The optimum temperature for fermentation by Saccharomyces uvarum was found to be higher than that for its growth. Fermentation continued at temperatures above the growth maximum (4O'C). S.uvarum was most resistant to growth inhibition by ethanol at temperatures 5'C and 10ยฐC below its growth optimum

โฆ Synopsis
fi;?ct of temperature on the kinetics of ethanol production by Saccharomyces uvarum was investigated in the range 25-43'C. Using a mathematical model and a nonlinear computer simulation package, the kinetic parameters at each temperature were estimated. It was found that the optimal temperature for growth was 34"C, while the specific ethanol production rate was maximal at 37-43ยฐC. up to 37"C, the inhibitory effects of ethanol on growth and specific ethanol production rate were unaffected by temperature. However, above this temperature, ethanol inhibition increased significantly.
