Seven of 37 strains of yeast, recently identified for their ability to ferment D-xylose to ethanol, produced this alcohol from crude hardwood hemicellulose hydrolysate in batch culture, with variable amounts of xylitol as a by-product. Of these, Candida tropicalis showed the greatest potential for ethanol production. The crude acid hydrolysate was found to be inhibitory to all of the yeasts, even at dilute hydrolysate concentrations. Significant improvements in the utilization of the substrate were achieved through both strain acclimatization and chemical pretreatment of the hydrolysate.

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.

Multistage ethanol production from lignocellulosic acid hydrolysate using two different microorganisms in two reactors enhances the utilization of all sugars (pentose and hexose), with higher ethanol productivity.
