Cellulose Fermentation: Effect of Substrate Pretreatment on Microbial Growth

RESUMO
The effects of chemical, physical, and enzymatic treatments of rice straw and sugarcane bagasse on the microbial digestibility of cellulose have been investigated. Treatment with 4% NaOH for 15 min at 100 C increased the digestibility of cellulose from 29.4 to 73%. Treatment with 5.2% NH3 could increase digestibility to 57.0% Treatments with sulfuric acid and crude cellulase preparation solubilized cellulose but did not increase the digestibility. Grinding or high-pressure cooking of the substrate had little effect on increasing the digestibility of cellulosic substrates by the Cellulomonas species.
