  • METHOD OF YEAST PROPAGATION IN A LOW-COST, TWO-PHASE PROCESS STREAM
    Publication number: 20250101370
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of propagating genetically modified yeasts or even any other yeasts that suffer a positive Crabtree effect or any other microorganisms that use sugars for growth (glucose or equivalent glucose), wherein the feeding medium inhibits the optimal exponential growth predicted throughout the process, such a method capable of providing greater process economicity (CAPEX and OPEX), increased productivity and yield (Yx/s) and reduced CAPEX due to greater cell expansion in a single stage of reactor. Particularly, the present invention describes a process for producing second generation ethanol by using different combinations of low-cost streams existing in an integrated 2G or 1G/2G ethanol production plant, combined with the unique batch propagation strategy fed in at least two exponential feeding phases, in just one cycle, with the propagation step occurring in a single reactor.

  • METHOD FOR OPTIMIZATION AND RECOVERY OF SECOND-GENERATION SUGAR DILUTED STREAM AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20240124657
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for optimization and recovery of second-generation sugar diluted stream, comprising pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and mainly washing the residual solid from the enzymatic hydrolysis, which allows the increase of sugar recovery. The use of this sugar diluted stream is crucial for process integration, may have different possibilities of use, for example, can be applied in the mechanical refining step, microorganisms propagation, enzyme production, fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, including combination of uses.

  • GENETICALLY MODIFIED MICRORGANISMS THAT CARRY OUT THE HETEROLOGOUS PRODUCTION OF MODIFIED VERSIONS OF THE SURFACTANT PROTEIN LV-RANASPUMIN-1(LV-RSN-1), THE MODIFIED VERSIONS OF SAID SURFACTANT PROTEIN, THE SYNTHETIC GENES ENCODING SAID SURFACTANT PROTEIN, THE EXPRESSION CASSETTES CONTAINING SAID SYNTHETIC GENES, AND THE EXPRESSION VECTORS CONTAINING SAID SYNTHETIC GENES
    Publication number: 20230029208
    Abstract: The present invention refers to the heterologous production in microorganisms of modified versions of a predicted isoform of the surfactant protein Lv-ranaspumin-1 (Lv-Rsn-1), whose sequence was inferred from analyzes of the protein extract of the nest foam from the Northeastern Pepper Frog (Leptodactylus vastus).

  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF AN ENZYMATIC PREPARATION FOR HYDROLYSIS OF CELLULOSE FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC RESIDUES AND APPLICATION THEREOF IN THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL
    Publication number: 20110250652
    Abstract: The process of the present invention is based on the microbial production of enzymes from the growth of the fungus Penicillium funiculosum in a suitable culture medium with a cellulosic substrate. The process of the invention comprises in particular the fermentative treatment of a lignocellulosic substrate by means of a specially adapted fungus, for obtaining an enzymatic preparation capable of hydrolysing cellulose and hemicellulose for the production of ethanol.
