Abstract

Gracilaria verrucosa, red seaweed, is a promising biomass for bioethanol production due to its high carbohydrate content. The optimal hyper thermal (HT) acid hydrolysis conditions are 12% (w/v) G. verrucosa with 0.2 M H2SO4 at 130 °C for 15 min, with a severity factor of 1.66. This HT acid hydrolysis produces 50.7 g/L monosaccharides. The maximum monosaccharide concentration of 58.0 g/L was achieved with 96.6% of the theoretical monosaccharide production from 120 g dry weight/L G. verrucosa slurry after HT acid hydrolysis and enzymatic saccharification. Fermentation was carried out by removing an inhibitory compound and via yeast adaptation to galactose. Both Pichia stipitis and Kluyveromyces marxianus adapted to galactose were excellent producers, with the ethanol yield (YEtOH) of 0.50 and 29.0 g/L ethanol production. However, the bioethanol productivity with Pichia stipitis adapted to galactose is higher than that with Kluyveromyces marxianus adapted to galactose, being 0.81 and 0.35 g/L/h, respectively. The results from this study can be applied to industrial scale bioethanol production from seaweed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 September 2018.
All research outputs
#18,649,291
of 23,103,903 outputs
Outputs from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#1,799
of 2,533 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#261,929
of 341,518 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#7
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,903 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,533 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,518 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
