Figure 1

Deproteination of a) wet shrimp shells and b) dried shrimp shells by enrichment cultures M1 and M2. Decalcification with lactic acid, produced in-situ by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from glucose was started after 68 h in the wet shrimp assay (a) and after 140 h in the dried shrimp assay (b) by addition of glucose and LAB. Twice the amount of glucose had to be added in the dry shrimp shell assay as compared to the assay with wet shrimp shells, due to the higher amount of total solids in dry shrimp shells.
