Summary Introduction
Microalgae are phototrophic eukaryotic unicellular species and they found in fresh or marine water. They produce a greater amount of bioactive compounds such as lipids, carotenoids, and fatty acids. These bioactive products are produced using sunlight, water, CO2, and some minerals.

- Switchgrass is used for ethanol production. The composition of the switchgrass is 37% cellulose, 24% xylan, 3% galactan, 4% arabinan, 20% lignin, 7% extractives, and 5% ash. A dilute acid pretreatment method is applied to the switchgrass before enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The pretreatment hydrolyzes 10% hexosan and 90% pentosan into monomeric sugars. Approximately 30% of the hydrolyzed pentoses further react & are decomposed to furfural. Assume that there is no decomposition of the hydrolyzed hexoses. Further Assume that lignin, extractives, and ash do not change during the pretreatment. • How much of each lignocellulosic sugar (glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose) is produced when pretreating 1,000 kg (dry matter) switchgrass? How much furfural is formed? • Is water consumed or produced in these pretreatment hydrolysis and dehydration reactions? How much in each?arrow_forwardThere is a rare microalga that has a promising future as a producer of a new type of biofuel. After research in the lab, it is found that it is having a difficult time propagating outside of its native environment, and it is identified that this is an issue with its respiration pathway. Overall ATP production is around half of expected,and you find that glycolysis isn’t producing any net ATP molecules and only one molecule of NADH. Question: Assuming that the respiration pathway is similar to other prokaryotes, where would you expect to find a nonfunctional mutation in this pathway? What is the reason for this? What could a growth strategy be that can better support this rare bacterium until you can come up with a long-term solution?arrow_forwardWhat do you mean by transpiration? What are various types of transpiration? From where does transpiration occurs?arrow_forward
