SSCF of steam exploded corn stover was conducted at high solid loading.
A novel industrial xylose-utilizing S. cerevisiae IPE003 was used in SSCF.
Ethanol productivity was 2.6 g/L/h in the use of 60 g/L glucose and 10 g/L xylose.
Ethanol yield and productivity was 75% and 0.63 g/L/h in SSCF at 20% solid loading.
The feeding strategy of SECS addition within 24 h increased the SSCF efficiency.
