Agro-industrial by-products valorization for fructooligosaccharide production with Zymomonas mobilis.

ABSTRACT: Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) have gained attention due to their prebiotic properties and potential health benefits. This study explores the production of FOS using Zymomonas mobilis ZM4, a promising candidate for biotechnological processes, utilizing corn steep liquor (CSL) and sugarcane molasses as alternative and sustainable carbon and nitrogen sources. Two distinct media formulations were investigated, namely one composed of CSL supplemented with yeast extract (YE), and another utilizing sugarcane molasses. CSL was evaluated at concentrations of 10 g L^-1 and 12 g L^-1 in combination with YE. The optimal combination, 12 g L^-1 CSL and 8 g L^-1 YE, yielded 60.00 ± 0.44 g L^-1 FOS with a productivity of 1.250 ± 0.009 g L^-1 h
