Notes:
The kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis of different lignocellulosic materials (wheat straw, newspaper and microcrystalline cellulose Avicel PH 101) was studied using the cellulase complexes from Trichoderma reesei QM 9414 and its mutants M 5, M 6, MHC 15 and MHC 22. The maximum yields of hydrolysis were obtained with wheat straw partially delignified with 1% NaOH as substrate, and using the enzyme from the mutants T. reesei M 6 and MHC 22. The possibility of simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol fermentation of wheat straw using the enzyme complex from M 6 and yeasts of the genus Candida and Torulopsis was also investigated. A good conversion of liberated glucose and cellobiose to ethanol was obtained, however, xylose was not fermented.
