Modeling and simulation for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process in bioconversion of paper mill sludge to lactic acid was carried out. The SSF process combined the enzymatic hydrolysis of paper mill sludge into glucose and the fermentation of glucose into lactic acid in one reactor. A mathematical modeling for cellulose hydrolysis was developed, based on the proposed mechanism of cellulase adsorption deactivation. Another model for simple lactic acid fermentation was also made. A whole mathematical model for SSF was developed by combining the above two models for cellulose hydrolysis and lactic acid fermentation. The characteristics of the SSF process were investigated using the mathematical model.

섬유성 물질을 자화(資化)하는 미생물을 자연계로 부터 분리하여 효소생산 및 당화조건을 검토하였다. 분리 균주 256주 중 효소생산에 가장 유효하다고 인정되는 Aspergillus fumigatus KC-1을 우수 균주로 선발하였다. 본 균은 alkaline peroxide로 전처리한 현사시 목분 1%를 탄소원으로하여 $45^{\circ}C$에서 진탕 배양시 4~5일째 효소생성(여지, Avicel, 탈지면, CMC, Salicine 및 Xylan 당화활성)이 최고치에 달했다. 효소의 최적 pH는 4.5, 최적온도는 $60^{\circ}C$였다. 본 균의 효소에 의한 현사시 목분의 가수 분해시 1 % NaOH와 20% 과초산으로 탈리그닌한 목분의 가수 분해율이 가장 높았고, 최종 산물로 glucose와 약간의 cellobiose 및 xylose가 검출되었다. 따라서 본균의 cellulase는 cellulose를 쉽게 glucose로 당화하는데 매우 유효한 효소로 판단되었다. 현사시 목분의 효소분해에 대한 탈리그닌 정도, 기질의 크기 및 농도의 영향도 아울러 검토하였다.

무증자 전분의 효소당화시 분쇄마찰매체를 첨가하여 분쇄마찰 효과를 주어 당화를 촉진시키는 새로운 무증자 전분 당화법을 이용하여 HFCS의 제조에 적합한 포도당 함량이 높은 고농도 당액을 얻기 위해 연구하였다. 생전분을 고농도 당화를 위해 22.5, 39, 그리고 45%(w/v)와 같이 농도를 고농도까지 증가시켜 가면서 당화시킨 결과, 분쇄마찰 반응계를 활용할 경우 39%(w/v)와 같은 높은 전분 농도에서도 효율적인 당화가 가능하였으며, 8시간 후 75%, 24시간 후에는 92% 이상이 분해되었고 이때 당 농도는 425g/L 수준에 이르렀다. 초 고농도로 전분을 투입한 경우에도 전분을 batch식으로 투입하지 않고 분할 투입하는 fed-batch식으로 분할 투입한 결과 45%(w/v)와 같은 초 고농도에서도 우수한 결과를 얻었다. 또한 고농도에서는bead size가 큰 것이 당화촉진 효과가 컸다. 생성된 당조성을 HPLC로 분석한 결과 증자법의 당조성과 거의 유사한 glucose 95%, maltose 0.7%, 그리고 higher saccharide 4.5%로써 HFCS 제조에 적합한 특성을 갖추었다. 분쇄매체의 shearing에 의한 효소실활을 검토한 바 본 실험과 같은 교반하에서는 효소가 비교적 안정하였고. 특히 $Ca^{++}$은 효소 안정화에 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하였다.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is a key step in the conversion of agricultural by-products to biofuels and value-added chemicals. Utilization of a robust microorganism for on-site production of biomass-degrading enzymes has gained increasing interest as an economical approach for supplying enzymes to biorefinery processes. In this study, production of multi-polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from Aspergillus aculeatus BCC199 by solid-state fermentation was improved through the statistical design approach. Among the operational parameters, yeast extract and soybean meal as well as the nonionic surfactant Tween 20 and initial pH were found as key parameters for maximizing production of cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic enzymes. Under the optimized condition, the production of FPase, endoglucanase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, xylanase, and ${\beta}$-xylosidase was achieved at 23, 663, 88, 1,633, and 90 units/g of dry substrate, respectively. The multi-enzyme extract was highly efficient in the saccharification of alkaline-pretreated rice straw, corn cob, and corn stover. In comparison with commercial cellulase preparations, the BCC199 enzyme mixture was able to produce remarkable yields of glucose and xylose, as it contained higher relative activities of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and core hemicellulases (xylanase and ${\beta}$-xylosidase). These results suggested that the crude enzyme extract from A. aculeatus BCC199 possesses balanced cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities required for the efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks, and supplementation of external ${\beta}$-glucosidase or xylanase was dispensable. The work thus demonstrates the high potential of A. aculeatus BCC199 as a promising producer of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes for the biomass conversion industry.

A high ${\beta}$-glucosidase (BGL)-producing strain, Stereum hirsutum, was identified and isolated and showed a maximum BGL activity (10.4 U/ml) when cultured with Avicel and tryptone as the carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. In comparison with other BGLs, BGL obtained from S. hirsutum showed a higher level of activity to cellobiose ($V_{max}$ = 172 U/mg, and $k_{cat}$ = 281/s). Under the optimum conditions (600 rpm, $30^{\circ}C$, and pH 6.0), the maximum BGL activity of 10.4 U/ml with the overall productivity of 74.5 U/l/h was observed. BGL production was scaled up from a laboratory scale (7-L fermenter) to a pilot scale (70-L fermenter). When S. hirsutum was cultured in fed-batch culture with rice straw as the carbon source in a 70-L fermenter, a comparable productivity of 78.6 U/l/h was obtained. Furthermore, S. hirsutum showed high levels of activity of other lignocellulases (cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase, xylanase, and laccase) that are involved in the saccharification of biomasses. Application of S. hirsutum lignocellulases in the hydrolysis of Pinus densiflora and Catalpa ovata showed saccharification yields of 49.7% and 43.0%, respectively, which were higher than the yield obtained using commercial enzymes.

The study was targeted to saccharify foodwastes with the cellulolytic and amylolytic enzymes obtained from culture supernatant of Trichoderma harzianum FJ1 and analyze the kinetics of the saccharification in order to enlarge the utilization in industrial application. T. harzianum FJ1 highly produced various cellulolytic (filter paperase 0.9, carboxymethyl cellulase 22.0, ${\beta}$-glucosidase 1.2, Avicelase 0.4, xylanase 30.8, as U/mL-supernatant) and amylolytic (${alpha}$-amylase 5.6, ${\beta}$-amylase 3.1, glucoamylase 2.6, as U/mL-supernatant) enzymes. The $23{\sim}98\;g/L$ of reducing sugars were obtained under various experimental conditions by changing FPase to between $0.2{\sim}0.6\;U/mL$ and foodwastes between $5{\sim}20\%$ (w/v), with fixed conditions at $50^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0, and 100 rpm for 24 h. As the enzymatic hydrolysis of foodwastes were performed in a heterogeneous solid-liquid reaction system, it was significantly influenced by enzyme and substrate concentrations used, where the pH and temperature were fixed at their experimental optima of 5.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. An empirical model was employed to simplify the kinetics of the saccharification reaction. The reducing sugars concentration (X, g/L) in the saccharification reaction was expressed by a power curve ($X=K{\cdot}t^n$) for the reaction time (t), where the coefficient, K and n. were related to functions of the enzymes concentrations (E) and foodwastes concentrations (S), as follow: $K=10.894{\cdot}Ln(E{\cdot}S^2)-56.768,\;n=0.0608{\cdot}(E/S)^{-0.2130}$. The kinetic developed to analyze the effective saccharification of foodwastes composed of complex organic compounds could adequately explain the cases under various saccharification conditions. The kinetics results would be available for reducing sugars production processes, with the reducing sugars obtained at a lower cost can be used as carbon and energy sources in various fermentation industries.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of waste office paper was evaluated using three commercial cellulases, Acremonium cellulase, Meicelase, and Cellulosin T2. Varying the enzyme loading from 1 to 10% (w/w) conversion of waste office paper to reducing sugar was investigated. The conversion increased with the increase in the enzyme loading: in the case of enzyme loading of 10% (w/w), Acremonium cellulase yielded 79%conversion of waste office paper, which was 17% higher compared to Meicelase, 13% higher than that of Cellulosin T2. Empirical model for the conversion (%) of waste office paper to re-ducing sugar (x) was derived from experimental results as follow, x = $kE^{m}t^{(aE+b)}$ where k, m, a, and b de-note empirical constants. E indicates initial enzyme concentration.
