Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Ethanol production from eucalyptus wood hemicellulose hydrolysate by Pichia stipitis Beteiligte: Ferrari, M. D.; Neirotti, E.; Albornoz, C.; Saucedo, E. Erschienen: Wiley, 1992 Erschienen in: Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 40 (1992) 7, Seite 753-759 Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/bit.260400702 ISSN: 0006-3592; 1097-0290 Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: AbstractEthanol production was evaluated from eucalyptus wood hemicellulose acid hydrolysate using Pichia stipitis NRRL Y‐7124. An initial lag phase characterized by flocculation and viability loss of the yeast inoculated was observed. Subsequently, cell regrowth occurred with sequential consumption of sugars and production of ethanol. Polyol formation was detected. Acetic acid present in the hydrolysate was an important inhibitor of the fermentation, reducing the rate and the yield. Its toxic effect was due essentially to its undissociated form. The fermentation was more effective at an oxygen transfer rate between 1.2 and 2.4 mmol/L h and an initial pH of 6.5. The hydrolysate used in the experiences had the following composition (expressed in grams per liter): xylose 30, arabinose 2.8, glucose 1.5, galactose 3.7, mannose 1.0, cellobiose 0.5, acetic acid 10, glucuronic acid 1.5, and galacturonic acid 1.0. The best values obtained were maximum ethanol concentration 12.6 g/L, fermentation time 75 h, fermentable sugar consumption 99% ethanol yield 0.35 g/g sugars consumed, and volumetric ethanol productivity 4 g/L day. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
