Abstract
Solid-state fermentation (SSF) has been largely employed during the last three decades to produce different biomolecules of industrial interest, particularly enzymes. Through the use of agroindustrial wastes as SSF substrates, an economic process of lipases production can be achieved. In this chapter we describe a comprehensive SSF method for producing an economical preparation of Rhizomucor miehei lipase, employing sugarcane bagasse and used vegetal oil as substrates. To demonstrate the usefulness of the lipase produced by this method, we utilized directly the dried fermented solid, as a heterogeneous biocatalyst for the ethanolysis of different fats and oils. Final ethyl ester conversions (>90%, 24 h) were similar with those obtained using a commercial immobilized Rhizomucor miehei lipase at our best conditions. In this work we demonstrated that SSF is an easy and economical method for the production of lipases that can be used directly as heterogeneous biocatalysts for biodiesel production, employing low-cost feedstocks.
