Role of Lactic Acid Fermentation in Bioconversion of Wastes

  • Conference paper
Lactic Acid Bacteria

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 98))

Abstract

Among the biological methods for transforming organic wastes, two types of fermentation processes are important, as they allow the recovery of nutrients for use in the production of feed, fertilizers, and food. The term “fermentation” will be used in this regard in the broad sense used by Prescott & Dunn (1959): “a process in which chemical changes are brought about in an organic substrate through the action of enzymes elaborated by microorganisms.” One of those processes includes the hydrolysis (if required) of biological polymers to simple molecules, and the subsequent growth of microbial populations utilizing organic waste products as their source of energy and nutrients. As a consequence of this kind of process, products such as “single cell protein”, “microbial biomass protein”, “single cell oil”, or such metabolites as alcohol and others, associated or not with the microbial growth, can be produced. Tewari et al. (1988) evaluated acids and cellulase enzymes for the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic residues. Processes for the growth of microbial biomass are generally aerobic, and there is an extensive literature about them (Moo-Young & Gregory, 1986).
