Sucrose Fermentation by Brazilian Ethanol Production Yeasts in Media Containing Structurally Complex Nitrogen Sources

Abstract: Four Saccharomyces cerevisiae Brazilian industrial ethanol production strains were grown, under shaken and static conditions, in media containing 22% (w/v) sucrose supplemented with nitrogen sources varying from a single ammonium salt (ammonium sulfate) to free amino acids (casamino acids) and peptides (peptone). Sucrose fermentations by Brazilian industrial ethanol production yeasts strains were strongly affected by both the structural complexity of the nitrogen source and the availability of oxygen.

“…The optimum pH for S. cerevisiae LN1 in the present study was found to be 5.0 on minimal media with 5 % glucose (w/v). These results are in accordance with a study by Júnior et al (2009). In the present investigation, maximum ethanol concentration was achieved at temperature 30°C.…”

“…Supplementation of the medium with the nitrogen source available and amino acids has also been applied to improve ethanol recovery [27]. Alternatively, the use of inoculum with high cell density has been mentioned as a good option for the supplementation of the fermentative medium [28].…”

“…In previous work, we have shown that, in general, the supplementation of the yeast growth media, containing sucrose, maltose, glucose or fructose, with a more complex structural nitrogen source such as peptone, induced higher biomass accumulation and ethanol production (5,(12)(13)(14). Studies with wine yeasts have also shown the effect of oxygen availability on a yeast's fermentation performance (5). In this work, we continue the study with three Brazilian fuel ethanol commercial strains under very high gravity sucrose fermentation conditions, supplemented with nitrogen sources with differing levels of structural complexity.…”

“…Saccharomyces cerevisiae is known to be glucophilic (2), and despite fructose being concomitantly used with glucose, fructose is always the sugar left in the later stages of wine fermentations (2). The discrepancy between glucose and fructose consumption is not a fixed parameter, and it has been shown that the preference for glucose over fructose varies amongst strains and is dependent on the yeast's genetic background and on the external conditions (3)(4)(5). Selection of industrial strains for the brewing, baking, wine and distilling industries must always consider their capability to rapidly and completely utilize the fermentable carbohydrates present (6,7).…”
