Summary Increasing concern about the environment, food and feed shortages and hike in the price of petroleum have stimulated interest in new ways of producing biofuels. The interest is rapidly increasing towards converting agricultural wastes to commercially valuable products. Biofuels made from waste biomass can offer immediate and sustained greenhouse gas advantages. In this direction, we are focusing on Citrus processing waste, a byproduct of juice manufacture, which contains high amount of flavonoids and polysaccharides. There is a considerable industrial interest in the enzymatic transformation of flavonoids to hydrolysis products; that offers a pathway to bio-energy generation. Rhamnosidase of bacterial origin are very few and thus are potentially subject for research.

Staphylococcus xylosus, Gram positive cocci, a nonpathogenic member of CNS family, isolated from soil was used to produce α-L-rhamnosidase. This new strain, so far unknown for the production of α-L-Rhamnosidase, was identified and characterized as Staphyloccocus sp. through biochemical tests and 16S DNA sequence analysis. Effect of various medium and process parameters like pH, temperature, aeration and agitation rates and inducer concentration were studied. Further, the enzyme activity was enhanced by adding the inducer and divalent metal ion to the optimised fermentation medium. We have recovered important sugars “rhamnose” and “galacturonic acid” from the processed waste which would be utilized for ethanol production. This presentation will summarize current efforts to develop an enzymatic treatment which would facilitate the economical processing of citrus waste for bioenergy generation.
