The present study proposes a system whereby lignin biodegradation in lignocellulosic units may be optimized with the minimum loss of cellulose and maximum lignin loss. Losses were followed during 21 days solid-state fermentation of sugar cane bagasse with Termitomyces sp. Biodegradation of sugar cane bagasse, fortified with different concentrations of sucrose and glucose with and without ammonium sulphate was studied. Maximum lignin loss of 27.0%, substrate initially containing 18.6% lignin, occurred when the substrate was fortified with 5% glucose in the absence of ammonium sulphate. The lignin loss in the corresponding fermentation conditions was accompanied by the minimum cellulose loss of 8.5%. Bagasse initially contained 58.70% cellulose and the highest cow reticulo-rumen digestibility of 24.4%, compared with 11.5% of the raw sugar cane bagasse. Efficiency of the solid-state fermentation is discussed. |
