Item Attachment of Methanotrophic Bacteria to Materials for Methane Emission Reduction(2018) Rauzi, Joseph; Hu, Bo; Zhang, Laura; Zamalloa, CarlosItem Designing and building a lab-scale solid state anaerobic digester coupled with a bioelectrochemical treatment to process food waste: A Reflection(2019) Albrecht, Leta; Ding, Lingkan; Hu, BoItem Enhancing Feed Digestibility and Nutritional Property of Rapeseed Meal by Fungal Treatment in Solid Cultures(2019-05) Stach, Lauren L.; Heidari, Fatemeh; Rajendran, Aravindan; Øverland, Margareth; Mydland, Liv Torunn; Øvrum Hansen, Jon; Urriola, Pedro; Shurson, Jerry; Hu, BoItem Foaming in Swine Manure Pits: Current Understanding and Solutions(University of Minnesota. Minnesota Extension Service, 2012-09) Clanton, Chuck; Jacobson, Larry; Hu, Bo; Akdeniz, Neslihan; Schmidt, DavidItem Fungal Fermentation of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) with Trichoderma reesei and Soybean Hull(2021) Gallant, Ethan T; Hu, Bo; Sun, XiaoThe main issue with utilizing DDGS as feeding ingredients for mono-gastric animals such as swine is its high concentration of fiber, phytate, and low levels of important amino acids, such as lysine, threonine, and methionine. To improve the utility of DDGS, the impact of solid-state fermentation on DDGS with the fungal strains, Trichoderma reesei (TR), Aspergillus oryzae (AO), and Mucor indicus (MI) was investigated. Results from experiments show fermenting DDGS and soybean hull with Trichoderma reesei and urea as the substrate for six days provides the best improvement in the amino acid profile and the most phytate and structural carbohydrate reduction. Fermentation DDGS and soybean hull with TR and urea produced a 56.84% increase in lysine, threonine, and methionine compared to the control samples analyzed. With TR and urea, phytate levels were reduced by 23.41%. Additionally, TR reduced the total carbohydrates in DDGS by 7.19% compared to TR and MI. TR and MI both produced the most amino acids with urea as the nitrogen source, while AO produced the most amino acids with ammonium nitrate as the nitrogen source. These results show the solid-state fermentation of DDGS and soybean hull with Trichoderma reesei and urea provide a significant improvement in the overall usefulness of the feed to livestock.Item The Oil Production of Fusarium equiseti UMN-1(2014-01) Soltys, Jennifer; Yang, Yan; Yang, Mi; Hu, BoThe production of microbial lipids offers a potential utilization of lignocelluloses to generate biofuel products. While ethanol can only be blended with gasoline to reduce consumption, microbial lipids can be processed to “drop-in” fuel products and compatible to current engines. Fungal lipid accumulation from lignocelluloses has great potential and deserves further research and development for the following reasons: 1) It is more suitable to develop a smaller scale and more robust bioconversion approach, which would be a significant advance in the bioenergy sciences & 2) It offers greater potential for lignocelluloses utilization and possible commercialization. The objective of this research is to develop a small scale conversion platform to integrate agricultural biomass harvesting, packaging, storage, and pre-processing to produce fungal lipids as a “drop in” fuel.Item Photosynthetic biofilm reactor (PBR) for nutrient removal from wastewater(2018) Prill, Allison; Rajendran, Aravindan; Hu, BoItem Phytate extraction from corn ethanol co-products(2016) Sinchai, Maneewan; Hu, BoItem Solubilization of Potassium and Phosphorus via Fungi(2022) Lindemann, Claire; Sun, Xiao; Hu, Bo
