Enriched microbial consortia for dark fermentation of sugarcane vinasse towards value-added short-chain organic acids and alcohol production
B de Souza Moraes, GM Dos Santos… - Journal of bioscience …, 2019 - Elsevier
The role of sugarcane vinasse as a nutrient source and the impacts of different inoculum
pretreatment methods (acid-thermal and thermal treatment) were assessed in acidogenic
systems aiming to produce value-added short-chain organic acids (SCOA) and alcohols. In-
depth microbiome characterization was also conducted by high-throughput sequencing of
the 16S rRNA gene using the Miseq Illumina platform. SCOA production was 47.3% higher
in vinasse-fed reactors, with isobutyric (up to 10.3 g L− 1) and butyric (up to 10.6 g L− 1) …
