AbstractBioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass is a viable option for improving energy security and reducing green house emissions. In the present study Prosopis juliflora, an invasive tree found through out India, with total carbohydrate content of 67.4 +/- 6% was selected as lignocellulosic feedstock for bioethanol production. The hydrolysate obtained after biphasic dilute acid hydrolysis contained initial sugar concentration of 18.70 +/- 0.16 g/L and hence to increase the ethanol yield it was concentrated to 33.59 +/- 0.52 g/L (about two-folds) by vacuum distillation. The concentration of sugars, phenols and furans was analyzed before and after concentration process. The concentrated hydrolysate was further detoxified by over liming, neutralization and charcoal treatment and later used for ethanol fermentation by mono- and co culture method. Monoculture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (VS3) and Pichia stipitis (NCIM 3498) produced 8.52 +/- 0.43 and 4.52 +/- 0.23 g/L of ethanol with 66.21 +/- 3.26% and 60.46 +/- 3.02% of fermentation efficiency, 0.33 +/- 0.02 and 0.31 +/- 0.02 g/g of ethanol yield and 0.24 +/- 0.01 and 0.13 +/- 0.01 g/L/h of productivity, respectively. The co-culture of S. cerevisiae (VS3) and P. stipitis (NCIM 3498) helped to improve all parameters i.e. 10.94 +/- 0.53 g/L of ethanol with fermentation efficiency, ethanol yield and productivity of 83.11 +/- 0.42%, 0.420 +/- 0.01 g/g and 0.30 +/- 0.01 g/L/h, respectively.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y5 (CGMCC no. 2660) and Issatchenkia orientalis Y4 (CGMCC no. 2159) were combined individually with Pichia stipitis CBS6054 to establish the cocultures of Y5 + CBS6054 and Y4 + CBS6054. The coculture Y5 + CBS6054 effectively metabolized furfural and HMF and converted xylose and glucose mixture to ethanol with ethanol concentration of 16.6 g/L and ethanol yield of 0.46 g ethanol/g sugar, corresponding to 91.2% of the maximal theoretical value in synthetic medium. Accordingly, the nondetoxified dilute-acid hydrolysate was used to produce ethanol by co-culture Y5 + CBS6054. The co-culture consumed glucose along with furfural and HMF completely in 12 h, and all xylose within 96 h, resulting in a final ethanol concentration of 27.4 g/L and ethanol yield of 0.43 g ethanol/g sugar, corresponding to 85.1% of the maximal theoretical value. The results indicated that the co-culture of Y5 + CBS6054 was a satisfying combination for ethanol production from non-detoxified dilute-acid lignocellulosic hydrolysates. This co-culture showed a promising prospect for industrial application.

ABSTRACT The recombinant industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain MA-R5 was engineered to express NADP+-dependent xylitol dehydrogenase using the flocculent yeast strain IR-2, which has high xylulose-fermenting ability, and both xylose consumption and ethanol production remarkably increased. Furthermore, the MA-R5 strain produced the highest ethanol yield (0.48 g/g) from nonsulfuric acid hydrolysate of wood chips.

One form of economic development efforts for waste utilization in rural communities is to utilize stem sorghum to produce food grade ethanol. Sorghum stem juice with 150 g/L of sugar concentration was fermented using conventional batch process and cell immobilization continuous process with K-carrageenan as a supporting matrix. The microorganism used was Mutated Zymomonas Mobilis to be compared with a mixture of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis, and a mixture of Mutated Zymomonas Mobilis and Pichia Stipitis. Ethanol in the broth, result of fermentation process, was separated in packed distillation column. Distilate of the column, still contain water and other impurities, was flown into molecular sieve for dehydration and activated carbon adsorption column to remove the other impurities to meet food grade ethanol specification. The packing used in distillation process was steel wool. For batch fermentation, the fermentation using a combination of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis produced the best ethanol with 12.07% of concentration, where the yield and the productivity were 63.49%, and 1.06 g/L.h, respectively. And for continuous fermentation, the best ethanol with 9.02% of concentration, where the yield and the productivity were 47.42% and 174.27 g/L.h, respectively, is obtained from fermentation using a combination of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis also. Fermentation using combination microorganism of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis produced higher concentration of ethanol, yield, and productivity than other microorganisms. Distillation, molecular sieve dehydration and adsorption process is quite successful in generating sufficient levels of ethanol with relatively low amount of impurities.

ABSTRACT For ethanol production from lignocellulose, the fermentation of xylose is an economic necessity. Saccharomyces cerevisiaehas been metabolically engineered with a xylose-utilizing pathway. However, the high ethanol yield and productivity seen with glucose have not yet been achieved. To quantitatively analyze metabolic fluxes in recombinant S. cerevisiae during metabolism of xylose-glucose mixtures, we constructed a stable xylose-utilizing recombinant strain, TMB 3001. The XYL1 and XYL2genes from Pichia stipitis, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, and the endogenousXKS1 gene, encoding xylulokinase (XK), under control of thePGK1 promoter were integrated into the chromosomalHIS3 locus of S. cerevisiae CEN.PK 113-7A. The strain expressed XR, XDH, and XK activities of 0.4 to 0.5, 2.7 to 3.4, and 1.5 to 1.7 U/mg, respectively, and was stable for more than 40 generations in continuous fermentations. Anaerobic ethanol formation from xylose by recombinant S. cerevisiae was demonstrated for the first time. However, the strain grew on xylose only in the presence of oxygen. Ethanol yields of 0.45 to 0.50 mmol of C/mmol of C (0.35 to 0.38 g/g) and productivities of 9.7 to 13.2 mmol of C h−1 g (dry weight) of cells−1 (0.24 to 0.30 g h−1 g [dry weight] of cells−1) were obtained from xylose-glucose mixtures in anaerobic chemostat cultures, with a dilution rate of 0.06 h−1. The anaerobic ethanol yield on xylose was estimated at 0.27 mol of C/(mol of C of xylose) (0.21 g/g), assuming a constant ethanol yield on glucose. The xylose uptake rate increased with increasing xylose concentration in the feed, from 3.3 mmol of C h−1 g (dry weight) of cells−1 when the xylose-to-glucose ratio in the feed was 1:3 to 6.8 mmol of C h−1 g (dry weight) of cells−1 when the feed ratio was 3:1. With a feed content of 15 g of xylose/liter and 5 g of glucose/liter, the xylose flux was 2.2 times lower than the glucose flux, indicating that transport limits the xylose flux.

ABSTRACT Bioethanol production from starchy biomass via consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) will benefit from amylolytic Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that produce high levels of recombinant amylases. This could be achieved by using strong promoters and modification thereof to improve gene expression under industrial conditions. This study evaluated eight endogenous S. cerevisiae promoters for the expression of a starch-hydrolysing α-amylase gene. A total of six of the native promoters were modified to contain a promoter-proximal intron directly downstream of the full-length promoter. Varying results were obtained; four native promoters outperformed the ENO1P benchmark under aerobic conditions and two promoters showed better expression under simulated CBP conditions. The addition of the RPS25A intron significantly improved the expression from most promoters, displaying increased transcript levels, protein concentrations and amylase activities. Raw starch-utilising strains were constructed through co-expression of selected α-amylase cassettes and a glucoamylase gene. The amylolytic strains displayed improved fermentation vigour on raw corn starch and broken rice, reaching 97% of the theoretical ethanol yield and converting 100% of the available carbon to products within 120 h in small-scale CBP fermentations on broken rice. This study showed that enhanced amylolytic strains for the conversion of raw starch to ethanol can be achieved through turnkey promoter selection and/or engineering.

The objective of this research are to determine the Saccharification and fermentation efficiency of seaweed solid waste hydrolysate by S. cerevisiae in anaerobic condition. The optimum saccharification yield of acid pretreated waste (40.93+1.72%) was obtained after 48 h with a saccharification rate of 0.51±0.02 g/L/h. Higher yield was showed by NaOH pretreated waste (67.29+1.24%) at 24 hours with a saccharification rate of 0.81±0.06 g/L/h. . Fermentation of enzymatic hydrolysates of acid and base pretreated samples with S. cerevisiae produced maximum ethanol 7.52±0.24 g/L and 14.5+0.54 g/L respectively after 72 hours fermentation. Maximum ethanol yield of 0.31±0.03 g/g and 0.40+0.02 g/g sugar respectively for acid and base pretreated samples. The ethanol yields showing that base pretreated sample was producing higher conversion ratio of substrate (80% of theoretical yield) compared to acid pretreated sample (62% of theoretical yield).
