A new laboratory system for continuous fermentation is described. It is well suited for fermenting concentrated substrates such as moderately dilute molasses. A rotating microporous filter, which is annexed to the fermentor vessel, allows the free escape of metabolic products while retaining yeast i

The efficiency of ethanol yield increased from 61% to 88% of the theoretical value as the filling-up time was approached in fed-batch fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Temporary accumulation of ethanol within the yeast cells may explain the above variation.
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Bio‐ethanol production from renewable sources, such as sugar cane, makes it a biofuel that is both renewable and environmentally friendly. One of the strategies to reduce production costs and to make ethanol fuel economically competitive with fossil fuels could be the us
