Abstract
The xylose in an enzymatic hydrolysate of steam-exploded rice straw wa
s not consumed by Pichia stipitis until the glucose was almost exhaust
ed. A diauxic lag of 2 to 3 h in both cell growth and ethanol producti
on occurred as metabolism switched from glucose to xylose utilization,
Ethanol production was maximal [6 g ethano/l from 15 g reducing sugar
s/l (78% theoretical yield)] at an aeration rate of 0.2 vol/vol.min.
