Abstract
Yeasts capable of fermenting both D‐xylose and cellobiose to ethanol were screened. Of 213 species of yeasts surveyed, Kluyveromyces cellobiovorus sp. nov., a new species belonging to genus of Kluyveromyces, was selected as the sole strain. This strain accumulated 32, 22, and 19 g/L of ethanol from 8% glucose, D‐xylose, and cellobiose, respectively. It was also shown that this strain produced ethanol from the enzymatic bagasse hydrolysate containing hexoses and pentoses more efficiently than Saccharomyces cerevisiae.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
