Abstract

This work intends to collaborate in the development of the technology needed to transform lignocellulosic materials into bioethanol through a process that is both eficient and profitable so it can be deployed in the industry. In a system of solid fermentation, waste from the forestry industry was treated in a two stage process. At first, the material was inoculated with microorganisms that present ligninolytic activity (Tramentes versicolor y Pleurotus ostreatus) and then with microorganisms with cellulolytic activity (Trichoderma reesei). To assess the results, the fermentable sugars content was determined, and the samples treated with fungi showed a higher content than the untreated ones. Other parameters took into consideration where the ADF and the NDF, which were lower in the treated material, showing a plausible predigestion. Some measures of absorbance at wavelengths in between 200nm and 400nm were made to assess the products from the lignine degradation and it showed an increase in the treated samples. To assess the effectiveness of the treatment, enzymatic sacarifications were done on both treated and untreated material and the reductor sugars were later measured through DNS. As a result, an increase of 45 % was found in the treated samples. The high performances obtained allows us to consider it as a low cost presacarification methodology. The applicability of the process appears to be promising and because of the high variability of the results there will be further work done in its optimization.
