Abstract
The present study was designed to produce ethanol from sugarcane bagasse treated with 2.5% NaOH through a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae G1. Various process parameters such as incubation temperature, incubation period, initial pH and nitrogen sources were studied to achieve the maximum yield of ethanol. The results showed that the optimum ethanol yield (5.90%) was achieved at an incubation temperature of 30°C, initial pH 5.5, inoculum size 3% (v/v), after an incubation period of 96 h. Among various nitrogen sources, ammonium sulphate was found to be the most suitable source for ethanol production. These findings indicate that the optimization of process parameters is necessary to make the fermentation process economical, and the medium designed in the present study could be exploited on a commercial scale after suitable processing.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Life Science publishes high quality and innovative research at the frontier of biology with an emphasis on interdisciplinary research. We particularly encourage manuscripts that lie at the interface of the life sciences and either the more quantitative sciences (including chemistry, physics, mathematics, and informatics) or the social sciences (philosophy, anthropology, sociology and epistemology). We believe that these various disciplines can all contribute to biological research and provide original insights to the most recurrent questions.
