Process oscillations in continuous ethanol fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (original) (raw)

Ethanol fermentation in an immobilized cell reactor using< i> Saccharomyces cerevisiae

2004

Fermentation of sugar by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for production of ethanol in an immobilized cell reactor (ICR) was successfully carried out to improve the performance of the fermentation process. The fermentation set-up was comprised of a column packed with beads of immobilized cells. The immobilization of S. cerevisiae was simply performed by the enriched cells cultured media harvested at exponential growth phase.
