ABSTRACT

A preliminary study on xylitol production by Candida guilliermondii in sorghum straw hemicellulosic hydrolysate was performed. Hydrolysate had high xylose content and inhibitors concentrations did not exceed the commonly found values in other hemicellulosic hydrolysates. The highest xylitol yield (0.44 g/g) and productivity (0.19 g/Lh) were verified after 72 hours.

ABSTRACT

As crescentes despesas com o custo do meio para o cultivo de Metarhizium anisopliae levantam a necessidade de averiguar a eficiência de alguns resíduos agroindustriais que, além de propriedades nutricionais importantes, possuem grande disponibilidade e baixo custo. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no Laboratório de Tecnologia das Fermentações, UNIOESTE, Campus de Cascavel, PR. Neste trabalho, foram avaliados como substratos arroz polido (meio padrão), arroz vermelho, arroz polido suplementado com melaço (2,5%, 5% e 10%), resíduo de cervejaria, resíduo de fecularia, arroz polido + resíduo de cervejaria (1:1) e arroz polido + resíduo de fecularia (1:1). Os experimentos foram realizados em triplicata, em frascos Erlernmeyer de 250 mL contendo 30 g do substrato (ou 15 g de cada, quando em mistura) e umidade de 70 ± 10%. Os frascos foram inoculados com 0,5 mL da suspensão de conídios (1 × 108 conídios/mL) e incubados em BOD (25 ± 1o C, fotofase 12h, 7 dias). Dentre os meios testados, verificou-se uma elevada produção de conídios no meio composto por arroz + resíduo de cervejaria (11,3 × 108 conídios/g de substrato) e no arroz (9,6 × 108 conídios/g). Os conídios produzidos no meio de arroz + resíduo de cervejaria apresentaram atividade inseticida frente a Spodoptera frugiperda semelhante a dos conídios produzidos no arroz. Este novo meio de cultivo poderá proporcionar uma redução de custo de aproximadamente 50%, representando uma alternativa viável para a produção do fungo.


Increasing costs of substrate for production of Metarizhiuma nisopliae raise the necessity of investigating the efficiency of some agro-industrial residues that, in addition to important nutritional properties, are widely available at low cost. The assays were conducted at the Fermentation Technology Laboratory, UNIOESTE, Cascavel, PR, Brazil. In this work, substrates such as polished rice (standard media), red rice, polished rice + sugar molasses (2.5%, 5% and 10%), brewery residue, cassava residue, polished rice + brewery residue (1:1) and polished rice + cassava residue (1:1) were evaluated. The experiments were carried out in triplicate, in Erlernmeyer flasks of 250 mL, containing 30 g of the substrate (or 15 g of each one, when as mixture) and moisture content of 70 ± 10%. The flasks were inoculated with 0.5 mL of conidia suspension (1 × 108 conidia/mL) and then incubated in controlled temperature and light (25 ± 1o C, 12 hours photophase, 7 days). High conidial production was verified in rice + brewery residue media (11.30 × 108 conidia/g of substrate and in the polished rice (9.59 × 108 conidia/g of substrate). The conidia produced in rice + brewery residue media showed an insecticidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda similar to that attained with the conidia produced in rice. This new culture media may provide a reduction of approximately 50% in the production cost, thus presenting a viable alternative for the fungus production.
