Cellulosic Ethanol Production Using a Dual Functional Novel Yeast

Figure 1

Cellulosic ethanol production using Clavispora NRRL Y-50464 from standard DOE-NREL-pretreated corn stover with a 20% solids loading (equivalent to 7.57% cellulose) by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using 2-L bioreactors. Values of ethanol production are means of three replications with a standard deviation of 0.05 g/L at 48 h and ranged from 0.02 to 0.24 g/L for all time points [21].
