Abstract: | Several strains and genera of yeast, includingSaccharomyces cerevisiae D5A,Pachysolen tannophilus, S. cerevisiae K-l,Brettanomyces custersii, Candida shehatae, andCandida acidothermophilum, are screened for growth on dilute acid-pretreated softwood prehydrolysate. Selected softwood species found in forest underbrush
of the western United States, which contain predominantly hexosan hemicellulose, were studied. This phase of the work emphasized
debarked Douglas fir. The two best initial isolates were gradually selected for improved growth by adaptation to increasing
prehydrolysate concentrations in batch culture, with due consideration of nutrient requirements. Microaerophilic conditions
were evaluated to encourage tolerance of pretreatment hydrolysate, as well as ethanol product. Adaptation and simultaneous
saccharification and fermentation (SSF) results are used to illustrate improved performance with an adapted strain, compared
to the wild type. |
