Molecular Characterization and Alchohol Tolerance of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Used In Bioethanol Production From Waste Paper
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Sacchaomyces cerevisiea has been widely used in the production of bioethanol from several substrates. This study portrays the molecular characterization and alcohol tolerance of Sacchaomyces cerevisiea used in the production of bioethanol from waste paper. The Sacchaomyces cerevisiea isolate used with ascension number MG584866 was shown to have 99% similarity to its gene bank relative Sacchaomyces cerevisiea with ascension number CP006454. The alcohol tolerance of the Sacchaomyces cerevisiea recorded 100% mortality at 40% alcohol concentration, while 0% mortality was recorded at 0% concentration. The isolate was however able to survive 30% alcohol concentration where 76% mortality was recorded.
