✦ Synopsis
It has previously been demonstrated that the thermotolerant yeast strain, K. marxianus IMB3 is capable of growth and ethanol production on lactose containing media at 45°C.
Although the organism is capable of producing a ~-galactosidase, that enzyme has been shown to be extremely thermolabile at 45°C and this has been reflected in reduced efficiencies with respect to conversion of lastose to e~hanol.

We report-the partial characterization of a 13-glucosidase produced during growth of the thermotolerant yeast, K. marxianus IMB3 on lactose-containing media at 45°C. The enzyme had Km values of 1.1mM and 14.SmM fbr the substrates p-nitrophenyl-13-D-glucoside and ceilobiose, respectively. The enzyme
Here we report on the effects of phosphoric acid pretreated cellulose as a substrate for ethanol production by K. marxianus IMB3 using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation systems at 45°C. With untreated, milled filter paper as substrate the maximum amount of ethanol produced was 25% of th
