  • Method for preparing xylose-utilizing strain
    Patent number: 8603776
    Abstract: A method for preparing a xylose-utilizing strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae are introduced. The preferred recombinant strain contains multiple copies of integrated xylose metabolic genes, and can rapidly ferment xylose to produce ethanol from synthetic medium and lignocellulosic raw materials. The xylose-utilizing strain is applicable for the cellulosic ethanol production industry and brewing industry.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2013
    Assignee: Institute of Nuclear Energy Research Atomic Energy Council, Executive Yuan
    Inventors: Tien-Yang Ma, Ting-Hsiang Lin, Teng-Chieh Hsu, Chiung-Fang Huang, Gia-Leun Guo, Wen-Song Hwang, Jia-Baau Wang, Yun-Peng Chao, Guan-Lin Yeh

  • Method to Increase the Ethanol Concentration from the Conversion of Lignocellulose
    Publication number: 20110104775
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method for increasing the ethanol concentration from the conversion of lignocellulose. The pretreated solid residues are mixed with ethanol-containing broth from the fermentation of xylose hydrolysate by Pichia stipitis and then are performed under the process of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) with Sacharomyces cerevisiae and cellulase for converting cellulose to ethanol. The final ethanol concentration in broth as well as the ethanol productivity is increased at least 1.8 times in comparison of conventional process for lignocellulosic ethanol production.
