The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to second generation (2G) sugars is crucial for production of biofuels and value added products. However, due to their recalcitrant nature of lignocellulosic biomass, pretreatment is an essential step to increase in increasing the accessibility of cellulolytic enzymes to hemicellulose and cellulose to obtain fermentable 2G sugars. In this study, sugarcane bagasse was pretreated with nitric acid and sodium hydroxide sequentially. The bagasse submitted to sequential acid-base pretreatment led to the production of cellulosic pulp that retained 92.33% of cellulose and eliminated 70.63% of lignin. The obtained cellulosic pulp was enzymatically hydrolyzed (10% of total solids) by Cellic Ctec 2, Novozyme (Curitiba, Brazil), showed a yield of 72.05%, with 67.89 g/L of glucose. The biotechnological potential of cellulosic hydrolyzate supplemented with soybean and rice bran extracts for lasiodiplodan (LAS) production by Lasiodiplodia theobromae CCT 3966 was evaluated by using DCCR 2 2 to study the carbon/nitrogen relationship, generating mathematical models with 95% confidence levels and p-values less than 0.05. The best conditions with soybean bran supplementation allowed to obtain 16.2 g/L of LAS and 8.34 g/L of cell biomass, while supplementation with rice bran produced 22.03 g/L and 14.03 g/L at 120 h, respectively. Some properties from obtained LAS fractions were characterized, such as high purity, low solubility, pseudoplastic behaviour. In addition, SEM, DSC and GPC techniques were used, demonstrated new characteristics, whereas the XRD and FTIR analyzes demonstrated composition and similar values to those reported in the literature for LAS produced by L. theobromae.
