Severe plastics pollution derived from the wide use and the past incorrect dispersion of petroleum-based plastics. The development of bioplastics/biopolymers with the same chemical/physical characteristics of conventional plastics can be a solution to the problems of their degradability. Polybutylene succinate was among the most investigated biopolymers for these characteristics that can be produced from bio-based succinic acid and butan-1,4-diol. Succinic acid can be produced through fermentation process using microorganisms as Actinobacillus succinogenes that were able to utilise glucose from several sources as lignocellulosic biomasses. Lignocellulosic biomass can be ideal candidates for glucose supply but the processes to release fermentable sugars can produce inhibitors (acids and furans) of the biological processes for succinic acid production. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the growth of A. succinogenes for the production of succinic acid under acetic acid and furfural at different concentration on inoculum with pre-adaptation and without adaptation. The results highlighted that pre-inoculum adaptation was essential for the growth of the strain and succinic acid production that decreased strongly under the synergistic effect of acetic acid and furfural in the broth (63% inhibition rate of growth) respect to inoculum with pre-inoculum adaptation (29% inhibition rate of growth). |
