✦ Synopsis
Hexose and pentose sugars, produced by hydrogen-fluoride solvolysis of aspen wood chips, were totally consumed in a coculture fermentation by Zymomonas mobilis and a mutant of Clostridium saccharolyticum.
Z. mobilis converted the glucose to ethanol, while the mutant, which was im$ow both ethanol production and tolerance, converted the xylose component to ethanol.
A high conversion efficiency of wood sugars to ethanol was obtained, and the cells after the fermentation were successfully used for cell recycle.
