Study on the Microbial Conversion of Xylose into Ethanol

摘要

The microbial conversion of agricultural and forestry residues into ethanol continues to be of worldwide interest. One of the key points in the process is the conversion of D-xylose into ethanol. In the study, different strains including Z. mobilis 31821/pZB5 (ZM4/pZB5) Y. stipitis ATCC58376 and A82 were used for xylose fermentation and mixture fermentation of xylose and glucose. Their characters were explored under varied conditions.
