The specific rate of ethanol production was higher with mixtures of glucose and xylose (0.64-0.83 g g−1 cells d−1) compared to that with individual sugars (0.38-0.58 g g−1 cells d−1). Although the optimum temperature for growth was 30°C, this strain grew and produced appreciable levels of ethanol at 45°C. A stable ethanol yield (0.40-0.43 g g−1 substrate utilized) was obtained between 10 g L−1 and 80 g L−1 of initial xylose concentration. Conversion efficiency was further improved by immobilization of the cells in calcium alginate beads. Free or immobilized cells ofC. shehatae NCL-3501 efficiently utilized sugars present in rice straw hemicellulose hydrolysate, prepared by two different methods, within 48 h. Ethanol yields of 0.45 g g−1 and 0.5 g g−1 from autohydrolysate, and 0.37 g g−1 from acid hydrolysate were produced by free and immobilized cells, respectively.
