  • IMPROVED FERMENTING ORGANISM FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20230332188
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for producing ethanol comprising saccharifying cellulosic or starch-containing material and fermenting the saccharified material with a fermenting microorganism to produce ethanol. The fermenting organism is Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain MBG5151 (deposited under Accession No. Y-67971 at the Agricultural Research Service Culture Collection (NRRL), Illinois 61604 U.S.A.), Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain MBG5248 (deposited under Accession No. Y-68015 at the Agricultural Research Service Culture Collection (NRRL), Illinois 61604 U.S.A.) or a fermenting organism that has properties that the same or about the same as that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MBG5151 or MBG5248.

  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF AN ENZYMATIC PREPARATION FOR HYDROLYSIS OF CELLULOSE FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC RESIDUES AND APPLICATION THEREOF IN THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL
    Publication number: 20110250652
    Abstract: The process of the present invention is based on the microbial production of enzymes from the growth of the fungus Penicillium funiculosum in a suitable culture medium with a cellulosic substrate. The process of the invention comprises in particular the fermentative treatment of a lignocellulosic substrate by means of a specially adapted fungus, for obtaining an enzymatic preparation capable of hydrolysing cellulose and hemicellulose for the production of ethanol.
