- Dry chemo-mechanical pretreatments impact biomass crystallinity and macroporosity.
- Dry chemo-mechanical pretreatment increased the carboxylate production rate by RWS.
- Dry chemo-mechanical pretreated biomass enhances the microbial xylanase activity.
- Initial biomass macroporosity correlated with the biological acidogenic potential.
Innovative dry chemo- and chemo-mechanical pretreatments form an interesting approach for modifying the native physico-chemical composition of lignocellulose facilitating its microbial conversion to carboxylates. Here, the impact of four dry-pretreatment conditions on the microbial transformation of wheat straw was assessed: milling to 2 mm and 100 µm, and NaOH chemical impregnation at high substrate concentrations combined with milling at 2 mm and 100 µm. Pretreatment effect was assessed in the light of substrate structure and composition, its impact on the acidogenic potential and the major enzyme activities of a rumen-derived microbial consortium RWS. Chemo-mechanical pretreatment strongly modified the substrate macroporosity. The highest carboxylate production rate was reached after dry chemo-mechanical treatment with NaOH at 100 µm. A positive impact of the dry chemo-mechanical treatment on xylanase activity was observed also. These results underline that increasing substrate macroporosity by dry chemo-mechanical pretreatment had a positive impact on the microbial acidogenic potential.
