Fermentation profiles in bioconversions

Summary

Any complex substrate biomass can be characterised by its “fermentation profile”, i.e. a complex substrate biomass, in the presence of an ubiquitous microbial mixed culture and under given environmental conditions,ferments readily in mainly only one unique way. This micro-ecological model axiom is substantiated by the study of non-sterile fermentations of two complex substrate biomasses, the algae Hydrodictyon and Tetraselmis, as a function of various environmental conditions.
