A hyperefficient process for enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis in the intensive mass transfer reactor

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A new type of bioreactor, the intensive mass transfer reactor (IMTR), has been developed for enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. Using T. reesei cellulases (2 FPU/ml), 3.5–6% of sugars were obtained in the IMTR after 0.5–2 h of cellulose hydrolysis with a productivity of 30–73 g/l.h.
