The influence of pH and medium composition on the production of ethanol by Zymomonas mobilis was investigated with fructose as substrate. The kinetic properties of the strain on fructose were as good as on glucose and pH 5.0 was found optimum. A mineral medium contaioing calcium pantothenate was des

The inclusion of specific salts in Zymomonas mobilis batch sucrose fermentations can limit by-product formation. Sorbitol and fructo-oligosaccharide formation can be reduced and ethanol production enhanced by manipulating mineral salt concentrations. Chloride salts reduced the production of biomass
Two strains of Z.mobilis were evaluated for temperature sensitivity between 25oc and 40Β°~ higher temperatures the cell viability, biomass yield, ethanol yield and final ethanol concentration decreased, and there was evidence of increased ethanol inhibition. However the kinetic parameters ~, qs and
Zymomonas mobilis, strain ATCC 10988, was used to evaluate the effects of pH (5.0 to 8.0), temperature (30Β°C to 40Β°C), and initial glucose concentration(75 g/C to 150 g/6) on the kinetics of ethanol production from glucose using batch fermentation. Specific ethanol production rate was maximum and ne
Zeolite NaY at 5 g dm~3 concentration, was selected to improve the production of ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces bayanus from high glucose concentration media. The highest ethanol productivity (3Γ07 g dm~3 h~1) was obtained from a 220 g dm~3 initial glucose concentration, while the highest eth
