Bioethanol Production from Sugarcane Bagasse by a Novel Brazilian Pentose Fermenting Yeast Scheffersomyces shehatae UFMG-HM 52.2: Evaluation of Fermentation Medium

Table 1

Medium composition for the fermentation of S. shehatae UFMG-HM 52.2 for ethanol production. Nutrients were added to detoxified hemicellulosic sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate that was used as sole carbon source in all fermentation media.

Medium #B	5 g/L of peptone; 3 g/L of yeast extract; 3 g/L of malt extract	Parekh et al.[13]
Medium #C	1.73 g/L of ammonium sulfate; 3.56 g/L of potassium phosphate monobasic; 2.62 g/L of yeast extract	Ge et al. [14]
Medium #D	3 g/L of yeast extract; 0.25 g/L of urea; 0.25 g/L of calcium chloride; 0.25 g/L of magnesium sulfate; 2.5 g/L of potassium phosphate monobasic	Sun and Tao [15]
