Sentence examples for algal fermentation from inspiring English sources
Plant biomass is the primary source of simple sugars, and bacterial, fungal, and algal fermentation enable the transformation of these sugars into a wide range of renewable platform chemicals, fuels, and value-added products.
Overall finding from this study suggests that to date the most effective methods of producing biofuels from algal feedstocks are: fermentation of microalgae to bioethanol and production of biodiesel via in situ transesterification of microalgal biomass.
Especially high levels of biogas and biofuel can be produced using carbohydrate of algal biomass via fermentation process [ 4].
A substantial uptake of the carbohydrate by the fermenting bacteria occurred during thermophilic fermentation of algal biomass sonicated for 15 min or longer, coincided with the high bioenergy production (e.g., ethanol 5.6 g L-1 and hydrogen 2.5 mL L-1).
Significant cost reduction of algal biodiesel production through fermentation engineering based on the approach is expected.
A major limiting factor for achieving the necessary yield and titer improvements is cofactor imbalance during the fermentation of algal protein.
Ultrasonic intensification has been used as a pre-treatment prior to the fermentation of algal biomass for the production of bioethanol [ 74].
These previous findings were consistent with our observation showing an increase of carbohydrate consumption in the microbial fermentation of algal biomass after sonication treatment.
The maximum production of hydrogen (Hmax) via microbial fermentation of algal biomass at 55°C was 10% higher than achieved at 35°C, but the fermenting thermal conditions rarely affected the energy conversion efficiency (H2 yield).
Fermentation of fresh algal biomass at 35°C for 23 days resulted in a decrease in total carbohydrates from 0.37 g-carbohydrate g-1-biomass to 0.22 g-carbohydrate g-1-biomass, while the fermentation after 15 min sonication significantly reduced the total carbohydrates to 0.08 g-carbohydrate g-1-biomass.
The highest ethanol production among the experimental variations using algal biomass was comparable to the fermentation of equal amount of carbohydrate in starch (see Table 2 and Figure 3b and d).
