Abstract
Candida boidinii is a methylotrophic yeast with wide geographical distribution. In the present study, the microorganism was isolated from the Bahian semiarid and the enzymatic extract containing β-glucosidase was obtained through submerged fermentation. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize of fermentation medium. The higher production of β-glucosidase was obtained after 71 h of fermentation in an optimized medium composed of 3.35% glucose, 1.78% yeast extract and 1% peptone. The optimum pH and temperature of enzymatic activity were 6.8 (citrate-phosphate buffer) and 71.7 °C, respectively. Salts tested (10 mM) CaCl2, Na2SO4 and ZnSO4 promotes the increase of 91%, 45% and 80% of activity, respectively. The enzyme retained 64% ± 2.3 of its initial activity after 1 h heating at 90 °C. The production of reducing sugars was 95.94% after 24 h of hydrolysis and, with the addition of metal ions, this value increased more than 2 times. Among the supports analyzed for immobilization, chitosan showed higher residual activity during reuse. The immobilized enzyme showed higher activity at 60 °C with pH 6 and preserved almost 100% of the initial activity after 30 min at 70 °C.

Enhanced lignin degradation by Irpex lacteus through expanded sterilization further improved the fermentation quality and microbial community during the silage preservation process. BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2024; 11:14. [PMID: 38647879 PMCID: PMC10992542 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-024-00730-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Traditional autoclaving, slow degradation rate and preservation of biomass treated by fungi are the main factors restricting biological treatment. In our previous studies, strains with high efficiency and selective lignin degradation ability were obtained. To further solve the limiting factors of biological treatment, this paper proposed a composite treatment technology, which could replace autoclaves for fungal treatment and improve the preservation and utilization of fungal-pretreated straw. The autoclaved and expanded buckwheat straw were, respectively, degraded by Irpex lacteus for 14 days (CIL, EIL), followed by ensiling of raw materials (CK) and biodegraded straw of CIL and EIL samples with Lactobacillus plantarum for different days, respectively (CP, CIP, EIP). An expansion led to lactic acid bacteria, mold, and yeast of the samples below the detection line, and aerobic bacteria was significantly reduced, indicating a positive sterilization effect. Expansion before I. lacteus significantly enhanced lignin selective degradation by about 6%, and the absolute content of natural detergent solute was about 5% higher than that of the CIL. Moreover, EIL decreased pH by producing higher organic acids. The combination treatment created favorable conditions for ensiling. During ensiling, EIP silage produced high lactic acid about 26.83 g/kg DM and the highest acetic acid about 22.35 g/kg DM, and the pH value could be stable at 4.50. Expansion before I. lacteus optimized the microbial community for ensiling, resulting in EIP silage co-dominated by Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Weissella, whereas only Lactobacillus was always dominant in CP and CIP silage. Clavispora gradually replaced Irpex in EIP silage, which potentially promoted lactic acid bacteria growth and acetic acid production. In vitro gas production (IVGP) in EIL was increased by 30% relative to CK and was higher than 24% in CIL. The role of expansion was more significant after ensiling, the IVGP in EIP was increased by 22% relative to CP, while that in CIP silage was only increased by 9%. Silage of fungal-treated samples reduced methane emissions by 28% to 31%. The study demonstrated that expansion provides advantages for fungal colonization and delignification, and further improves the microbial community and fermentation quality for silage, enhancing the nutrition and utilization value. This has practical application value for scaling up biological treatment and preserving the fungal-treated lignocellulose.

Cellulosic Ethanol Production Using a Dual Functional Novel Yeast. Int J Microbiol 2022; 2022:7853935. [PMID: 35295685 PMCID: PMC8920679 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7853935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Reducing the cost of cellulosic ethanol production, especially for cellulose hydrolytic enzymes, is vital to growing a sustainable and efficient cellulosic ethanol industry and bio-based economy. Using an ethanologenic yeast able to produce hydrolytic enzymes, such as Clavispora NRRL Y-50464, is one solution. NRRL Y-50464 is fast-growing and robust, and tolerates inhibitory compounds 2-furaldehyde (furfural) and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) associated with lignocellulose-to-fuel conversion. It produces three forms of β-glucosidase isozymes, BGL1, BGL2, and BGL3, and ferment cellobiose as the sole carbon source. These β-glucosidases exhibited desirable enzyme kinetic parameters and high levels of enzyme-specific activity toward cellobiose and many oligosaccharide substrates. They tolerate the product inhibition of glucose and ethanol, and are stable to temperature and pH conditions. These characteristics are desirable for more efficient cellulosic ethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. NRRL Y-50464 provided the highest cellulosic ethanol titers and conversion rates at lower cellulase loadings, using either pure cellulose or agricultural residues, as so far reported in the literature. This review summarizes NRRL Y-50464 performance on cellulosic ethanol production from refined cellulose, rice straw, and corn stover processed in various ways, in the presence or absence of furfural and HMF. This dual functional yeast has potential to serve as a prototype for the development of next-generation biocatalysts. Perspectives on continued strain development and process engineering improvements for more efficient cellulosic ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Cellulosic ethanol production has received global attention to use as transportation fuels with gasoline blending virtue of carbon benefits and decarbonization. However, due to changing feedstock composition, natural resistance, and a lack of cost-effective pretreatment and downstream processing, contemporary cellulosic ethanol biorefineries are facing major sustainability issues. As a result, we've outlined the global status of present cellulosic ethanol facilities, as well as main roadblocks and technical challenges for sustainable and commercial cellulosic ethanol production. Additionally, the article highlights the technical and non-technical barriers, various R&D advancements in biomass pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation strategies that have been deliberated for low-cost sustainable fuel ethanol. Moreover, selection of a low-cost efficient pretreatment method, process simulation, unit integration, state-of-the-art in one pot saccharification and fermentation, system microbiology/ genetic engineering for robust strain development, and comprehensive techno-economic analysis are all major bottlenecks that must be considered for long-term ethanol production in the transportation sector.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of biorefinery systems that use lignocellulosic biomass as a renewable carbon source to produce fuels and chemicals is attracting increasing attention. The process cost of enzymatic saccharification of biomass is a major challenge for commercialization. To decrease this cost, researchers have proposed on-site solid-state fermentation (SSF). This study investigated the feasibility of using Aspergillus oryzae as a host microorganism for SSF recombinant enzyme production with ammonia-treated rice straw as model biomass. Eight A. oryzae strains were tested, all of which are used in the food industry. We evaluated the effects of acetic acid, a fermentation inhibitor. We also developed a platform strain for targeted recombinant enzyme production by gene engineering technologies. RESULTS The SSF validation test showed variation in the visibility of mycelium growth and secreted protein in all eight A. oryzae strains. The strains used to produce shoyu and miso grew better under test conditions. The ammonia-treated rice straw contained noticeable amounts of acetic acid. This acetic acid enhanced the protein production by A. oryzae in a liquid-state fermentation test. The newly developed platform strain successfully secreted three foreign saccharifying enzymes. CONCLUSIONS A. oryzae is a promising candidate as a host microorganism for on-site SSF recombinant enzyme production, which bodes well for the future development of a more cost-efficient saccharifying enzyme production system.

Abstract
β-glucosidases are a class of enzyme that are widely distributed in the living world, with examples noted in plants, fungi, animals and bacteria. They offer both hydrolysis and synthesis capacity for a wide range of biotechnological processes. However, the availability of native, or the production of recombinant β-glucosidases, is currently a bottleneck in the widespread industrial application of this enzyme. In this present work, the production of recombinant β-glucosidase from Streptomyces griseus was optimised using a Design of Experiments strategy, comprising a two-stage, multi-model design. Three screening models were comparatively employed: Fractional Factorial, Plackett-Burman and Definitive Screening Design. Four variables (temperature, incubation time, tryptone, and OD600 nm) were experimentally identified as having statistically significant effects on the production of S.griseus recombinant β-glucosidase in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The four most influential variables were subsequently used to optimise recombinant β-glucosidase production, employing Central Composite Design under Response Surface Methodology. Optimal levels were identified as: OD600 nm, 0.55; temperature, 26 °C; incubation time, 12 h; and tryptone, 15 g/L. This yielded a 2.62-fold increase in recombinant β-glucosidase production, in comparison to the pre-optimised process. Affinity chromatography resulted in homogeneous, purified β-glucosidase that was characterised in terms of pH stability, metal ion compatibility and kinetic rates for p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) and cellobiose catalysis.

Abstract
A low-cost and sustainable cellulosic ethanol production is vital for fermentation-based industrial applications. Reducing the expenses of cellulose-deconstruction enzymes is one of the significant challenges to economic cellulose-to-ethanol conversion. Here, we report the improved ethanol production from corn stover after dry biorefining using a natural β-glucosidase-producing strain Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 with a low cellulase dose of 5 mg protein/g glucan under separate enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) conditions. Strain Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 exhibited a superior ethanol fermentation performance over Saccharomyces cerevisiae DQ1 under both conditions. It produced an ethanol titer of 38.1 g/L within 96 h at a conversion efficiency of 55.5% with 25% solids loading (w/w) via SSF without addition of extra β-glucosidase supplement. Improved performance of Y-50464 on a bioreactor with a helical stirring apparatus confirmed its advantage over the conventional bioreactors originally designed for liquid fermentations in cellulosic ethanol conversion by SSF. The results of this study suggested that the strain Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 has a potential as a candidate for lower-cost cellulosic ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

Abstract
The limited catalytic efficiency of cellulose-degrading enzymes restricts cellulose digestion. We investigated the transcriptional regulation of genes encoding key cellulose degrading enzymes, namely β-glucosidases, in the industrial actinobacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea. We observed that the expression of most β-glucosidase-encoding genes was controlled by the availability of nitrogen and phosphate via their respective global regulators, namely GlnR and PhoP. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay demonstrated that GlnR and PhoP bound directly to the promoters of β-glucosidase-encoding genes. Deletion of glnR resulted in lower transcript levels and activity of β-glucosidases, leading to decreased bacterial growth on cellulose. Overexpression of glnR and phoP or nitrogen/phosphate starvation increased the transcript levels and total activity of β-glucosidases. Moreover, GlnR/PhoP-mediated cellobiose utilization was also observed in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). These findings provide insights into the regulatory roles played by GlnR and PhoP in coordinating nitrogen/phosphate metabolism and carbohydrate utilization, and indicate potential strategies for cellulose fermentation in the production of bio-based chemicals by actinobacteria.

Abstract
Yeasts are good candidates to utilize the hydrolysates of lignocellulose, the most abundant bioresource, for bioproducts. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiencies of single-cell protein (SCP) and xylitol production by a novel yeast strain, Candida intermedia FL023, from lignocellulosic hydrolysates and xylose. This strain efficiently assimilated hexose, pentose, and cellubiose for cell mass production with the crude protein content of 484.2 g kg−1 dry cell mass. SCP was produced by strain FL023 using corncob hydrolysate and urea as the carbon and nitrogen sources with the dry cell mass productivity 0.86 g L−1 h−1 and the yield of 0.40 g g−1 sugar. SCP was also produced using NaOH-pretreated Miscanthus sinensis straw and corn steep liquor as the carbon and nitrogen sources through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with the dry cell productivity of 0.23 g L−1 h−1 and yield of 0.17 g g−1 straw. C. intermedia FL023 was tolerant to 0.5 g L−1 furfural, acetic acid, and syringaldehyde in xylitol fermentation and produced 45.7 g L−1 xylitol from xylose with the productivity of 0.38 g L−1 h−1 and the yield of 0.57 g g−1 xylose. This study provides feasible methods for feed and food additive production from the abundant lignocellulosic bioresources.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases are diverse group of enzymes with great functional importance to biological systems. These are grouped in multiple glycoside hydrolase families based on their catalytic and sequence characteristics. Most studies carried out on β-glucosidases are focused on their industrial applications rather than their endogenous function in the target organisms. β-Glucosidases performed many functions in bacteria as they are components of large complexes called cellulosomes and are responsible for the hydrolysis of short chain oligosaccharides and cellobiose. In plants, β-glucosidases are involved in processes like formation of required intermediates for cell wall lignification, degradation of endosperm’s cell wall during germination and in plant defense against biotic stresses. Mammalian β-glucosidases are thought to play roles in metabolism of glycolipids and dietary glucosides, and signaling functions. These enzymes have diverse biotechnological applications in food, surfactant, biofuel, and agricultural industries. The search for novel and improved β-glucosidase is still continued to fulfills demand of an industrially suitable enzyme. In this review, a comprehensive overview on detailed functional roles of β-glucosidases in different organisms, their industrial applications, and recent cloning and expression studies with biochemical characterization of such enzymes is presented for the better understanding and efficient use of diverse β-glucosidases.

Two New Native β-Glucosidases from Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 Confer Its Dual Function as Cellobiose Fermenting Ethanologenic Yeast. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0151293.

Abstract
Yeast strain Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 is able to produce cellulosic ethanol from lignocellulosic materials without addition of external β-glucosidase by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. A β-glucosidase BGL1 protein from this strain was recently reported supporting its cellobiose utilization capability. Here, we report two additional new β-glucosidase genes encoding enzymes designated as BGL2 and BGL3 from strain NRRL Y-50464. Quantitative gene expression was analyzed and the gene function of BGL2 and BGL3 was confirmed by heterologous expression using cellobiose as a sole carbon source. Each gene was cloned and partially purified protein obtained separately for direct enzyme assay using varied substrates. Both proteins showed the highest specific activity at pH 5 and relatively strong affinity with a Km of 0.08 and 0.18 mM for BGL2 and BGL3, respectively. The optimum temperature was found to be 50°C for BGL2 and 55°C for BGL3. Both proteins were able to hydrolyze 1,4 oligosaccharides evaluated in this study. They also showed a strong resistance to glucose product inhibition with a Ki of 61.97 and 38.33 mM for BGL2 and BGL3, respectively. While BGL3 was sensitive showing a significantly reduced activity to 4% ethanol, BGL2 demonstrated tolerance to ethanol. Its activity was enhanced in the presence of ethanol but reduced at concentrations greater than 16%. The presence of the fermentation inhibitors furfural and HMF did not affect the enzyme activity. Our results suggest that a β-glucosidase gene family exists in Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 with at least three members in this group that validate its cellobiose hydrolysis functions for lower-cost cellulosic ethanol production. Results of this study confirmed the cellobiose hydrolysis function of strain NRRL Y-50464, and further supported this dual functional yeast as a candidate for lower-cost cellulosic ethanol production and next-generation biocatalyst development in potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Corncob residue as the lignocellulosic biomass accumulated phenolic compounds generated from xylitol production industry. For utilization of this biomass, Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 was tested as the ethanol fermenting strain and presented a better performance of cell growth (2.8 × 10(8) CFU/mL) and ethanol fermentability (54.42 g/L) in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) than the typical robust strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae DQ1 (cell growth of 2.9 × 10(7) CFU/mL, ethanol titer of 48.6 g/L). The physiological response of Z. mobilis ZM4 to the twelve typical phenolic compounds derived from lignocellulose was assayed and compared with that of S. cerevisiae DQ1. Z. mobilis ZM4 showed nearly the same tolerance to the phenolic aldehydes with S. cerevisiae DQ1, but the stronger tolerance to the phenolic acids existing in corncob residue (2-furoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, and syringic acid). The tolerance mechanism of Z. mobilis was investigated in terms of inhibitor degradation, cell morphology and membrane permeability under the stress of phenolics using GC-MS, scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), as well as fluorescent probes. The results reveal that Z. mobilis ZM4 has the capability for in situ detoxification of phenolic aldehydes, and the lipopolysaccharide aggregation on the cell outer membrane of Z. mobilis ZM4 provided the permeable barrier to the attack of phenolic acids.

Abstract
Enzyme recycling by re-adsorption is one of the primary methods for reducing enzyme usage in lignocellulose conversion. This work proposes the combination of an engineered yeast strain that expresses β-glucosidase with enzyme recycling to reduce the amount of supplemented β-glucosidase in enzyme recycling experiments. Using the engineered strain, a slight increase in ethanol concentration was obtained after a 96-h fermentation of pretreated corncobs. Ethanol concentrations increased by 34.7% and 62.7% in the following two recycle rounds using the engineered strain compared with those using its parental strain without β-glucosidase addition. Furthermore, with the addition of β-glucosidase at 30CBU/g cellulose, the ethanol concentration after two recycle rounds exceeded 90% of that observed in the first SSF round with the engineered strain at a high initial cellulase loading of 45FPU/g cellulose.

Abstract
Increased energy consumption and environmental concerns have driven efforts to produce chemicals from renewable biomass with high selectivity. Here, the selective conversion of cellulose in corncob residue, a process waste from the production of xylose, to levulinic acid was carried out using AlCl3 as catalyst and NaCl as promoter by a hydrothermal method at relatively low temperature. A levulinic acid yield of 46.8 mol% was obtained, and the total selectivity to levulinic acid with formic acid was beyond 90%. NaCl selectively promoted the dissolution of cellulose from corncob residue, and significantly improved the yield and selectivity to levulinic acid by inhibiting lactic acid formation in the subsequent dehydration process. Owing to the salt effect of NaCl, the obtained levulinic acid could be efficiently extracted to tetrahydrofuran from aqueous solution. The aqueous solution with AlCl3 and NaCl could be recycled 4 times. Because of the limited conversion of lignin, this process allows for the production of levulinic acid with high selectivity directly from corncob residue in a simple separation process.

Abstract
Industrial waste corncob residues (CCR) are rich in cellulose and can be hydrolyzed directly without pretreatment. However, a poor fermentation performance was frequently observed in the simultaneous saccharification and ethanol fermentation (SSF) of CCR, although the furans and organic acid inhibitors were very low. In this study, the high level of water-insoluble phenolic compounds such as 2-furoic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, guaiacol, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were detected in CCR and inhibited the growth and metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DQ1. An evolutionary adaptation strategy was developed by culturing the S. cerevisiae DQ1 strain in a series of media with the gradual increase of CCR hydrolysate. The high ethanol concentration (62.68g/L) and the yield (55.7%) were achieved in the SSF of CCR using the adapted S. cerevisiae DQ1. The results provided a practical method for improving performance of simultaneous saccharification and ethanol production from CCR.

Abstract
In the present work, interactions between common media components and fermentation conditions were explored to come up with a simple media recipe for extracellular β-glucosidase (Dβ-gl) synthesis from Debaryomyces pseudopolymorphus to substitute cellobiose, which is currently used as a sole carbon source. Taguchi L25 orthogonal array design was used to screen factors influencing Dβ-gl synthesis (carbon, organic nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, trace elements, inoculum volume, and fermentation time). A significant influence of xylose, peptone, and potassium nitrate as carbon, organic nitrogen, and inorganic nitrogen sources, respectively, on Dβ-gl synthesis was identified by Taguchi. These factors were further optimized using central composite rotatable design (CCRD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The results showed that in the range studied, potassium nitrate had insignificant effect while xylose, peptone, and xylose-peptone interaction had a significant effect on Dβ-gl synthesis. Peptone/xylose ratio of 1.33 was found to be an important parameter for inducing Dβ-gl synthesis. The regression coefficient (R (2)) of 0.915 and P value of <0.0003 for the model indicated that it was highly significant. The maximum activity obtained after RSM (32.2 U/ml) was comparable with that obtained (68.8 U/ml) when cellobiose (20 g/l) was used as a sole carbon source. Considering the cost difference between xylose and cellobiose, a 16-fold cost reduction could be obtained for equivalent Dβ-gl yield. Fed-batch fermentations were carried out wherein peptone/xylose ratio of 1.33 was maintained and continuous Dβ-gl synthesis was observed.

Abstract
The discovery of a novel yeast with a natural capacity to produce ethanol from lignocellulosic substrates (second-generation ethanol) is of great significance for bioethanol technology. While there are some yeast strains capable of assimilating cellobiose in aerobic laboratory conditions, the predominant sugar in the treatment of lignocellulosic material, little is known about this ability in real industrial conditions. Fermentations designed to simulate industrial conditions were conducted in synthetic medium with glucose, sucrose, cellobiose and hydrolyzed pre-treated cane bagasse as a different carbon source, with the aim of further characterizing the fermentation capacity of a promising Dekkera bruxellensis yeast strain, isolated from the bioethanol process in Brazil. As a result, it was found (for the first time in oxygen-limiting conditions) that the strain Dekkera bruxellensis GDB 248 could produce ethanol from cellobiose. Moreover, it was corroborated that the cellobiase activity characterizes the enzyme candidate in semi-purified extracts (β-glucosidase). In addition, it was demonstrated that GDB 248 strain had the capacity to produce a higher acetic acid concentration than ethanol and glycerol, which confirms the absence of the Custer effect with this strain in oxygen-limiting conditions. Moreover, it is also being suggested that D. bruxellensis could benefit Saccharomyces cerevisiae and outcompete it in the industrial environment. In this way, it was confirmed that D. bruxellensis GDB 248 has the potential to produce ethanol from cellobiose, and is a promising strain for the fermentation of lignocellulosic substrates.

Abstract
For economically feasible lignocellulosic ethanol production, it is crucial to obtain a robust strain and develop an efficient fermentation process. An earlier-screened yeast strain Pichia guilliermondii was adapted to corncob residues (CCR) hydrolysate and used for high titer ethanol production without any detoxification or external nutrient supplementation. With an optimized fed-batch strategy, the maximum ethanol titer and productivity reached 56.3 g/l and 0.47 g l(-1) h(-1), respectively. To further increase the ethanol productivity, the fed-batch process was repeated three times with cell reuse, and the maximum ethanol titer and productivity reached 51.2 g/l and 1.11 g l(-1) h(-1), respectively. The results demonstrated that the combination of fed-batch with repeated fermentation was effective in improving the fermentation efficiency and achieving high ethanol productivity from CCR. The reported system is considered promising for commercial production of bioethanol from biomass hydrolysate in the future.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases represent an important group of enzymes due to their pivotal role in various biotechnological processes. One of the most prominent is biomass degradation for the production of fuel ethanol from cellulosic agricultural residues and wastes, where the use of immobilized biocatalysts may prove advantageous. Within such scope, the present work aimed to evaluate the feasibility of entrapping β-glucosidase in either sol-gel or in Lentikats supports for application in cellobiose hydrolysis, and to perform the characterization of the resulting bioconversion systems. The activity and stability of the immobilized biocatalyst over given ranges of temperature and pH values were assessed, as well as kinetic data, and compared to the free form, and the operational stability was evaluated. Immobilization increased the thermal stability of the enzyme, with a 10 °C shift to an optimal temperature in the case of sol-gel support. Mass transfer hindrances as a result of immobilization were not significant, for sol-gel support. Lentikats-entrapped glucosidase was used in 19 consecutive batch runs for cellobiose hydrolysis, without noticeable decrease in product yield. Moreover, encouraging results were obtained for continuous operation. In the overall, the feasibility of using immobilized biocatalysts for cellobiose hydrolysis was established.
