Effect of ORP regulation on yeast fermentation with inhibitors of lignocellulose hydrolysate
A broad range of inhibitors in hydrolysate of lignocellulose
including weak acids
furan derivatives and phenolic compounds restrain yeast growth and subsequent fermentation. The effect of oxido-reduction potential (ORP) regulation on yeast cell tolerance to the presence of acetic acid
furfural and phenol was investigated. Cell growth and metabolite distribution changed under different ORP levels [(305±5) mV
(157±8) mV and (-150±5) mV] by feeding oxidant (potassium ferricyanide
K3[Fe(CN)6]) and reductant (dithiotreitol
DTT). Compared to the control group
cell growth was enhanced
and ethanol yield increased except for phenol group. The yield of glycerol was enhanced under both oxidizing and reducing conditions
since glycerol was a main protective molecule in yeast. High ORP level facilitated detoxification of inhibitors thanks to high biomass accumulation.
