    International audienceSyrup resulting from date by-products constitutes a favorable medium for yeast development, owing to its sugar composition; it was hence tested for ethanol production. Three yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Candida pelliculosa, were selected for ethanol production on dates syrup. In batch fermentation, the ethanol concentration depended on the initial sugar concentration and the yeast strain. For an initial sugar concentration of 174.0 ± 0.2 kg m−3, maximum ethanol concentration was 63.0 ± 0.1 kg m−3 during S. cerevisiae growth, namely higher than the amounts achieved during Z. rouxii and C. pelliculosa growth, 33.0 ± 2.0 kg m−3 and 41.0 ± 0.3 kg m−3 respectively. Contrarily, only Z. rouxii was able to grow on 358.0 ± 1.0 kg m−3 initial sugar amount, resulting in 55.0 ± 1.0 kg m−3 ethanol produced

    Les unitĂ©s de conditionnement des dattes gĂ©nĂšrent des quantitĂ©s importantes de dĂ©chets issues des Ă©carts de triage. Cette biomasse, considĂ©rĂ©e jusqu'alors comme un dĂ©chet avec un impact sur l'environnement peut ĂȘtre transformĂ©e en produit Ă  haute valeur ajoutĂ©. La valorisation des sous-produits de l'industrie des dattes en biocarburant s'inscrit dans une dĂ©marche Ă©conomique et environnementale. Mais les fortes teneurs en sucres dans les sirops de dattes induisent une forte pression osmotique qui limite la capacitĂ© fermentaire des micro-organismes tel que Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ceci nous a conduit Ă  utiliser des souches osmotolĂ©rantes comme Zygosaccharomyces rouxii et Candida Pelliculosa. DiffĂ©rents essais ont Ă©tĂ© menĂ©s dans des milieux de culture Ă  base de sirop de dattes, Ă  diffĂ©rentes teneurs en sucres, en milieu discontinue et parfaitement agitĂ©. Les essais menĂ©s dans un milieu de culture Ă  base de jus de dattes Ă  17,4 °Brix, conduisent Ă  la production d'Ă©thanol aux concentrations de 63 g L-1, 41 g L-1 et 33 g L-1 respectivement pour les levures Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida Pelliculosa et Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Les essais menĂ©s dans le milieu Ă  35,8 °Brix (milieu de culture se rapprochant le plus des sirops de dattes brutes) montrent que la croissance des levures Saccharomyces cerevisiae et Candida Pelliculosa est inhibĂ©e par la pression osmotique Ă©levĂ©e causĂ©e par la haute concentration en sucres. Seule la levure xĂ©rotolĂ©rante Zygosaccharomyces rouxii s'est adaptĂ©e au milieu en produisant 55 g L-1 de bioĂ©thanol. La souche isolĂ©e des sous-produits de des dattes comme Ă©tant un Bacillus amyloliquifaciens est une souche allochtone capable de se developper dans un milieu hyper-osmotique et convertir les trois sucres (glucose, fructose et saccharose) en Ă©thanol, contrairement Ă  Z. rouxii qui est une souche fructophile. Le rendement en Ă©thanol de B. amyloliquefaciens pour le milieu M-S175 est de 0,45 g.g-1, bien supĂ©rieur Ă  ceux de S. cerevisiae, C. pelliculosa et Z. rouxii qui donnent respectivemnt 0,38, 0,29 et 0,34 g.g-1. En produisant 90 g.L-1 d'Ă©thanol pour le milieu M-S350, B. amyloliquefaciens nous semble prometteuse pour valoriser un substrat trĂšs riche en sucres fermentescible.Conditioning unit's dates generate large amounts of wastage after sorting. This biomass, previously regarded as waste product with a high impact on the environment can be transformed into a highly valued product. The use of by-products of date fruit into biofuel industry is a part of an environmentaly friended economic process. But high levels of sugars in the syrups of dates induce high osmotic pressure which limits the ability of fermentative microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This led us to use osmotolerant strains, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Candida pelliculosa. Various tests were conducted in culture media containing date juice at different levels in sugars, and perfectly stirred in batch conditions. The tests performed in a culture medium based on date juice at 17.4 ° Brix, led to the production of 63 g L-1, 41 g L-1 and 33.1 g L-1 of ethanol for the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida pelliculosa and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, respectively. Tests conducted at 35.8 °Brix (culture medium close to syrup raw dates) show that the growth of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida pelliculosa is inhibited by high osmotic pressure caused by the high concentration of sugars. Only the xerotolerante yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is adapted to the environment and produced 55 g L-1 of bioethanol. The strain isolated from by-products of dates, identified as bacillus amyloliquefaciens, is able to develop in a hyper-osmotic environment and convert the three sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) into ethanol, unlike Z. rouxii which is a fructophilic strain. The yield of ethanol for the M-S175 is 0.45 g.g-1, higher than those of S. cerevisiae, C. pelliculosa and Z. rouxii which give respectivemnt 0.38, 0.28 and 0.34 g.g-1. By producing 90 g.L-1 of ethanol for M-S350, B. amyloliquefaciens seems promising to valorize a very rish substrate in fermentable sugars

    Identification of strain isolated from dates (PhƓnix dactylifera L.) for enhancing very high gravity ethanol production

    International audienceEthanol production from by-products of dates in very high gravity was conducted in batch fermentation using two yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, as well as a native strain: an osmophilic strain of bacteria which was isolated for the first time from the juice of dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.). The phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S ribosomal RNA and gyrB sequence and physiological analysis indicated that the strain identified belongs to the genus of Bacillus, B. amyloliquefaciens. The ethanol yields produced from the syrup of dates (175 g L(-1) and 360 g L(-1) of total sugar) were 40.6% and 29.5%, respectively. By comparing the ethanol production by the isolated bacteria to that obtained using Z. rouxii and S. cerevisiae, it can be concluded that B. amyloliquefaciens was suitable for ethanol production from the syrup of dates and can consume the three types of sugar (glucose, fructose, and sucrose). Using Z. rouxii, fructose was preferentially consumed, while glucose was consumed only after fructose depletion. From this, B. amyloliquefaciens was promising for the bioethanol industry. In addition, this latter showed a good tolerance for high sugar concentration (36%), allowing ethanol production in batch fermentation at pH 5.0 and 28 °C in date syrup medium. Promising ethanol yield produced to sugar consumed were observed for the two osmotolerant microorganisms, Z. rouxii and B. amyloliquefaciens, nearly 32-33%, which were further improved when they were cocultivated, leading to an ethanol to glucose yield of 42-43%
