“…In general terms, the national theoretical Agave biomass potential was ~1 million tons (dry matter) per year for the 2011–2014 period, of which 0.64 million tons correspond to Agave bagasse. This Agave bagasse potential doubled previously reported values ranging from 0.15 to 0.37 million tons of dry matter . However, by considering only the biomass in the centroids, the biomass availability was only 0.2 million tons of dry matter.…”

Mexico is one of the largest agricultural producers in Latin America and generates a large amount of agricultural residue. The aim of this study was to establish the usefulness of four of the main Mexican crops (corn, wheat, sugarcane, and Agave) as feedstock for lignocellulosic bioethanol production. The lignocellulosic residue ratio (RR), defined as weight of residue (in tons) per ton of product, was measured by sampling crop fields in 11 geographic regions of Mexico. The chemical composition, assessed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C NMR), and structural composition (extractives, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents), heating value, and metal content of these lignocellulosic residues were measured. Biorefinery locations, and their theoretical bioethanol production, were suggested using the gravity center method and techno-economic criteria. The highest RR (1.1 ton of straw per ton of grain) was obtained for wheat straw followed by corn 1144

“…Regarding the management and final disposition of AB and TV, it must be highlighted that only a small part of the whole AB generated is used in the manufacturing of different products such as animal feeds, fertilizers, bricks, mattresses, furniture, and packing materials [12,13]. Therefore, most of AB is treated as waste and returned to the fields in the form of piles that are directly exposed to outdoor conditions, where they may cause leachates, odor generation, and atmospheric pollution [12,14]. In the case of TV, it has been reported that approximately 80% of the total volume of TV generated is discharged without receiving adequate treatment into receiving water bodies (e.g.…”

New Advances on Fermentation Processes

Nowadays, the use of agro-industrial by-products as alternative sustainable resources to generate bioenergy and high-value bioproducts is one of the most important research topics to tackle environmental concerns related to the excessive consumption of fossil-based fuels and rapid urbanization and industrialization. This chapter provides a broad overview of the potential of the main tequila industry by-products, agave bagasse and tequila vinasse, for biohydrogen (bioH 2) and biomethane (bioCH 4) production via dark fermentation and anaerobic digestion, respectively. First, pretreatment or conditioning steps commonly applied to tequila by-product streams before downstream biological processes are highlighted. The operational performance of bioH 2-and bioCH 4-producing reactors is subsequently reviewed, with a focus on reactor configuration and performance, microbial metabolic pathways, and the characterization of microbial communities. Additionally, the development of multi-stage anaerobic digestion processes is comprehensively discussed from a practical point of view. Finally, limitations and potential improvements in the field of bioH 2 and bioCH 4 production are presented.

“…Few strains were identified as GLP in the medium with lignocellulosic hydrolysate because, similarly to all lignocellulosic residues, this medium contains xylose and inhibitory compounds [ 19 ]. Not all strains are capable of assimilating this type of sugar in the presence of these compounds [ 19 , 24 , 25 ], which limits the number of strains capable of using lignocellulosic materials. This variation of the method can also be applied to other lignocellulosic residues to reduce the time and resources usually used when selecting oleaginous yeasts [ 25 , 26 ].…”

A Fast and Simple Qualitative Method for Screening Oleaginous Yeasts on Agar

et al. 2018

Finding new oleaginous yeasts is of great interest due to their many important applications. Currently available screening procedures are time-consuming, and most of these require liquid cultures. In this work, a new, fast, economical, and simple qualitative method for screening oleaginous yeasts was developed. The fluorescent dye, Rhodamine B, was selected because its fluorescence is directly correlated to lipid content, and no additional steps or special equipment are needed. This method only requires growing the yeasts on dyed agar plates. Under visible light, it is easy to observe that nonpigmented oleaginous yeasts become colored, whereas non-oleaginous yeasts remain uncolored. The developed method is also useful for improving medium composition in specific applications. Moreover, it was also adapted to use alternative carbon sources, such as lignocellulosic materials and glycerol. The developed method was applied to screen 124 recently isolated nonpigmented yeasts on three different carbon sources, namely, glucose, glycerol, and agave bagasse hydrolysate. Five strains were selected as good lipid producers on all tested carbon sources and accumulated over 48% lipids. Furthermore, the assay was adapted to screen reddish-pigmented yeasts. Considering all the above, the developed method has a wide range of applications in the field of microbial oils.
