  • Publication number: 20210079431
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems of propagating a microorganism on a stillage composition. The methods involve growing microorganisms in a propagation medium formed from a polysaccharide-containing stillage composition with the majority of the of the polysaccharides in the propagation medium coming from the stillage composition. The propagation medium also includes cellulases and/or amylases to form monosaccharides from the polysaccharides. A first cell mass is grown in the propagation medium to form a second cell mass which is greater than the first cell mass.

  • Patent number: 10920247
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to using a source of one or more monosaccharides derived from a pulp or paper mill waste by-product for propagating microorganisms (e.g., yeast or bacteria). If desired, after propagation, the microorganisms can then be used to ferment one or more monosaccharides derived from a pulp or paper mill waste by-product into one or more biochemicals. Optionally, a stillage composition can be included in propagation medium to facilitate propagation and/or a stillage composition can be used to facilitate enzymatic hydrolysis of oligosaccharides and/or polysaccharides in a pulp or paper mill waste by-product to form monosaccharides.
