Hyperthermal acid hydrolysis pretreatment of Eucheuma denticulatum was carried out using 12% (w/v) seaweed slurry and 90 mM $H_3PO_4$ at $150^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The use of Candida lusitaniae with adaptive evolution was evaluated for ethanol fermentation. The levels of ethanol production by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) at 72 h with non-adapted and adapted C. lusitaniae were 10.1 g/l with ethanol yield ($Y_{EtOH}$) of 0.23, and 18.1 g/l with $Y_{EtOH}$ of 0.45, respectively. Adaptive evolution was employed in this study to improve the efficiency of ethanol fermentation. Development of the SHF process could enhance the overall ethanol fermentation yields of the red seaweed E. denticulatum.

Species Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty, Kappaphycus striatum (Schmitz.) Doty and Eucheuma denticulatum (N. L. Burman) Collins et Harvey, which was brought to Vietnam from Japan in 1993 and Coco island, Martan Sea, Cebu, Philippines in 2005 have been cultivated in the different coasts of South Central Vietnam. Their growth rates and physical properties of carrageenan, then, were analyzed. The obtained results showed that the growth rate of E. denticulatum and K. striatum strains is higher than those of K. alvarezii. Species of K. striatum could grow over wide range of temperature and tolerate more strongly to high temperature compared with K. alvarezii, but their content and gel strength of kappa-carrageenan were almost the same and high. For purpose of the Kappahycus cultivation farms with stable and high production all year round (especially in the seawaters of shallow, semi-closed Lagoons where the water movement is not good and with high temperature in the hot season), mixed cropping of K. alvarezii and K. striatum as seeds stock during different cropping seasons was established. Our results suggested that K. alvarezii and K. striatum could be grown in the cool season (from Oct. to next March) with the same and high content and gel strength of kappa - carrageenan, but in the hot season need to chose K. striatum for cultivation only (from Apr. to Sept.).
