PG - 353-364 LID - 10.1007/s13205-013-0120-x [doi] AB - Rice straw is one of the potential economic feedstock for biobutanol production through ABE fermentation. However, the rice straw hydrolysate-based fermentation medium needs to be supported with nutritional elements. In this study, an attempt is made to optimize the rice straw hydrolysate-based fermentation medium employing Clostridium acetobutylicum MTCC 481 using Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) statistical model. Initially, a set of 12 nutrient components viz. MgNO(3).6H(2)O, FeNO(3), NH(4)NO(3), yeast extract, PABA, biotin, PABA + biotin mixture, CaCl(2), KCl, NaCl, MgSO(4) and CH(3)COONa were screened through classical (one-variable-at-a-time) method. Based on the results, four components (PABA, yeast extract, MgSO(4) and CH(3)COONa) were found to have significant impact, and were further subjected to statistical optimization through Taguchi DOE method. These experiments revealed that RSH supported with 3 g L(-1) of yeast extract and 4 mg L(-1) PABA to RSH was the most optimum fermentation medium. Experiments using 2 L bioreactor with this optimum fermentation medium showed nearly complete utilization of soluble sugars with the production of 8.7 g L(-1) of total solvents and 6 g L(-1) of butanol. The experimental data were fitted to kinetic models reported in the literature to determine the kinetic parameters of the fermentation process. An interesting result was revealed from this analysis that the under optimized fermentation medium, the kinetic parameters for both shake flask and bioreactor level were similar. This essentially means that effect of scale of operation is rendered insignificant when fermentation medium is under optimum conditions.
