METHODS OF PREPARING BIOSURFACTANTS USING CARBON DIOXIDE AND/OR LIGNOCELLULOSE AS SUBSTRATE
Unique carbon dioxide or lignocellulosic substrate is prepared and used to produce biosurfactants, based on different types of microorganism fermenting strains, using carbon dioxide or lignocellulose-based raw materials as the primary feedstock, subsequently utilizing a fermentation process to synthesize different structures of biosurfactants. This is a two-phase reaction where phase-one creates the feedstock for the phase-two reactions. The fermentation broth resulting from the phase-two reaction is the crude biosurfactant; it uses glycolipid or lipopeptide biosurfactant as the main component. The broth is then refined by filtration, then concentrated, and further purified to obtain the pure biosurfactant material. The biosurfactant of the present disclosure can be applied to industries such as petroleum, food or agriculture, daily chemicals, industrial chemicals, environmental protection, and medicine.

Cellulosic enzyme recycling from separation of saccharified biomass
The present disclosure provides methods for generating sugars from a cellulosic biomass. The methods combine treatment of the biomass using a high-shear milling device and saccharification of the biomass to partially hydrolyze the biomass. The biomass can be saccharified either after or simultaneously with the high-shear milling treatement. The partially hydrolyzed biomass is then separated into a solids stream with saccharification enzymes, and a liquid stream with sugars. The solids stream and associated enzymes are further incubated under saccharification conditions to produce additional sugars, or are recycled and added to fresh biomass, which is saccharified under high-shear milling conditions. The methods result in improved conversion of cellulosic biomass to glucose.
