Abstract
Due to the limited availability of fossil fuels, pollution causing serious environmental issues, and their continuously rising price, the development of low-cost efficient enzymes and their implementation in biomass-based bioenergy industries are highly demanded. In the present work, phytogenic fabrication of copper oxide based nanocatalyst has been performed using moringa leaves and has been characterized using different techniques. Herein, the impact of different dosages of as-prepared nanocatalyst on fungal co-cultured cellulolytic enzyme production under co-substrate fermentation using wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse in 4:2 ratios in solid state fermentation (SSF) has been investigated. An optimal concentration of 25 ppm of nanocatalyst influenced the production of 32 IU/gds of enzyme, which showed thermal stability at 70 °C for 15 h. Additionally, enzymatic bioconversion of rice husk at 70 °C librated 41 g/L of total reducing sugars, which led to the production of 2390 mL/L of cumulative H 2 in 120 h.
