The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process consists of concurrent enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. In the present cybernetic model, the saccharification process, which is based on the modified Michaelis-Menten kinetics and enzyme inhibition kinetics, was combined with the fermentation process, which is based on the Monod equation. The cybernetic modeling approach postulates that cells adapt to utilize the limited resources available to them in an optimal way. The cybernetic modeling was suitable for describing sequential growth on multiple substrates by Brettanomyces custersii, which is a glucose- and cellobiose-fermenting yeast. The proposed model was able to elucidate the SSF process in a systematic manner, and the performance was verified by previously published data.

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) experiments were carried out with a lignocellulosic biomass. The effects of temperature on enzymatic saccharification and the ethanol fermentation were also investigated. The batch SSF process gave a final ethanol concentration of 10.44 g/l and equivalent glucose yield of 0.55 g/g, which was increased by 67％ or higher over the saccharification at 42℃. The optimal operating condition was found to vary in several parameters, such as the transmembrane pressure, permeation rate, and separation coefficient, related to the SSF combined with membrane system (semi-batch system). When the fermentation was operated in a semi-batch mode, the efficiency of the enzymes and yeast lasted three times longer than in a batch mode.

Solubilization of domestic household waste through Steam explosion with Subsequent ethanol production by the microbial saccharifitation and fermentation of the exploded product was studied. The effects of steam explosion on the changes of the density, viscosity, pH, and amounts of extractive components in artificial household waste were determined. The composition of artificial waste used was similar to leftover waste discharged from a typical home in Japan. Consecutive microbial saccharification and fermentation, and simultaneous microbial saccharification and fermentation of the Steam-exploded product were attempted using Aspergillus awamori, Trichoderma viride, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae; the ethanol yields of each process were compared. The highest ethanol yield was obtained with simultaneous microbial saccharification and fermentation of exploded product at a steam pressure of 2 MPa and a steaming time of 3 min.

To develop thermostable ethanol fermentative yeast strain for lignocellulosic simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, high ethanol producing yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHY1012 and thermostable yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus CHY1703 were fused by protoplast fusion. The thermostable fusant, CHY1612 was identified as a Kluyveromyces marxianus by phenotypic and physiological characteristics, as well as molecular analysis based on the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (26S) rDNA gene and the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 + 2 regions. For lignocellulosic ethanol production, AFEX pretreated barley straw at $150^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was used in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using thermotolerant CHY1612. The SSF from 16% pretreated barley straw at $43^{\circ}C$ gave a saccharification ratio of 90.5%, a final ethanol concentration of 38.5 g/L, and a theoretical yield of 91.2%. These results show that K. marxianus CHY1612 has potential for lignocellulosic ethanol production through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with further development of process.

섬유소 폐기물인 볏짚으로부터 butanol를 생산하기 위하여 Clostridium acetobutylicum KCTC1037 와 cellulase(from Trichoderma viride)을 발효액에 동시에 첨가하여 발효시키는 동시당화 발효법(Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, SSF)을 수행하였다. Alkali 처리한 볏짚을 발효기질로 사용한 결과 그 농도를 25%로 사용하였을 때 최고 150mM의 butanol이 생산되었고, 15% 볏짚을 사용하였을 때는 97mM의 butanol이 생산되었다. 그러나 ball milled 볏짚의 경우 발효산물 중 대부분이 acetate와 butyrate로 주로 산이 생산되었으며 따라서 solventogenesis는 거의 일어나지 않았다. 또한 그 농도별 실험에서 보면 8%의 ball milled 볏짚 사용시 66mM의 butanol이 생산된 반면 그 이상의 농도에서는 butanol 생산량이 점차 감소하는 추세를 보였으며 acetate, butyrate 같은 산은 계속 증가 추세를 보였다. 이것으로 보아 ball milled 볏짚에는 butanol 발효 과정 중 acidogenesis에 서 solventogenesis로의 전이 (shift)를 방해하는 어떤 인자가 있으리라고 추측되었으며 alkali 처리방법에 의해서 이 방해자는 제거될 수 있는 것으로 관찰되었다.

Enzymatic saccharification of corn stover using Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Gloeophyllum trabeum and subsequent fermentation of the saccharification products to ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli K011 were achieved. Prior to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) for ethanol production, solid-state fermentation was performed for four days on ground corn stover using either P. chrysosporium or G. trabeum to induce in situ cellulase production. During SSF with S. cerevisiae or E. coli, ethanol production was the highest on day 4 for all samples. For corn stover treated with P. chrysosporium, the conversion to ethanol was 2.29 g/100 g corn stover with S. cerevisiae as the fermenting organism, whereas for the sample inoculated with E. coli K011, the ethanol production was 4.14 g/100 g corn stover. Corn stover treated with G. trabeum showed a conversion 1.90 and 4.79 g/100 g corn stover with S. cerevisiae and E. coli K011 as the fermenting organisms, respectively. Other fermentation co-products, such as acetic acid and lactic acid, were also monitored. Acetic acid production ranged between 0.45 and 0.78 g/100 g corn stover, while no lactic acid production was detected throughout the 5 days of SSF. The results of our experiment suggest that it is possible to perform SSF of corn stover using P. chrysosporium, G. trabeum, S. cerevisiae and E. coli K011 for the production of fuel ethanol.

증자하지 않은 Cassava의 생전분의 ethanol 발효생산을 위하여 Aspergilius shirousami 가생산하는 당화효소를 이용하여 단순당화 및 동시당화 발효를 하였다. Cassava 생전분의 당화률은 증자한 것에 비해 30% 정도였으며 10배의 효소를 가하여도 60%밖에 안되었으나. 동시당화-발효에서는 당화율이 크게 증가하여 ethanol 생성량이 증자한 전분에 비해 90% 이상이 되었다.

볏짚을 이용하여 acetone-butanol을 생산하기 위해 전처리한 볏짚을 C. acetobutylicum KCTC 1037(ATCC 4259)과 Trichoderma viride로부터 얻은 섬유소 분해효소를 이용하여 동시당화 발효법 (SSF)으로 발효하였다. Ball-mill로 처리한 볏짚을 SSF로 발효한 결과 acetate와 butyrate안을 생산하였으나, alkali로 전처리한 기질은 230 mM 이상의 solvent를 생산하였다. 이와 같은 발효의 차이는 볏짚에는 alkali 처리로 분해되는 물질이 있으며, 이 물질이 solvent 생산을 저해하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 solvent 생산 저해물질은 물이나 유기용매에 불용성으로 lignin 유도체 혹은 잔류농약으로 추측된다.

The production of high-value chemicals from natural resources as an alternative for petroleum-based products is currently expanding in parallel with biorefinery. The use of lignocellulosic biomass as raw material is promising to achieve economic and environmental sustainability. Filamentous fungi, particularly Aspergillus species, are already used industrially to produce organic acid as well as many enzymes. The production of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes opens the possibility for direct fungal fermentation towards organic acids such as itaconic acid (IA) and fumaric acid (FA). These acids have wide-range applications and potentially addressable markets as platform chemicals. However, current technologies for the production of these compounds are mostly based on submerged fermentation. This work showed the capacity of two Aspergillus species (A. terreus and A. oryzae) to yield both acids by solid-state fermentation and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. FA was optimally produced at by A. oryzae in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (0.54 mg/g wheat bran). The yield of 0.11 mg IA/g biomass by A. oryzae is the highest reported in the literature for simultaneous solid-state fermentation without sugar supplements.

Ethanol fermentations were carried out using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) and separated hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) processes with monosaccharides from seaweed, Saccharina japonica (sea tangle, Dasima) as the biomass. The pretreatment was carried out by thermal acid hydrolysis with $H_2SO_4$ or HCl. Optimal pretreatment condition was determined at 10% (w/v) seaweed slurry with 37.5 mM $H_2SO_4$ at $121^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. To increase the yield of saccharfication, isolated marine bacteria Bacillus sp. JS-1 was used and 48 g/L of reducing sugar were produced. Ethanol fermentation was performed using SSF and SHF process with Pachysolen tannophilus KCTC 7937. The ethanol concentration was 6.5 g/L by SSF and 6.0 g/L by SHF.
