Abstract
Invasion of Lantana camara all over the world and its management is a global problematic issue. Its rapid growth and competition with natural resources such as space, water, and nutrients of other plants, reasons for the demand to manage this noxious weed. This study was done to optimize the ideal food to microorganism (F/M) ratio. Different food to microorganism (F/M) ratios of 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 were studied along with one control where only cow dung was kept. Highest methane production was obtained from the F/M ratio of 1.5 (195.5 ± 8 mL CH4/g VS) and cumulative methane production from it was 4801.5 mL followed by ratios 2 and 2.5 respectively. In control, methane production was relatively low as compared to all the F/M ratios (2151.5 ± 8 mL). 20 L capacity batch reactor was performed with a working volume of 15.5 L where substrate and cow dung were fed according to the best ratio found during biochemical methane potential trial (BMP). Maximum methane yield was observed on the 19th day (2650 ± 18 ml CH4/g VS). Maximum volatile solids (VS) reduction was observed in the F/M ratio 1.5 (49.63%) followed by 2 and 2.5 respectively. The maximum amount of volatile fatty acid (VFA) was produced in F/M ratio 1.5 (715 ± 10) and 2 (715 ± 15) followed by ratios 2.5 and 1 respectively. Maximum soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) was found in F/M ratio 1.5 (8000 mg/L). Morphological changes were captured in FESEM and XRD.

Evaluation of pre-treatment methods for Lantana camara stem for enhanced enzymatic saccharification. 3 Biotech 2020; 10:37. [PMID: 31988831 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-019-2029-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 12/20/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This study evaluates certain pre-treatment methods for Lantana camara stem for efficient conversion to fermentable sugars. The composition analysis of L. camara stem showed 66.8% (w/w) holocellulose, 34.9% (w/w) cellulose and 17% (w/w) hemicellulose. Comparative analysis of various chemical, physical or physico-chemical pre-treatments on L. camara stem was performed. Of all pretreatment methods used, pre-treatment with 1% (v/v) H2SO4 assisted autoclaving gave maximum total reducing sugar yield 132.7 mg/g (13.2 g/L) of raw biomass in pretreated hydrolysate. Major contribution to total reducing sugar was from hemicellulosic fraction, because total pentose sugar yield was 119.4 mg/g of raw biomass whereas, glucose released was only 10 mg/g of untreated biomass. The enzymatic saccharification of pre-treated L. camara stem by 1% (v/v) H2SO4 assisted autoclaving was performed with partially purified carboxymethylcellulase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SS35. Enzymatic saccharification at 30 °C for 48 h gave total reducing sugar yield, 63.3 mg/g of pre-treated biomass in the hydrolysate, while untreated biomass gave 43.3 mg/g of untreated biomass. The total sugar yield i.e. the sum of pre-treated biomass hydrolysate total reducing sugar (132.7 mg/g of raw biomass) and enzymatic hydrolysate total reducing sugar (63.3 mg/g of pre-treated biomass) was 196.0 mg/g of raw biomass, indicating the effectiveness of pre-treatment method. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction analyses displayed enhanced porosity, removal of non-cellulosic sugars and increased cellulose crystallinity, respectively, in pre-treated L. camara stem, showing the effectiveness of acid assisted autoclaving pre-treatment.

Abstract
In a first study of its kind, the composition of vermicompost derived solely from the toxic and allelopathic weed lantana has been investigated using UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), gas chromatography-mass spectometry (GC-MS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The studies reveal that a sharp reduction in humification index, substantial mineralization of organic matter and degradation of complex aromatics such as lignin and polyphenols into simpler carbohydrates and lipids occur in the course of vermicomposting. GC-MS analysis shows significant fragmentation, bio-oxidation and molecular rearrangements of chemical compounds in vermicompost in comparison to those in lantana. SEM micrographs of vermicompost reflect strong disaggregation of material compared to the much better formed lantana matrices. The phenols and sesquiterpene lactones which are specifically responsible for the toxicity and allelopathy of lantana are seen to get significantly degraded in the course of vermicomposting - turning it into a plant-friendly organic fertilizer. The study leads to the possibility that the millions of tons of phytomass that is generated annually by lantana can be gainfully utilized in producing organic fertilizer via vermicomposting.

Abstract
In evidently the first study of its kind, vermicompost derived solely from a weed known to possess plant and animal toxicity was used to assess its impact on the germination and early growth of several plant species. No pre-composting or supplementation of animal manure was done to generate the vermicompost in order to ensure that the impact is clearly attributable to the weed. Whereas the weed used in this study, Lantana (Lantana camara), is known to possess strong negative allelopathy, besides plant/animal toxicity in other forms, its vermicompost was seen to be a good organic fertilizer as it increased germination success and encouraged growth of all the three botanical species explored by the authors - green gram (Vigna radiata), ladies finger (Abelmoschus esculentus) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus). In terms of several physical, chemical and biochemical attributes that were studied, the vermicompost appeared plant-friendly, giving best results in general when employed at concentrations of 1.5% in soil (w/w). Fourier transform infrared spectrometry revealed that the phenols and the sesquiterpene lactones that are responsible for the allelopathic impact of Lantana were largely destroyed in the course of vermicomposting. There is also an indication that lignin content of Lantana was reduced during its vermicomposting. The findings open up the possibility that the billions of tons of phytomass that is generated annually by Lantana and other invasives can be gainfully utilized in generating organic fertilizer via vermicomposting.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Production of Rifamycin SV from cheaper agro-industrial by-products using mutant strain of Amycolatopsis mediterranei OVA5-E7 in solid state fermentation (SSF) was optimized. Among the agro-based substrates used, ragi bran was found suitable for maximizing the yield of Rifamycin SV (1310 mg 100 g(-1) ds). The yield can be further enhanced to 19·7 g Kg(-1) of dry substrate by supplementing the substrate with deoiled cotton cake (10% w/w) using optimized fermentation parameters such as maintaining 80% moisture, pH 7·0, 30°C incubation temperature, inoculum 25% v/w and carrying the solid state fermenting for 9 days. Manipulating these seven specifications, the end product yield achieved in our experimentation was 20 g of Rifamycin SV Kg(-1) ds. Eventually, an overall 5-fold improvement in Rifamycin SV production was achieved. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Antibiotics such as rifamycin are broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs used in large-scale worldwide as human medicine towards controlling diseases. Amycolatopsis mediterranei strain which produces this antibiotic was earlier used in submerged fermentation yielded lower amounts of rifamycin. By employing cheaper agro-industrial by-products, we produced upto 20 g rifamycin SV per Kg dry substrate used under optimized solid state fermentation conditions. Keeping in view, the role of rifamycin in meeting the medical demands of world's increasing population; we successfully used an improved strain on cheaper substrates with optimized fermentation parameters and achieved a 5-fold improvement in rifamycin SV production.

Abstract
The paper deals with the exploitation of Ipomoea carnea as a feedstock for the production of bioethanol. Dilute acid pretreatment under optimum conditions (3%H2SO4, 120 °C for 45 min) produced 17.68 g L(-1) sugars along with 1.02 g L(-1) phenolics and 1.13 g L(-1) furans. A combination of overliming and activated charcoal adsorption facilitated the removal of 91.9% furans and 94.7% phenolics from acid hydrolysate. The pretreated biomass was further treated with a mixture of sodium sulphite and sodium chlorite and, a maximum lignin removal of 81.6% was achieved. The enzymatic saccharification of delignified biomass resulted in 79.4% saccharification with a corresponding sugar yield of 753.21 mg g(-1). Equal volume of enzymatic hydrolysate and acid hydrolysate were mixed and used for fermentation with a hybrid yeast strain RPRT90. Fermentation of mixed detoxified hydrolysate at 30 °C for 28 h produced ethanol with a yield of 0.461 g g(-1). A comparable ethanol yield (0.414 g g(-1)) was achieved using a mixture of enzymatic hydrolysate and undetoxified acid hydrolysate. Thus, I. carnea biomass has been demonstrated to be a potential feedstock for bioethanol production, and the use of hybrid yeast may pave the way to produce bioethanol from this biomass.

Abstract
Pretreatment is an essential step in the enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass and subsequent production of bioethanol. The current study is focused on two different pretreatment methods of wheat straw using mild temperatures (100°C for 2h and RT for overnight). In one method, native substrate was treated with 1.5% (w/v) NaOH at two different above mentioned conditions followed by acid hydrolysis (0.75% (v/v) sulfuric acid at 100°C for 2h). In another method, the native substrate was initially treated with acid (0.75% (v/v) sulfuric acid at 100°C for 2h) followed by treatment with 1.5% (w/v) NaOH at two different above conditions. After the pretreatments, the residues were treated with Accellerase 1500 (26U/g) and maximum yield of glucose (65.2gL(-1)) were found with 0.75% sulfuric acid (100°C for 2h) followed by alkali (1.5% NaOH at 100°C for 2h). Fermentation of this hydrolyzate using Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain produced 24.4gL(-1) of ethanol with corresponding yield of 0.44g/g.

Abstract
Saccharum spontaneum is a wasteland weed consists of 45.10+/-0.35% cellulose and 22.75+/-0.28% of hemicellulose on dry solid (DS) basis. Aqueous ammonia delignified S. spontaneum yielded total reducing sugars, 53.91+/-0.44 g/L (539.10+/-0.55 mg/g of substrate) with a hydrolytic efficiency of 77.85+/-0.45%. The enzymes required for hydrolysis were prepared from culture supernatants of Aspergillus oryzae MTCC 1846. A maximum of 0.85+/-0.07 IU/mL of filter paperase (FPase), 1.25+/-0.04 IU/mL of carboxy methyl cellulase (CMCase) and 55.56+/-0.52 IU/mL of xylanase activity was obtained after 7 days of incubation at 28+/-0.5 degrees C using delignified S. spontaneum as carbon source under submerged fermentation conditions. Enzymatic hydrolysate of S. spontaneum was then tested for ethanol production under batch and repeated batch production system using "in-situ" entrapped Saccharomyces cerevisiae VS3 cells in S. spontaneum stalks (1 cm x 1 cm) size. Immobilization was confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Batch fermentation of VS3 free cells and immobilized cells showed ethanol production, 19.45+/-0.55 g/L (yield, 0.410+/-0.010 g/g) and 21.66+/-0.62 g/L (yield, 0.434+/-0.021 g/g), respectively. Immobilized VS3 cells showed maximum ethanol production (22.85+/-0.44 g/L, yield, 0.45+/-0.04 g/g) up to 8th cycle during repeated batch fermentation followed by a gradual reduction in subsequent cycles of fermentation.
