Cotton을 효모 세포($Pichia$ $stipitis$)의 고정화 담체로 사용하기 위하여 2-(diethylamino)ethyl chloride hydrochloride (DEAE HCl)로 derivatization 시켰다. 0.5 M DEAE HCl로 처리하였을 때, 효모 세포가 완전히 흡착하였으며, 이것은 DEAE-cotton g 당 101.8 mg의 효모 세포가 흡착하는 것이고, DEAE-cellulose에 효모 세포가 흡착하는 양의 약 6배 이상인 것으로 확인되었다. DEAE-cotton을 이용하여 효모 세포를 고정화하고, 이것을 ethanol 생산에 이용하였을 경우, glucose와 xylose가 포함된 배지에서 단당류에 대한 ethanol 수율로 0.33 정도로 ethanol을 생산 할 수 있다는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 이를 이용하여 lignocellulosic bomass의 가수분해물로부터 bioethanol 생산에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되어진다. DEAE-cotton에서 얻어진 결과는 DEAE-cellulose에서 같은 실험을 실시하여 서로 비교 분석하였다.

We established a two-step production process using immobilized S. cerevisiae and P. stipitis yeast to produce ethanol from seaweed (U. pertusa Kjellman) hydrolysate. The process was designed to completely consume both glucose and xylose. In particular, the yeasts were immobilized using DEAE-corncob and DEAE-cotton, respectively. The first step of the process included a continuous column reactor using immobilized S. cerevisiae, and the second step included a repeated-batch reactor using immobilized P. stipitis. It was verified that the glucose and xylose in 20 L of medium containing the U. pertusa Kjellman hydrolysate was converted completely to about 5.0 g/l ethanol through the two-step process, in which the overall ethanol yield from total reducing sugar was 0.37 and the volumetric ethanol productivity was 0.126 g/l/h. The volumetric ethanol productivity of the two-step process was about 2.7 times greater than that when P. stipitis was used alone for ethanol production from U. pertusa Kjellman hydrolysate. In addition, the overall ethanol yield from glucose and xylose was superior to that when P. stipitis was used alone for ethanol production. This two-step process will not only contribute to the development of an integrated process for ethanol production from glucose-and xylose-containing biomass hydrolysates, but could also be used as an alternative method for ethanol production.
