UTILIZATION OF EICHHORNIA CRASSIPES IN BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Raksha. K, Chandra Prabha. D

Abstract :

The world’s worst, troublesome and fastest growing aquatic weed Eichhornia crassipes (Water hyacinth) can be potentially beneficial in the production of six carbon compound glucose – Biofuel of living beings. The concept of eradication through utilization is being attempted to overcome the problems caused by the weed. A potent gram positive species Staphylococcus makes use of anched polymer cellulose and degrades it into simple glucose units which can be further processed for bioethanol production. The present study is to identify the maximum yield of glucose that can be measured quantitatively using appropriate method (3, 5 dinitrosalicylic method for glucose estimation) with varying substrate concentration (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0). We observed maximum amount at increased substrate concentration that obeys Michalis menton and Line weaver Burk plot.
