Production of fuel alcohol by Saccharomyces strains from tropical habitats

Strains of Saccharomyces spp. from tropical substrates tolerated temperatures up to 40 degree C, sucrose concentrations up to 50% (w/v) and ethanol concentrations up to 20 g/L in fermentation conditions. Strain TD200 tolerated 20 g/l of ethanol. The ethanol produced by strain DR1459 was comparable t...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Strains of Saccharomyces spp. from tropical substrates tolerated temperatures up to 40 degree C, sucrose concentrations up to 50% (w/v) and ethanol concentrations up to 20 g/L in fermentation conditions. Strain TD200 tolerated 20 g/l of ethanol. The ethanol produced by strain DR1459 was comparable to that of industrial strain HTYM-81. These strains have potential use for the production of fuel alcohol. (DBO)
