Third Generation Lactic Acid Production by Lactobacillus pentosus from the Macroalgae Kappaphycus alvarezii Hydrolysates

The evaluation of macroalgae as a new raw material for diverse bioprocesses is of great interest due to their fast growth rate and low environmental impact. Lactic acid has a high value in the bio-based industry and is mainly produced via fermentation. The anaerobic lactic acid fermentation of Kappaphycus alvarezii hydrolysates using the high-producing strain Lactobacillus pentosus was evaluated for detoxified and non-treated hydrolysates prepared from concentrated algal biomass and dilute acid solution mixtures. A novel hydrolysate detoxification procedure, combining activated charcoal and over-liming, for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) removal was used. L. pentosus was found to successfully ferment detoxified and untreated hydrolysates produced in up to 30% and 20% w/v solutions, respectively. Significant production rates (1.88 g/L.h) and short lag phases were achieved in bioreactor fermentation operating at 37 °C and pH 6 with 150 rpm impeller velocity. A 0.94 g/g yield from fermentable sugars (galactose and glucose) was achieved, indicating that K. alvarezii could be used as a raw material for lactic acid production, within the context of Third Generation (3G) biorefinery.
