## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Bioethanol produced from renewable biomass, such as corn meal, is a biofuel that is both renewable and environmentally friendly. Significant scientific and technological investments will be needed to achieve substitution of conventional fossil fuels with alternative fuel
Three hypotheses on the mechanism of aerobic oxidation of pyruvic acid are available at present, namely, (1) the acid is oxidized directly to aleetic acid and carbon dioxide with the aid of "a-keto-oxidase" (Barron and Miller, '32) : (2) The acid is first converted into acetaldehyde by the action o
