Abstract: | Surface-engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae codisplaying Rhizopus oryzae glucoamylase and Streptococcus bovis α-amylase on the cell surface was used for direct production of ethanol from uncooked raw starch. By using 50 g/L cells during
batch fermentation, ethanol concentration could reach 53 g/L in 7 days. During repeated batch fermentation, the production
of ethanol could be maintained for seven consecutive cycles. For cells immobilized in loofa sponge, the concentration of ethanol
could reach 42 g/L in 3 days in a circulating packed-bed bioreactor. However, the production of ethanol stopped thereafter
because of limited contact between cells and starch. The bioreactor could be operated for repeated batch production of ethanol,
but ethanol concentration dropped to 55% of its initial value after five cycles because of a decrease in cell mass and cell
viability in the bioreactor. Adding cells to the bioreactor could partially restore ethanol production to 75% of its initial
value. |
