  Summer Internship

  2 month internship designated "Optimization of the hydrolysis of hemicellulosic oligosaccharides". We proceeded to study sugars hydrolysis by acid hydrolysis or using solid acid catalysts in different concentrations, with the aim of finding the best process for the hydrolysis of hemicellulosic oligosaccharides.

  Master Thesis Student

  The aim of this thesis is to study the behavior of a Clostridium consortium, previous isolated from manure, in the presence of cellulosic substrates, and to create a new CBP process for the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass, with wheat straw as model substrate. In this sense, the work is divided in two main parts.The first one consists on the study of the growth of the consortium in bioreactors with filter paper, and the analysis of the products resulting from the metabolism. The impact of pH control in the clostridia fermentation was assessed. Once it was established that the consortium was able to grow on cellulose, we proceeded to studies with pretreated wheat straw.In order to develop a 2 stage process, the lignolytic activities of two actinomycetes, Nonomuraea gerenzanensis and Streptomyces coelicolor A3 (2) were studied in three different media, and upon confirmation of the production of these enzymes, the fermentation broths were used as dilution water in clostridia fermentation of wheat straw. This experiment intended to comprehend if the lignolytic enzymes produced could enhance straw degradation and lead to a better utilization of the cellulosic and hemicellulosic fractions of the biomass.
