Evaluation of Chlorella (Chlorophyta) as Source of Fermentable Sugars via Cell Wall Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Figure 1
Time course for glucose accumulation upon the enzymatic hydrolysis of C. homosphaera and C. zofingiensis polysaccharides. Cells suspensions (100 mg dry mass·mL−1) in 50 mM citrate buffer pH 4.8 were hydrolyzed by a mixture of cellulases, xylanases, and amylases enzymes produced by Tricoderma reesei—RUT C30 and Aspergillus awamori—for 24 h at 50°C. Aliquots were withdrawn at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h hydrolysis.
