Microbial utilization of levoglucosan in wood pyrolysate as a carbon and energy source.

Abstract:

:The Waterloo Fast Pyrolysis Process (WFPP) can produce an organic liquid high in levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-beta-D-glucopyranose) content from suitably pretreated lignocellulosics. A variety of fungi and yeasts were screened for their ability to utilize and ferment this organic liquid. To enhance its fermentability, the pyrolysis tar was posttreated in three different ways: (1) an aqueous extract (lignin removed); (2) activated charcoal treated (lignin and aromatics removed); and (3) acid hydrolysate (lignin and aromatics removed with the levoglucosan hydrolyzed to glucose). Four fungal strains were examined. None grew in the aqueous extract, but all grew equally well in both the activated charcoal treated and the acid hydrolysate, suggesting that the aromatic species were inhibitory to growth. Seven yeast species were examined, two of which did not grow on any of the extracts. Five of the yeast strains grew well on both the aqueous extract as well as the activated charcoal extract. The hydrolysate was optimal in terms of biomass yield and ethanol production. Ethanol yields on the hydrolysate were comparable or better than those on glucose. Ethanol was also produced in the aqueous extract and activated charcoal-treated substrate, but yields were considerably lower than on the hydrolysate or glucose. It is apparent that a wood pyrolysate maximized for levoglucosan can serve as a fermentable substrate, although postpyrolysis clean-up appears necessary.
