Comparison of Ethanol Yield Coefficients Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida lusitaniae, and Kluyveromyces marxianus Adapted to High Concentrations of Galactose with Gracilaria verrucosa as Substrate.

In this study, 61.0 g/L monosaccharides were obtained from 120.0 g dw/L G. verrucosa. The fermentation inhibitors such as hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), levulinic acid, and formic acid were produced during pretreatment. Activated carbon was used to remove HMF. Wild-type and adaptively evolved Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida lusitaniae, and Kluyveromyces marxianus were used for fermentation to evaluate ethanol production.
