I
n order to industrialize bioethanol based on cellulosic biomass, securing economic efficiency is very important. Until
now, fermentation using glucose converted from cellulose through pretreatment and saccharification process was mainly
performed, resulting in economically lower efficiency. The industrialization of strains capable of metabolizing xylose produced
from cellulosic biomass was insufficient. Recently, an engineered
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
was developed for the effective
bioethanol production. In this study, the yield of ethanol production was investigated using engineered
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
capable of xylose metabolism. The raw materials was pretreated with a twin-screw extrusion reactor under conditions: 0.5 M
NaOH 27 L/h, biomass feeding 4.5 kg/h at 99℃. The production of substrates for the ethanol fermentation was produced 120 g /
L of glucose and 40 g / L of xylose through alkaline pretreatment and saccharifica-tion. In result, 65 g/L of ethanol in 48 h from
Miscanthus
hydrolysate was obtained using engineered
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
capable of xylose metabolism. In conclusion,
the yield of ethanol production was improved 40% from 46 g/L to 65 g/L with same substrate.
