“…The metabolism of C. thermolacticum was thus linked to the growth rate or phase: acetate and ethanol were strictly growth-dependent, whereas lactate was not. Similar results have been reported for C. cellulolyticum growing on cellobiose (Payot et al 1999) and for C. thermohydrosulfuricum on starch (Heitmann et al 1996).…”

“…The α-amylase of G. thermoleovorans was decreased when the cells entered into the stationary phase; this could be due to increasing lysis of the cells, depletion of nutrients after vigorous growth, or due to production of other biocatalysts such as acidic proteases [fall of pH from neutral (7.0) to acidic (4.5)] and xylanase, as observed in Bacillus coagulans [12]. Lactic acid was detected as a by-product in the fermentation broth of G. thermoleovorans, but ethanol was not detected as observed in Thermoanaerobacter thermohydrosulfuricus by Heitmann et al [34]. The production of ethanol and acetic acid had been reported by Antranikian [35] from Clostridium sp.…”

“…To operate the fermentation process effectively and efficiently, kinetic modeling of cell growth and ethanol fermentation is necessary to predict the results of industrial fermentations under optimized conditions . Kinetic modeling of ethanol fermentation is important to understand metabolic processes, to estimate process parameters and their influence on cell growth and product utilization, in the scale‐up of the process and the control of bioreactors .…”

“…Thermophilic/thermotolerant microorganisms and thermostable enzymes are of great scientific interest, principally with regard to their potential industrial applications due to their stability at high temperatures . Thermophiles have distinct advantages over mesophiles for ethanol production in terms of increased solubility of substrates, improved mass transfer due to decreased viscosity, increased diffusion rates, high bioconversion rates, ability to use a variety of inexpensive biomass feed‐stocks, low risk of contamination, and facilitated product recovery …”
