Organic acids production of rice straw fermented with several types of microorganism at different temperatures

The experiment was carried out to examine the organic acids production of rice straw fermented with some types of microorganisms at different temperatures. the experiment was designed as split plot-completely randomized design. the main plot was temperatures treatments (25,35,45°c) and the sub plot were microorganisms (control,control+mollases,lactobacillus fermentum,bacillus subtilis,bacillus coagulant,saccharomyces cerevisiae,aspergillus niger). the highest lactic acid productions was in b. coagulans treatment at 35°c (53.79 g/kg dm). the highest acetic acid productions was in l. fermentum at 35°c (13.20 g/kg dm),while the highest propionic acid productions were in control treatment at 35°c (0.37 g/kg dm). © 2012 diponegoro university. all rights reserved.
