Bioethanol has attracted much attention in recent decades as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative energy source. In this study, we compared the production of bioethanol by Candida molischiana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at different initial concentrations of cellobiose and glucose. The results showed that C. molischiana can utilize both glucose and cellobiose, whereas S. cerevisiae can only utilize glucose. The ethanol yields were 43-51% from different initial concentrations of carbon source. In addition, different concentrations of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) were directly converted to ethanol by a combination of Trichoderma reesei and two yeasts. Cellulose was first hydrolyzed by a fully enzymatic saccharification process using T. reesei cellulases, and the reducing sugars and glucose produced during the process were further used as carbon source for bioethanol production by C. molischiana or S. cerevisiae. Sequential culture of T. reesei and two yeasts revealed that C. molischiana was more efficient for bioconversion of sugars to ethanol than S. cerevisiae. When 20 g/l Avicel was used as a carbon source, the maximum reducing sugar, glucose, and ethanol yields were 42%, 26%, and 20%, respectively. The maximum concentrations of reducing sugar, glucose, and ethanol were 10.9, 8.57, and 5.95 g/l, respectively, at 120 h by the combination of T. reesei and C. molischiana from 50 g/l Avicel.

1) 고온성으로 탄화수소를 자화할 수 있는 균체를 생산하는 목적으로 90여점의 시료로부터 세 균주의 효모를 선별하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 2) 선정된 세 균주 효모의 최적생육온도는 4$0^{\circ}C$~45$^{\circ}C$였과. 그리고 이들은 각각 Candida tropicalis (strain A-28), Torulopsis molisichiana (strain B-8) 그리고 Candide krusei (strain C-15)로 각각 동정되었다. 3) 특히 균주 A-28은 tetradecane, hexadecane 과 octadecane을 다같이 쉽게 자화하였고 B-8과 C-15 균주는 다른 n-paraffin 보다 hexadecane을 잘 자화하였다. 4) 선정된 세 균주효모의 세대시간은 3.4.~4.0 시간, 비증식속도는 0.170~0.215이고 그리고 균체수율은 86~98%이였다. 5) 이들 균체의 조단백질은 48.2~61.5%, 지방은 3.7~8.0%, 조섬유는 3.5~4.2%, 회분은 5.6~6.7%, 무질소가용성 물질은 23.5~31.8%였고, thiamine은 0.28~0.93 mg%, riboflavin 6.03~7.3 mg%이었다. 6) 균체단백질의 아미노산조성은 비교적 골고루 함유되었다. 그러나 함황(sulfur containing) amino acid는 극히 적었다.
