Selective carboxylate production from detoxified lignocellulosic prehydrolysates through bioaugmented anaerobic fermentation

Key Points

• The aim is to improve selective carboxylate production from lignocellulosic hydrolysates through detoxification and bioaugmentation.
• Activated carbon detoxification of municipal green residue hydrolysates to remove fermentation inhibitors.
• Bioaugmentation with Lactobacillus pentosus to enhance lactic and acetic acid production.
• Utilization of anaerobic fermentation techniques in mixed cultures.
• Detoxification significantly improved the fermentability of hydrolysates.
• Bioaugmented cultures showed a marked increase in selective production of lactic and acetic acid.
