  • Preparation method conducive to enhancing enzymatic activity of cellulase
    Patent number: 9297001
    Abstract: A preparation method conducive to enhancing enzymatic activity of cellulase includes the steps of preparing a first inducer, preparing preculture hyphae, producing enzymes by a single strain, feeding a second inducer, and producing enzymes by co-culture strains. Main ingredients of the first inducer and the second inducer are cellulose and lactose, respectively. The enzymatic activity of the cellulase produced is enhanced by induction of cellulose and lactose and co-culture of Trichoderma and Aspergillus.

  • Method for Enhancing Cell Growth of Microalgae
    Publication number: 20140120623
    Abstract: Microalgae are potential energy resources for production of biofuels, such as biodiesel, ethanol, and butanol. A method for enhancing cell growth of microalgae enhances transgenic expression of a bicarbonate transporter (HCO3? transporter) in microalgae and thereby obtains a genetically modified microalgae capable of enhanced inorganic carbon fixation, efficient photosynthesis, and expeditious cell growth. The genetically modified microalgae are fit for use in biofuel production.

  • Method of Cultivating Fermentative Yeast Used for Xylose Fermentation of Non-Detoxified Lignocellulosic Hydrolysate
    Publication number: 20110177572
    Abstract: A hydrolysate-adapted yeast, Pichia stipitis INER 1128, is cultivated according to the present invention. The adapted yeast can effectively convert xylose into ethanol in lignocellulosic hydrolysate, which is not even detoxified. Well ethanol yield is obtained while xylose is not wasted and thus cost is reduced.
