당밀로부터 ethanol을 생산하기 위한 균체순환식 연속발효를 실시하였다. 균주는 Saccharomyces uvarum ATCC 26602를 사용 하였으며 발효온도는 35$^{\circ}C$였다. 발효중 ethanol에 의한 저해를 줄이기 위하여 이단계발효를 시행하였는데, 첫번째 단계에서 공기는 0.12vvm으로 공급하였고 두번째 단계에서는 혐기적상태로 발효를 진행하였다. 당농도를 14%로 희석했을 때 다른 무기물을 추가하지 않아도 ethanol 발효가 진행되었으며 단지 균체증식이 목적일 때는 phosphorus 첨가가 필요하였다. 균체순환식 연속발효로 14%의 당을 함유한 당밀희석액을 발효시키는데 14.5 시간이 소요되었다. 이때의 최종 ethanol 농도는 8.4~9.0%(v/v)로서 ethanol 생산비율은 이론식의 88.1~94.4% 이었다.

Using a flocculating Saccharomyes cerevisiae CA-1, an air-lift reactor equipped with a modified settler was used for ethanol fermentation. The effects of conditions such as aeration rate, initial glucose concentration, and dilution rate were studied using the air-lift reactor. In batch fermentation, optimum aeration rate was 0.5 vvm. In continuous fermentation, aeration rate and initial pH were fixed 0.5 vvm and 4.5, substrate concentration and dillution rate were changed 10-15% and 0.1-1.3. The maximum ethanol productivity was shown to be 20.4 g/l$\cdot $h in 10% glucose and 0.7 h$^{-1}$ dilution rate., and optimum operation condition considering the ethanol productivity and glucose utilization ratio was 0.5 h$^{-1}$ dilution rate in 10% glucose concentration.

In this study, yeast cell immobilization was carried out in a packed bed reactor (PBR) to investigate the effects of the volumetric capacity of carriers as well as the different fermentation modes on fuel ethanol production. An optimal volumetric capacity of 10 g/l was found to obtain a high cell concentration. The productivity of immobilized cell fermentation was 16% higher than that of suspended-cell fermentation in batch and it reached a higher value of 4.28 g/l/h in repeated batches. Additionally, using this method, the ethanol yield (95.88%) was found to be higher than that of other tested methods due to low concentrations of residual sugars and free cells. Continuous ethanol production using four bioreactors showed a higher productivity (9.57 g/l/h) and yield (96.96%) with an ethanol concentration of 104.65 g/l obtained from 219.42 g/l of initial total sugar at a dilution rate of 0.092 h^-1. Furthermore, we reversed the substrate-feed flow directions in the in-series bioreactors to keep the cells at their highest activity and to extend the length of continuous fermentation. Our study demonstrates an effective method of ethanol production with a new immobilized approach, and that by switching the flow directions, traditional continuous fermentation can be greatly improved, which could have practical and broad implications in industrial applications.

To produce ethanol from Jerusalem artichoke powder efficiently, Kluyveromyces marxianus F043 cells were encapsulated in 2% sodium alginate and were cultured in a countinuous reactor to investigate the fermentation properties. Immobilized K. marxianus F043 cells were activated for 48 hours in a fermentor for continuous ethanol production. The culture in a CSTR using a Jerusalem artichoke substrate treated with 2% cellulase showed a decrease in ethanol concentration and an increase in residual saccharide concentration with a increasing dilution rate. Optimum conditions for high ethanol productivity and low residual saccharide output were clarified to be given at a dilution rate of 0.2 h$^{-1}$ and a Jerusalem artichoke medium concentration of 75 g/l. Ethanol productivity of 3.1 g/l-h and saccharide utilization of 62.6% were obtained under the optimum condition. When the fermentation was performed for 3 weeks under these conditions, the effluent medium showed stable ethanol concentrations of 16.3 - 17.9 g/l and viable cells of 6.60-7.16 log cells/ml without contamination. Trace amounts of methyl, n-propyl, iso-butyl, isoamyl alcohols besides ethanol were detected.

에탄올의 발효 생산성을 높이기 위해서는 발효조의 균체농도를 높여 고농도의 배양을 해야하며 또한 에탄올에 의한 저해 작용을 감소시켜 비생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 발효액 중에 축적되는 에탄올을 배출 시킬 필요가 있다. 이와 같은 목적으로 본 연구에서는 고분자 hollow fiber membrane, ceramic filter를 이용하여 가장 중요한 조작 변수인 희석율과 bleed stream ratio가 에탄올 생산성에 미치는 영향 및 조작의 문제점과 장기 조업 가능성을 검토하였다.

We investigated the possibility of industrial application and economit process of high temperature fermentation by thermotolerant alcohol producing yeasts as previously reported. From the 20% glucose media, the RA-74-2 produced 11.8% (v/v) ethanol at $32^{\circ}C$ (0.5% inoculum) and 10.6% (v/v) ethanol at $40^{\circ}C$ (3% inoculum), respectively. Also, 11.3% (v/v) ethanol was produced for 96 hours in the temperature-gradient fermentation. These results suggest that the RA-74-2 could isuccessfully be applied to save the cooling water and energy in industrial scale without re-investment or modification of established fermentation systems. When potato starch was used as the substrate for the RA-74-2, high temperature fermentation above $40^{\circ}C$ was more appropriate for industrial utilization because organic nitrogen was not necessary to economical fermentation. As the naked barley media just prior to industrial inoculation, taken from the Poongkuk alcohol industry Co., were used, 9.6% (v/v) ethanol was produced at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours in jar-fermentor scale (actually, 9.5-9.8% (v/v) ethanol was produced at 30~$32^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours in industrial scale). The ethanol productivity was increased by the high glucoamylase activity as well as the high metabolic ratio at $40^{\circ}C$ Therefore, if the thermotolerant yeast RA-74-2 would be used in industrial scale, we could obtain a high productivity and saving of the cooling water and energy. Meanwhile, the RA-912 produced 6%(v/v) ethanol in 10% glucose media at $45^{\circ}C$ and showed the less ethanol-tolerance compared with industrial strains. As the produced alcohol was recovered by the vacuum evaporator at $45^{\circ}C$ in 15% glucose media, the final fermentation ratio was enhanced (76% of theoretical yields). This suggest that a hyperproductive process could be achieved by a continuous input of the substrate and continuous recovery of the product under vacuum in high cell-density culture.

Saccharomyces formosensis를 wood chip과 alginate gel에 고정화 실험을 한 결과, 모두 효모 고 정화도 매우 높으므로 고정화를 인한 Support로서 적절한 것으로 판단되었다. 관형발효기에 효모를 고 정화한 wood chip 및 alginate gel를 충전하여 연속발효 실험을 수행한 경우 0.446-0.485g EtOH/ g glucose로서 비슷하였으나, cell 수율은 alginate gel의 경우가 wood chip의 경우보다 낮아서 down stream의 처리시 유리하였다. 관형발효기의 에탄을 생산성은 wood chip을 이용할 경우 정상상태에서 에탄을 농도 68.3-54.9g/$\ell$ 범위에서 17.1-32.6g EtOH/$\ell$.hr를 나타내었고, alginate gel을 이용할 경우 정상상태에서 에탄올 농도 80.0-56.8g/$\ell$범위에서 에탄올 생산성은 20.0-32.0g EtOH/ hr를 얻었다. 본 실험의 에탄올 생산성은 다른 고정화법에 비하여 높았으며, 고정화 방법 중 alginate gel을 이용한 고정화법은 에탄을 생산을 위하여 효과적인 에탄을 생산 방법으로 사료되었다.
