be competitive with gasoline. In the United States, according to a report from the Department of Energy (DOE) titled “Roadmap for Biomass Technology in the United States”, bio-based transportation fuels are projected to increase from 0.5% of U.S consumption in 2001 to 4% in 2010, 10% in 2020, and further to 20-30% in 2030, or about 60 billion gallons of gasoline equivalent per year. This is in addition to 10–12 billion pounds of butanol annually ","PeriodicalId":12351,"journal":{"name":"Fermentation Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85015098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact this research area has very dynamic for several decades and important innovative solutions have been brought about for industrial problems by scientists.

One of the main human challenges over the ages has been to find and exploit the best and most efficient source of energy. Mastering of wood, coal, petroleum and nuclear powers have marked out the path to progress. Today, petroleum and coal represent the most extensively used energy source worldwide and the resources tend to be depleted. The large scale burning of fossil fuels also comes at a high environmental cost and we are still trying to imagine the next generation energy source. It is not expected that renewable energies based on the harvest of solar or wind energy will supplant fossil fuels in the near future. Thus, we are stranded with fossil fuels for at least the next few decades and need to find ways to make our use of fossil fuels cause the least environmental impact. One approach to reducing the environmental impact of fossil fuel usage is to lower CO2 emission per Kj of energy, a claimed advantage of biogenic methane. Thus, in time of declining discovery of conventional fossil fuel reserves and the ongoing issues relating to security of energy supply and global warming methane may represent the future for fossil fuels.","PeriodicalId":12351,"journal":{"name":"Fermentation Technology","volume":"71 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76769692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
