conducted and 85.64 g l1 glucose, 5.46 g l1 cellobiose, and
2.91 g l1 xylose was released in the end. Then, the L-lactic acid
concentration increased along with the fermentation time when
Bacillus sp. NL01 was inoculated. After fermentation for 42 h, L-lactic
acid was 56.37 g l1 which was similar to the result using lignocellulosic
hydrolyzates supernatant as substrate (Fig. 5B). The
byproducts of the fermentation by Bacillus sp. NL01 were determined
by HPLC. No other organic acid was detected, which indicated
that Bacillus sp. NL01 was homofermentative and most of
the glucose was converted into lactic acid.
