  • Title: Solid-state production of biopulp by Phanerochaete chrysosporium using steam-exploded wheat straw as substrate.
    Author: Chen H, Xu F, Li Z.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2002 Feb; 81(3):261-3. PubMed ID: 11800492.
    Abstract:
    A novel material for biopulp-making, steam-exploded wheat straw (SEWS), was studied. During the steam explosion process, the hemicellulose was partly degraded and became water-soluble sugar as the carbon resource of the chosen microbe growth, and compared with non-SEWS, the degradation amount of cellulose decreased and the degradation amount of lignin increased for the fermented steam-exploded wheat straw (FSEWS) cultured with Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME-446. Under the optimum conditions of solid-state ferrmentation (SSF), the degradation amount of lignin reached 60% on the 5th day and the fermented straw residue could be used directly as the material for pulp making.
