“…Due to their ease of acquisition and handling, the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis are the most used microorganisms in biomass fermentations, as they have high yields of ethanol rates. Values around 70-80% and higher at converting hexoses can be reached, despite their inactivity with xylose-the main pentose of hemicellulose (Hasner et al, 2015). There are other types of microorganisms popular for being able to ferment hexoses and pentoses, such as Scheffersomyces stipitis and Candida shehatae; however, with limitations such as low consumption of sugars (Mengesha et al, 2022).…”
