文摘
This work is aimed at a selection of yeast strains suitable for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of waste paper. The waste paper, as a lignocellulosic material, represents an unconventional source for the production of ethanol which is a promising alternative fuel. The yeast strains Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia kudriavzevii produced the highest amounts of ethanol at 30 °C and were also resistant at 40 °C during the first 92 h of fermentation. These two strains were immobilized by entrapment into poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel lens-shaped particles LentiKats®. The immobilized S.cerevisiae was a better ethanol producer and retained higher metabolic activity in repeated batch fermentations than P.kudriavzevii. The immobilized S. cerevisiae was also suitable for a long-term storage, with 23% decrease in the ethanol production ability after 1-year storage of yeast cells.
