Abstract: | Summary Ethanol was produced from xylose, using the enzyme glucose isomerase (xylose isomerase) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The influence of aeration, pH, enzyme concentration, cell mass and the concentration of the respiratory inhibitor sodium azide on the production of ethanol and the formation of by-products was investigated. Anaerobic conditions at pH 6.0, 10 g/l enzyme, 75 g/l dry weight cell mass and 4.6 mM sodium azide were found to be optimal. Under these conditions theoretical yields of ethanol were obtained from 42 g/l xylose within 24 hours.In a fed-batch culture, 62 g/l ethanol was produced from 127 g/l xylose with a yield of 0.49 and a productivity of 1.35 g/l·h. |
