Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
  • Biomass Energy
CONT

Performance Evaluation of Variable-Surface Area Bioreactors for Cellulose Utilization.... The use of high cell densities in continuous reactors can result in severe operational limitations. The objective of this work is to determine the effectiveness of changing the geometry of packed-bed immobilized enzyme/cell reactors. The results of the comparisons of tubular reactors with both tapered-bed and radial-flow reactors will be presented for both the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellobiose and the fermentation of glucose.

CONT

Évaluation du rendement de bioréacteurs à surface variable servant à la transformation de la cellulose. La forte densité cellulaire dans les réacteurs en continu peut considérablement en limiter les possibilités d'exploitation. On veut déterminer s'il est efficace de modifier la géométrie des réacteurs à lit dense de cellules et d'enzymes immobilisées. On compare les réacteurs tubulaires avec les modèles à lit conique ou à écoulement radial pour l'hydrolyse enzymatique de la cellobiose et pour la fermentation du glucose.

  • Biomass Energy

DEF

Biomass material constituted of chemically grown cells.

OBS

cell: Basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. It is a complex collection of molecules with many different activities that are integrated to form a functional unit.

CONT

The use of growing cells in suspension as biocatalysts is generally termed fermentation. Such processes may be distinguished as batch, fed batch or continuous depending on the kinetic relationship between addition of substrate and harvesting of product. Non-growing systems include the use of suspensions, cells retained within a semipermeable membrane, or cells immobilized in or on a solid support. Such immobilized cells may be used in a fixed bed, expanded bed, fluid bed or fully mixed system.... Although many so-called fermentation reactions are carried out under aerobic conditions, these are of little interest in the present context since, when oxygen is used as the terminal electron acceptor, the production of low molecular weight metabolites of the type required is restricted and a high proportion of the carbon in the feedstock is converted into cell biomass.

CONT

L'immobilisation cellulaire. Immobiliser les microalgues sur des supports poreux, transparents à la lumière, perméables aux échanges gazeux et à l'eau chargée de sels minéraux, c'est résoudre le problème ultérieur de la récolte par séparation de la phase liquide (milieu de culture) et de la phase solide (biomasse cellulaire).
