Biotechnol Adv 2023; 63:108100. [PMID: 36669745 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
The conventional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is the most studied yeast and has been used in many important industrial productions, especially in bioethanol production from first generation feedstock (sugar and starchy biomass). However, for reduced cost and to avoid competition with food, second generation bioethanol, which is produced from lignocellulosic feedstock, is now being investigated. Production of second generation bioethanol involves pre-treatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass to sugar monomers containing, amongst others, d-glucose and D-xylose. Intrinsically, S. cerevisiae strains lack the ability to ferment pentose sugars and genetic engineering of S. cerevisiae to inculcate the ability to ferment pentose sugars is ongoing to develop recombinant strains with the required stability and robustness for commercial second generation bioethanol production. Furthermore, pre-treatment of these lignocellulosic wastes leads to the release of inhibitory compounds which adversely affect the growth and fermentation by S. cerevisae. S. cerevisiae also lacks the ability to grow at high temperatures which favour Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of substrates to bioethanol. There is, therefore, a need for robust yeast species which can co-ferment hexose and pentose sugars and can tolerate high temperatures and the inhibitory substances produced during pre-treatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials. Non-conventional yeast strains are potential solutions to these problems due to their abilities to ferment both hexose and pentose sugars, and tolerate high temperature and stress conditions encountered during ethanol production from lignocellulosic hydrolysate. This review highlights the limitations of the conventional yeast species and the potentials of non-conventional yeast strains in commercialization of second generation bioethanol.

Abstract
This study reports high gravity fed-batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (FB-SSF) of sequentially pretreated sugarcane bagasse (SCB) for enhanced bioethanol by employing multiple inhibitor tolerant Kluyveromyces marxianusJKH5 C60. FB-SSF with intermittent feeding of SCB (total 20 % solid loading) and enzyme (total dose of 20 FPU/g) at 6 and 12 h resulted in superior bioethanol production at42 °C. Under optimizedlab-scaleFB-SSF, the maximum ethanoltiter, efficiency and productivities were73.4 ± 1.2 g/L,78 % and 3.0 g/L/h, respectively, after 72 h in presence of inhibitors (acetic acid, furfural, and vanillin at 3, 1, and 1 g/L, respectively). Furthermore, pentose rich dilute acid hydrolysate of SCB was subjected to fermentation by Pichia stipitis NCIM 3499, resulting in ethanol titer of 6.8 g/L. Overall ethanol yield during the developed process was 260.1 g/kg native SCB, which proves industrial potential of the developed bioethanol conversion process.

Abstract
For decades, lignocellulosic biomass has been introduced to the public as the most important raw material for the environmentally and economically sustainable production of high-valued bioproducts by microorganisms. However, due to the strong recalcitrant structure, the lignocellulosic materials have major limitations to obtain fermentable sugars for transformation into value-added products, e.g., bioethanol, biobutanol, biohydrogen, etc. In this review, we analyzed the recent trends in bioenergy production from pretreated lignocellulose, with special attention to the new strategies for overcoming pretreatment barriers. In addition, persistent challenges in developing for low-cost advanced processing technologies are also pointed out, illustrating new approaches to addressing the global energy crisis and climate change caused by the use of fossil fuels. The insights given in this study will enable a better understanding of current processes and facilitate further development on lignocellulosic bioenergy production.

Abstract
The nonrenewable character and deleterious effects of fossil fuels foster the need for cleaner and more inexhaustible energy sources, such as bioethanol. Especially from lignocellulosic biomasses. However, the economic viability of this product in the market depends on process optimization and cost reduction. This research applied a sequential experimental project to investigate the process of enzymatic saccharification and simultaneous fermentation to produce ethanol with sugarcane bagasse. The differential of the work was the application of the strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae AGY001 which was improved by evolutionary engineering to become thermotolerant and by a heterologous expression based on genomic integration by CRISPR/Cas9 to produce endoglucanase and β-glucosidase (AsENDO-AsBGL). The maximum ethanol yield found was 89% of the maximum theoretical yield (released sugars), obtained at temperature concentrations, sugarcane bagasse and inoculum at 40 °C, 16.5%, and 4.0 g/L, respectively (12.5 FPU/g bagasse). The mathematical model obtained can predict approximately 83% of the data set with 95% confidence. Therefore, these findings demonstrated the potential of sugarcane bagasse and S. cerevisiae AGY001 strain (CRISPR/Cas9 modified) in bioethanol production without the need for impractical selection media on an industrial scale, in addition to providing useful insights for the development of SSF processes.

Abstract
Considering the cost-effectiveness of bioethanol production at high temperatures, there is an enduring need to find new thermotolerant ethanologenic yeasts. In this study, a total of eighteen thermotolerant yeasts were isolated from various natural fermented products in Morocco. Ethanol production using 50 g/L glucose or 50 g/L xylose as the sole carbon source revealed potential yeasts with high productivities and volumetric ethanol productivities at high temperatures. Based on molecular identification, the selected thermotolerant fermentative isolates were affiliated with Pichia kudriavzevii, Kluyveromyces marxianus, and Kluyveromyces sp. During the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass at a high temperature (42 °C), the designated yeast P. kudriavzevii YSR7 produced an ethanol concentration of 22.36 g/L, 18.2 g/L and 6.34 g/L from 100 g/L barley straw (BS), chickpea straw (CS), and olive tree pruning (OTP), respectively. It also exhibited multi-stress tolerance, such as ethanol, acetic acid, and osmotic tolerance. Therefore, the yeast P. kudriavzevii YSR7 showed promising attributes for biorefinery-scale ethanol production in the future.

Abstract
The present research work aimed at developing robust yeast cell factory via adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) for improved cellulosic bioethanol production. Kluyveromyces marxianus JKH5, a newly isolated thermotolerant ethanologenic yeast, was engineered by serial passaging for 60 generations in medium supplemented with gradually higher concentration of inhibitors (acetic acid, furfural, and vanillin) that are generated during dilute acid pretreatment. The improved strain K. marxianus JKH5 C60, showed 3.3-fold higher specific growth rate, 56% reduced lag phase and 80% enhanced fermentation efficiency at 42 °C in comparison to parent strain in inhibitor cocktail comprising medium. Bioethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of sequential dilute acid-alkali pretreated sugarcane bagasse in presence of inhibitors, resulted in ethanol titre and yield, respectively, 54.8 ± 0.9 g/L and 0.40 g/g. The adapted yeast can be used to ferment unwashed pretreated biomass, thereby, reducing overall cost, time, and wastewater generation, hence making bioethanol production sustainable.

Abstract
AIMS Isolation, characterization and assessment of inhibitor tolerance of thermotolerant yeasts associated with distillery effluent and molasses, and their use in high-temperature ethanol production from alkali-treated rice straw. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 92 thermotolerant yeasts were isolated from seven different distillery effluent and molasses samples. Based on MSP-PCR, 34 yeasts were selected and identified by sequencing the D1/D2 domain of LSU rDNA. These yeasts belonged to eight genera and nine different species. We assessed the inhibitor tolerance of these 34 well-characterized yeasts against various pre-treatment-generated inhibitors (furfural, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural and acetic acid) and also evaluated their ethanol yields at 40, 45 and 50℃. Among selected strains, Pichia kudriavzevii DSA3.2 exhibited the highest ethanol production (24.5 g l-1 ) with an efficiency of 95.7% at 40℃ using 5% glucose. At 45℃, P. kudriavzevii DSA3.2 and Kluyveromyces marxianus MSS6.3 yielded maximum ethanol titres; 22.3 and 23 g l-1 with 87.4% and 90% efficiency, respectively. While using alkali-treated RS at 45℃, K. marxianus MSS6.3 produced 10.5 g l-1 of ethanol with 84.5% fermentation efficiency via separate hydrolysis and fermentation, and 10.9 g l-1 of ethanol with 85% efficiency via simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. Pichia kudriavzevii DSA3.2, DSA3.1 and K. marxianus MSS6.3 also exhibited significant tolerance against multiple inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Yeast isolates P. kudriavzevii DSA3.2 and K. marxianus MSS6.3 exhibited significant inhibitor tolerance and proved to be suitable for high-temperature ethanol fermentation. After additional optimization and scale-up experiments, these isolates can be exemplary candidates for industrial-scale ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our study recognizes distillery effluents and molasses as specialized niches for yeasts with a broad substrate range, capable of tolerating multiple inhibitors and yielding high levels of ethanol at elevated temperatures. These yeasts can further be exploited for bioethanol production through SSF/SHF at a larger scale.

Abstract
Emergence of "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)" causing "COVID-19" or "coronavirus disease 19" as pandemic has got worldwide attention towards hygiene as the first line of defense for the infection control. It is first line of defense not only from COVID-19 but also from other infectious diseases caused by deadly pathogens such as cholera, hepatitis, tuberculosis, polio, etc. Absence of any particular vaccine or treatment let World Health Organization (WHO) recommend to the public to maintain social distancing along with regularly washing their hands with soap, sanitize their hands (where washing is not possible), and disinfect their belongings and buildings to avoid the infection. Out of various formulations available in the market, WHO has recommended alcohol-based hand sanitizers, which mainly comprise of ethanol, isopropyl alcohols, and hydrogen peroxides in different combinations due to their high potential to kill the broad range of pathogens including bacterial, viral, fungal, helminthes, etc. Therefore, alcohol-based sanitizers are in high demand since centuries to prevent infection from pathogenic diseases. Ethanol is the most common and popular alcohol in terms of vanishing wide range of pathogens, convenient to use and its production. Ethanol is produced worldwide and is used in various sectors, e.g., beauty and cosmetics, food and beverages, and as the most demanding gasoline additive. The present review is focused on the ethanol production in India, its diversified applications emphasizing hand sanitizers with discussions on formulation of sanitizer and disinfectants, and viability of lignocellulosic and food grain-based ethanol. The review article also emphasizes on the technological details of 1G and 2G ethanol production, their associated challenges, and inputs for the improved ethanol yields so as to strengthen the supply chain of ethanol in India, and making "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-reliant India) campaign of Indian government successfully viable.

Abstract
The sugarcane industry is one of the largest in the world and processes huge volumes of biomass, especially for ethanol and sugar production. These processes also generate several environmentally harmful solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes. Part of these wastes is reused, but with low-added value technologies, while a large unused fraction continues to impact the environment. In this review, the classic waste reuse routes are outlined, and promising green and circular technologies that can positively impact this sector are discussed. To remain competitive and reduce its environmental impact, the sugarcane industry must embrace technologies for bagasse fractionation and pyrolysis, microalgae cultivation for both CO2 recovery and vinasse treatment, CO2 chemical fixation, energy generation through the anaerobic digestion of vinasse, and genetically improved fermentation yeast strains. Considering the technological maturity, the anaerobic digestion of vinasse emerges as an important solution in the short term. However, the greatest environmental opportunity is to use the pure CO2 from fermentation. The other opportunities still require continued research to reach technological maturity. Intensifying the processes, the exploration of driving-change technologies, and the integration of wastes through biorefinery processes can lead to a more sustainable sugarcane processing industry.

Cellulosic Ethanol: Improving Cost Efficiency by Coupling Semi-Continuous Fermentation and Simultaneous Saccharification Strategies. Processes (Basel) 2020.

Abstract
A novel approach to improve ethanol production from sugarcane bagasse is proposed. Biomass was pretreated with sodium hydroxide, sulfuric, oxalic, and maleic acids (1% w/v) at different temperatures (130–170 °C) and times (10–30 min). The pretreatment with NaOH at 160 °C for 20 min was found to be the most efficient for further enzymatic saccharification. A semi-continuous fermentation system coupled with a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation strategy was used, attaining fermented liquor every 24 h. The amount of enzymes needed for saccharification was optimized, as well as the production time and ethanol concentration. The process occurred with near to complete depletion of glucose, obtaining ethanol concentrations ranging from 8.36 to 10.79% (v/v). The whole system, at bench scale, showed stability over 30 days, and ease of management and control. This strategy may improve cost efficiency in the production of cellulosic ethanol at industrial scale.

Abstract
Numerous transcription factor genes associated with stress response are upregulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown in the presence of inhibitors that result from pretreatment processes to unlock simple sugars from biomass. To determine if overexpression of transcription factors could improve inhibitor tolerance in robust S. cerevisiae environmental isolates as has been demonstrated in S. cerevisiae haploid laboratory strains, transcription factors were overexpressed at three different expression levels in three S. cerevisiae environmental isolates. Overexpression of the YAP1 transcription factor in these isolates did not lead to increased growth rate or reduced lag in growth, and in some cases was detrimental, when grown in the presence of either lignocellulosic hydrolysates or furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural individually. The expressed Yap1p localized correctly and the expression construct improved inhibitor tolerance of a laboratory strain as previously reported, indicating that lack of improvement in the environmental isolates was due to factors other than nonfunctional expression constructs or mis-folded protein. Additional stress-related transcription factors, MSN2, MSN4, HSF1, PDR1, and RPN4, were also overexpressed at three different expression levels and all failed to improve inhibitor tolerance. Transcription factor overexpression alone is unlikely to be a viable route toward increased inhibitor tolerance of robust environmental S. cerevisiae strains.

Microorganisms capable of accumulating lipids in high percentages, known as oleaginous microorganisms, have been widely studied as an alternative for producing oleochemicals and biofuels. Microbial lipid, so-called Single Cell Oil (SCO), production depends on several growth parameters, including the nature of the carbon substrate, which must be efficiently taken up and converted into storage lipid. On the other hand, substrates considered for large scale applications must be abundant and of low acquisition cost. Among others, lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable substrate containing high percentages of assimilable sugars (hexoses and pentoses). However, it is also highly recalcitrant, and therefore it requires specific pretreatments in order to release its assimilable components. The main drawback of lignocellulose pretreatment is the generation of several by-products that can inhibit the microbial metabolism. In this review, we discuss the main aspects related to the cultivation of oleaginous microorganisms using lignocellulosic biomass as substrate, hoping to contribute to the development of a sustainable process for SCO production in the near future.

Xylitol Production: Identification and Comparison of New Producing Yeasts. Microorganisms 2019; 7:microorganisms7110484.

Abstract
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol with five carbons that can be used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. It is industrially produced by chemical route; however, a more economical and environmentally friendly production process is of interest. In this context, this study aimed to select wild yeasts able to produce xylitol and compare their performance in sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate. For this, 960 yeast strains, isolated from soil, wood, and insects have been prospected and selected for the ability to grow on defined medium containing xylose as the sole carbon source. A total of 42 yeasts was selected and their profile of sugar consumption and metabolite production were analyzed in microscale fermentation. The six best xylose-consuming strains were molecularly identified as Meyerozyma spp. The fermentative kinetics comparisons on defined medium and on sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate showed physiological differences among these strains. Production yields vary from YP/S = 0.25 g/g to YP/S = 0.34 g/g in defined medium and from YP/S = 0.41 g/g to YP/S = 0.60 g/g in the hydrolysate. Then, the xylitol production performance of the best xylose-consuming strain obtained in the screening, which was named M. guilliermondii B12, was compared with the previously reported xylitol producing yeasts M. guilliermondii A3, Spathaspora sp. JA1, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus 740 in sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate under oxygen-limited conditions. All the yeasts were able to metabolize xylose, but W. anomalus 740 showed the highest xylitol production yield, reaching a maximum of 0.83 g xylitol/g of xylose in hydrolysate. The screening strategy allowed identification of a new M. guilliermondii strain that efficiently grows in xylose even in hydrolysate with a high content of acetic acid (~6 g/L). In addition, this study reports, for the first time, a high-efficient xylitol producing strain of W. anomalus, which achieved, to the best of our knowledge, one of the highest xylitol production yields in hydrolysate reported in the literature.

Abstract
In this study, utilization of waste cake for bioethanol production via a two-step of enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol fermentation was developed. At the first step, namely waste cake hydrolysis, effects of α-amylase volumes (C1: 0.1 mL/L, C2: 0.4 mL/L, C3, 0.8 mL/L) on the performance of hydrolysis were investigated. Both chemical oxygen demand (COD) and reducing sugar (RS) could reach the highest values after 80 min for all the conditions. The maximum COD of 86.3 g/L, RS of 44 g/L and waste reduction of 85.2% were achieved at C3. At the second step, namely ethanol fermentation, the produced waste cake hydrolysate was used as the sole feedstock for fermentative ethanol production, and the highest ethanol production of 46.6 g/L and ethanol yield of 1.13 g/g RS were obtained (C3), respectively. This corresponds to an overall ethanol yield of 1.12 g ethanol/g initial dry cake which is the highest ethanol yield compared to using other food wastes reported to date. These values are higher than using the glucose as feedstock since the waste cake hydrolysate could provide the carbon and nitrogen sources for ethanol fermentation.

Abstract
Microbial communities that are exposed to sunlight typically share a series of adaptations to deal with the radiation they are exposed to, including efficient DNA repair systems, pigment production and protection against oxidative stress, which makes these environments good candidates for the search of novel antioxidant microorganisms. In this research project, we isolated potential antioxidant pigmented bacteria from a dry and highly-irradiated extreme environment: solar panels. High-throughput in vivo assays using Caenorhabditis elegans as an experimental model demonstrated the high antioxidant and ultraviolet-protection properties of these bacterial isolates that proved to be rich in carotenoids. Our results suggest that solar panels harbor a microbial community that includes strains with potential applications as antioxidants.

Abstract
Background:
Bioethanol derived from lignocellulosic biomass can supplement the ethanol
supplies in a sustainable manner. However, the bioethanol production process is still not cost effective
and researchers are looking for novel strategies like simultaneous saccharification fermentation to cut
down the production cost. Thermotolerant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae JRC6 is reported to improve
the fermentation efficiency under SSF. However, the mechanism of thermotolerance of the
strain is unknown which is important for developing more robust yeast strains for simultaneous saccharification
and fermentation.
Objective:
To identify proteomic changes responsible for imparting thermotolerance by iTRAQ based
profiling of Saccharomyces cerevisiae JRC6 by growing at optimum (30°C) and high temperature (40°C).
Methods: iTRAQ labeling followed by electrospray ionization based tandem mass spectrometry using
SCIEX 5600 Triple-TOF Mass Spectrometer (MS).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lignocellulosic hydrolysates contain a mixture of hexose (C6)/pentose (C5) sugars and pretreatment-generated inhibitors (furans, weak acids and phenolics). Therefore, robust yeast isolates with characteristics of C6/C5 fermentation and tolerance to pretreatment-derived inhibitors are pre-requisite for efficient lignocellulosic material based biorefineries. Moreover, use of thermotolerant yeast isolates will further reduce cooling cost, contamination during fermentation, and required for developing simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SScF), and consolidated bio-processing (CBP) strategies. RESULTS In this study, we evaluated thirty-five yeast isolates (belonging to six genera including Saccharomyces, Kluyveromyces, Candida, Scheffersomyces, Ogatea and Wickerhamomyces) for pretreatment-generated inhibitors {furfural, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) and acetic acid} and thermotolerant phenotypes along with the fermentation performances at 40 °C. Among them, a sugarcane distillery waste isolate, Saccharomyces cerevisiae NGY10 produced maximum 49.77 ± 0.34 g/l and 46.81 ± 21.98 g/l ethanol with the efficiency of 97.39% and 93.54% at 30 °C and 40 °C, respectively, in 24 h using glucose as a carbon source. Furthermore, isolate NGY10 produced 12.25 ± 0.09 g/l and 7.18 ± 0.14 g/l of ethanol with 92.81% and 91.58% efficiency via SHF, and 30.22 g/l and 25.77 g/l ethanol with 86.43% and 73.29% efficiency via SSF using acid- and alkali-pretreated rice straw as carbon sources, respectively, at 40 °C. In addition, isolate NGY10 also produced 92.31 ± 3.39 g/l (11.7% v/v) and 33.66 ± 1.04 g/l (4.26% v/v) ethanol at 40 °C with the yields of 81.49% and 73.87% in the presence of 30% w/v glucose or 4× concentrated acid-pretreated rice straw hydrolysate, respectively. Moreover, isolate NGY10 displayed furfural- (1.5 g/l), 5-HMF (3.0 g/l), acetic acid- (0.2% v/v) and ethanol-(10.0% v/v) tolerant phenotypes. CONCLUSION A sugarcane distillery waste isolate NGY10 demonstrated high potential for ethanol production, C5 metabolic engineering and developing strategies for SSF, SScF and CBP.

Abstract
The burgeoning interest in archaic, traditional, and novel beer styles has coincided with a growing appreciation of the role of yeasts in determining beer character as well as a better understanding of the ecology and biogeography of yeasts. Multiple studies in recent years have highlighted the potential of wild Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts for production of beers with novel flavour profiles and other desirable properties. Yeasts isolated from spontaneously fermented beers as well as from other food systems (wine, bread, and kombucha) have shown promise for brewing application, and there is evidence that such cross-system transfers have occurred naturally in the past. We review here the available literature pertaining to the use of nonconventional yeasts in brewing, with a focus on the origins of these yeasts, including methods of isolation. Practical aspects of utilizing nondomesticated yeasts are discussed, and modern methods to facilitate discovery of yeasts with brewing potential are highlighted.

Abstract
In the context of climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels, there is a great need for alternatives to petroleum in the transport sector. This review provides an overview of the production of second generation bioethanol, which is distinguished from the first generation and subsequent generations of biofuels by its use of lignocellulosic biomass as raw material. The structural components of the lignocellulosic biomass such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, are presented along with technological unit steps including pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, distillation and dehydration. The purpose of the pretreatment step is to increase the surface area of carbohydrate available for enzymatic saccharification, while minimizing the content of inhibitors. Performing the enzymatic hydrolysis releases fermentable sugars, which are converted by microbial catalysts into ethanol. The hydrolysates obtained after the pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis contain a wide spectrum of sugars, predominantly glucose and xylose. Genetically engineered microorganisms are therefore needed to carry out co-fermentation. The excess of harmful inhibitors in the hydrolysate, such as weak organic acids, furan derivatives and phenol components, can be removed by detoxification before fermentation. Effective saccharification further requires using exogenous hemicellulases and cellulolytic enzymes. Conventional species of distiller's yeast are unable to ferment pentoses into ethanol, and only a very few natural microorganisms, including yeast species like Candida shehatae, Pichia (Scheffersomyces) stipitis, and Pachysolen tannophilus, metabolize xylose to ethanol. Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation can be performed in a number of ways: by separate saccharification and fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation or consolidated bioprocessing. Pentose-fermenting microorganisms can be obtained through genetic engineering, by introducing xylose-encoding genes into metabolism of a selected microorganism to optimize its use of xylose accumulated in the hydrolysate.

Abstract
An integrated process for xylooligosaccharides (XOs) and bioethanol production from corncob was investigated. XOs were produced by a consecutive process of KOH treatment and hydrolysis by an in-house thermostable endo-xylanase from Streptomyces thermovulgaris. XO yields of 0.15 g/gKOH-treated corncob (22.13 g/L) and 0.52 g/graw corncob of cellulose-rich corncob (CRC) were obtained. After 96 h of enzymatic hydrolysis, CRC hydrolysate contained 62.16, 51.21, 10.03 and 0.92 g/L of total sugar, glucose, xylose and arabinose, respectively. Bioethanol production by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) using CRC hydrolysate, and by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) using CRC was studied at 40 °C for thermotolerant Candida glabrata. SHF showed an ethanol yield of 0.28 g/gCRC (21.92 g/L) and ethanol productivity of 0.304 g/L/h with 93% theoretical yield. Surprisingly, by SSF, those parameters were 0.27 g/gCRC (31.32 g/L), 0.33 g/L/h and 89%, respectively. This integrated process might be a new cost-effective approach for corncob valorization.
