Ethanol and Protein from Ethanol Plant By-Products Using Edible Fungi Neurospora intermedia and Aspergillus oryzae

Figure 6

Concentration profiles of arabinose (diamonds), ethanol (circles), glucose (squares), and xylose (triangles) during a two-stage cultivation in a 2.5 L continuous-stirred tank reactor. The first 72 h stage corresponds to the production of ethanol by N. intermedia with 1 FPU cellulase/g SS and the second 72 h stage corresponds to the production of biomass by A. oryzae after the medium had been distilled and its solids sieved. Error bars represent two standard deviations.
