Abstract
Ethanol fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae was carried out in a bioreactor equipped with a sintered stainless steel filter to obtain a high cell density as well as a high productivity. With a 100 g gluc ose/l feed, the maximum yeast concentration was 208 g/L similar to tha t obtained in external membrane cell recycle cultures. However, with t apioca hydrolysates, treated with activated carbon column, the yeast c oncentration attained was 42g/L.
