The WIS fraction of pretreated bagasse samples was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis to evaluate the effect of the pretreatment and the differences between sugarcane varieties on the hydrolysis of bagasse. These experiments were conducted in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks. The flasks were loaded with 1 g (dry weight) of WIS and 50 ml of 0.05 M citrate buffer (pH 4.8) with the enzyme solution, to give a solids loading of 2% (w/v). Sodium azide was added at a concentration of 0.02% (w/v) to prevent microbial growth. Two commercial enzymes preparations were used: Spezyme CP (Genencor-Danisco, Brabrand, Denmark) with cellulase activity of 65 FPU/ml and Novozym 188 (Novozymes A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) with β-glucosidase activity of 995 IU/ml. Enzyme activities were determined according to Ghose [34 ]. Cellulase loading of 0.2308 mL/ g WIS (15 FPU/g WIS) of Spezyme CP supplemented with β-glucosidase of 0.01508 mL/g WIS (15 IU/g WIS) was applied in all the experiments. Flasks loaded with the mixtures were placed in water bath maintained at 50°C with shaking at 90 rpm. Samples were withdrawn after 72 h and prepared for analysis as described below.

Untreated forest residues were provided by SLU (Umeå, Sweden). The total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS) of the materials were as follows (w/w): spruce, 90.81% TS and 90.49% VS; pine, 91.45% TS and 91.26% VS; birch, 92.07% TS and 91.86% VS. The thermophilic anaerobic sludge used during this work was collected from a biogas plant in Boden, Sweden, where sewage sludge and food waste are co-digested.
The cellulolytic enzymes used during this work were the commercial enzyme solutions Celluclast® 1.5L and Novozym® 188 (Novozymes A/S, Bagsværd, Denmark) at a ratio of 5:1 v/v. The activity of the mixture was measured to be equal to 83 filter paper units (FPU)/mL.

Enhancing Methane Yields via Thermal and Enzymatic Pretreatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
During this work two different treatments were applied to improve methane yields, one thermal and one enzymatic, alone or in combination. Thermal treatment was performed using an autoclave apparatus at 105°C for 1 hour with sweet sorghum's concentration of 20% w/w.
During enzymatic treatment, a mixture of the commercial enzyme solutions Celluclast 1.5 L and Novozym 188 (Novozymes A/S, Denmark) at 5 : 1 v/v ratio was used at the same enzyme loading that was previously found optimal for sweet sorghum saccharification during ethanol production [16 ]. Two different process configurations were evaluated during the enzymatic treatment, namely, one-step and two-step processes. In one-step process, the enzymes were directly added in the sludge, whereas in the two-step process sweet sorghum was enzymatically presaccharified prior to the addition to sludge. During the two-step process the saccharification was performed at 50°C for 8.6 hours at 20% w/w DM content. In order to avoid the hydrolysis of sucrose by Novozym 188 endogenous invertase activity and subsequent inhibition of cellulases, the enzymatic solution was added in the startup of anaerobic digestion stage.

The washed substrates were enzymatically hydrolyzed using Celluclast 1.5 L (Novozymes, DK) supplemented with β-glucosidase (Novozym 188, Novozymes, DK). Enzymatic hydrolysis was conducted at 2% (w/v) solids in sodium acetate buffer (50 mM, pH 4.8), 50 °C, 120 rpm in a rotatory incubator Combi-H12 (FINEPCR, KR). The total volume was 1.5 mL, in 2.0-mL tubes. The protein loadings, based on the Celluclast protein content (130 mg/mL; 60 FPU/mL), were 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/g of cellulose in the PSCB. Novozym 188 (458 UI/mL) was added in order to have a β-glucosidase activity 2 times higher than the filter paper activity in the reaction mixture. After 72 h, the enzymes were inactivated by heating at 100 °C for 5 min. The glucose concentration in the hydrolysate was measured using the glucose oxidase assay [56 (link)]. Hydrolyses were analyzed in triplicates and the standard deviation was calculated.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
