OPTIMIZATION OF THE CELLULOSE (FROM RICE STUBBLE/STRAW) HYDROLYSIS INTO GLUCOSE USING FUNGI ASPERGILLUS TERRIUSIN ETHANOL-BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Abstract

The cellulose hydrolysis into glucose using Aspergillus terrius AF67 in ethanol-biofuel production was studied. By using the design of experiments with main factors (the concentrations of cellulose and enzyme) a regression equation was found. Based on this equation, the influent evaluation of two above factors on hydrolysis yield was implemented and with some supplementary experiments, the maximal yield was found: ymax= 15.876 mg/ml.
