Ethanol Production from Glycerol by the YeastPachysolen tannophilusImmobilized on Celite during Repeated-Batch Flask Culture

Abstract: We investigated a novel process for production of ethanol from glycerol using the yeast Pachysolen tannophilus. After optimization of the fermentation medium, repeated-batch flask culture was performed over a period of 378 hr using yeast cells immobilized on Celite. Our results indicated that the use of Celite for immobilization of P. tannophilus was a practical approach for ethanol production from glycerol, and should be suitable for industrial ethanol production.

“…The concentration of cells in the fermenter can be increased by a repeat batch system. Some advantages of the repeated batch fermentation configuration have been reported, including: improved cell adaptation, elimination of the lag phase, and process cost efficiency [12,13]. Sakai et al [14] reported an increase in ethanol in the CO2/H2 gas fermentation process by algae Morella sp.…”

“…The xylitol‐producing strain exhibited low activities of XDH, XR with preferential affinity to NADPH/NAD + dependent malate dehydrogenase, and cytochrome c oxidase. In another instance, Cha et al (2014) investigated a repeated‐batch approach for ethanol production by Celite immobilized P. tannophilus from glycerol involving the activities of mitochondria electron transport chain under limited and controlled aeration conditions. 6.2 and 5.8 g/L maximum ethanol concentration were obtained for un‐immobilized and immobilized cells respectively which were low compared to the findings of Liu, Jensen, and Workman (2012) who obtained 28.1 g/L using crude glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel transesterification as the substrate for the un‐immobilized P. tannophilus fermentation.…”

“…Ethanol has a lower exhaust emission toxicity level when compared to that of petroleum (Matsushika et al 2009 ). Currently, nearly 80% of industrial ethanol is produced via fermentation process (Shafaghat et al 2011 ; Cha et al 2014 ). Cell immobilization technology, is one useful technique that can be used to efficiently improve ethanol production by maintaining proper mass transfer and biological metabolic activity via the localization of intact cells to a defined region of space and preservation of catalytic activity for further biochemical process.…”
