Fig. 1From: Production of l(+)-lactic acid from acid pretreated sugarcane bagasse using Bacillus coagulans DSM2314 in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation strategyProcess overview of the production of lactic acid from sugarcane bagasse, either using batch SSF or two-stage SSF. 1: acid pretreatment on pilot plant scale as shown in described research [7]. 2: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of the solid fraction obtained after solid–liquid separation (this work). The liquid fraction can either be used in the SSF, or can be used in a separate fermentationBack to article page
