Produção de glicose por biodegradação de resíduos agrícolas em um município do estado de Sergipe

Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop an alternative to the use of agricultural waste using biotechnology in irrigated perimeter Potion of Ribeira, in the municipality of Itabaiana. A data survey of producers and relations with agricultural waste was conducted. With this, get a perspective of environmental sustainability in the context of irrigated agriculture. The agricultural waste used was corn stover. The biodegradation of corn stover was carried out using microorganisms that has emerged as an alternative for the production of glucose, which is a constituent of great industrial interest, because of the possibility of its conversion to ethanol. Bioreactors were constructed for monitoring the degradation of cellulose and subsequent production of glucose. The present study demonstrated that it is possible to get a biodegradation of agricultural, waste rich in cellulose, amounting to 92.59%, showing that the possible bioindustrialização agricultural waste, contributing to the sustainable development of the community and therefore the region.
