To develop thermostable ethanol fermentative yeast strain for lignocellulosic simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, high ethanol producing yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHY1012 and thermostable yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus CHY1703 were fused by protoplast fusion. The thermostable fusant, CHY1612 was identified as a Kluyveromyces marxianus by phenotypic and physiological characteristics, as well as molecular analysis based on the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (26S) rDNA gene and the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 + 2 regions. For lignocellulosic ethanol production, AFEX pretreated barley straw at $150^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was used in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using thermotolerant CHY1612. The SSF from 16% pretreated barley straw at $43^{\circ}C$ gave a saccharification ratio of 90.5%, a final ethanol concentration of 38.5 g/L, and a theoretical yield of 91.2%. These results show that K. marxianus CHY1612 has potential for lignocellulosic ethanol production through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with further development of process.

Because beverage waste contains a lot of sugar, it can be used as a valuable resource for energy. But beverage waste is discharged through the water treatment. To prevent the waste of the energy resource, we produced bioethanol by using beverage waste in this study. In order to produce bioethanol, we added distillers stillage and NaOH for fermentation condition (nutrients and pH adjustment). As a results, ethanol concentration was 5.92 vol%. In contrast, ethanol concentration of blank (not added nutrients) was low and fermentation rate was very slow. Because components of the distillers stillage help the yeast growth, fermentation yield and rate was improved. Finally, we operated distillation and dehydration process by using fermented mash and produced fuel bioethanol (more than 99.5 wt%). We think that this results may provide useful information with application of commercial ethanol production using beverage waste.

Two strains of yeast (RA-74-2 and RA-912) showing superior fermenting ability at a high temperature were isolated from soils and wastewaters by an enrichment culture method. Based on the morphological and physiological charateristics, the two strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus, respectively. RA-74-2 was able to grow upto $43^{\circ}C$ and sustain similar fermenting ability in the temperatures range from 30 to $40^{\circ}C$. In addition, the sugar- and ethanol-tolerance of RA-74-2 were 30% (w/v) glucose and 10% (v/v) ethanol, which appeared to be higher than those of nine other industrial yeast strains currently being used in the alcohol factories. The thermotolerant ethanol fermenting yeast RA-912 showed identical growth in the temperatures range from 35 to $45^{\circ}C$ and was resistant to various heavy metals. The quality and quantity of byproducts of the isolated yeast strains in fermentation broth after fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$ were similiar with those obtained at $30^{\circ}C$. These results show that RA-74-2 can be adopted for the ethanol fermentation process where the expenses for cooling system is significant, and suggest that RA-912 may be applied in either SSF(simultaneous saccharification and fermentation) or Flash-fermentation process and RA-912 may be used as a gene donor for the development of thermotolerant ethanol-fermenting yeasts.

The fermenting conditions for acetic acid production with Acetobacter sp. FM-10 which could grow in the medium containing 10% ehtanol were investigated. Initial concentration of acetic acid in broth medium affected greatly to the fermentation speed. For example , the acetic acid production increased proportionally by the increasing of initial concentration was higher that 1.0%. When the cultivation was started with broth medium containing 5% ethanol, the additional adding ethanol during the fermentation was not significantly increased the acidity of the medium. The acidity of the medium containing 10% ethanol was reached to 8.3% after shaking than static cultivation by about 10 days with 150 rpm shaking speed. Acetic acid production with shaking cultivation was faster the static cultivation by abot 10 days under the same condition except shaking. In acetic acid fermentation with the batch style fermentor , the optimum fermentation condition was 700 rpm of agitation speed and 5L/min air flow rate in 3L culture medium .

Saccharomyces cerevosiae STV89와 Kluyveromyces fragilis CBS 397을 이용한 알콜발효에서 발효온도에 따른 세포내 에탄올 농도와 지방산 함량비율을 분석하여 효모의 에탄올 내성에 영향을 이치는 요인을 밝히고져 하였다. 실험결과 두 균주 모두 발효온도가 낮을수록 최대 세포내 에탄올 농도는 감소한 반면, 불포화지방산 중에서 oleic acid와 linoleic acid의 함량은 증가하였다. 따라서 세포내 에탄올 축적이 감소하면 세포막의 불포화지방산 함량이 증가하여 세포로 부터의 에탄올 확산이 촉진되기 때문에 효모의 에탄올에 대한 내성이 증가되는 것으로 추정된다.

To isolate yeast strains producing high concentration of ethanol, 125 strains were subjected to screening. Initially 14 strains able to grow in a medium containing 15%(v/v) ethanol, 7 strains capable of growing in a medium containing 50%(v/v) glucose, 23 strains having relatively fast fermentation rates, 13 strains able to grow at $42^{\circ}C$ were selected. After secondary screening, 11 strains having relatively high ini-tial fermentation rate and producing high concentration of ethanol were selected. After tertiary screening 5 strains producing high concentration of ethanol were selected. These 5 strains were again for their ethanol produc-tion, residual sugar, and viability using fermentation medium containing 25% glucose. The strain producing the highest concentration of ethanol was 20-1 strain which produced 10.56%(v/v) ethanol in 4 days, and the highest viable strain was 11-1 which produced 10.35%(v/v) ethanol(13.1%. v/v) with the viability of 30.44% after 5 days of fermentation. Both of the 20-1 and 11-1 strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The waste seaweed from Gwangalli beach, Busan, Korea was utilized as biomass for ethanol production. Sagassum fulvellum (brown seaweed, Mojaban in Korean name) comprised 72% of the biomass. The optimal hyper thermal acid hydrolysis conditions were obtained as 8% slurry contents, 138 mM sulfuric acid, and $160^{\circ}C$ of treatment temperature for 10 min with a low content of inhibitory compounds. To obtain more monosaccharides, enzymatic saccharification was carried out with Viscozyme L for 48 h. After pretreatment, 34 g/l of monosaccharides were obtained. Pichia stipitis and Pichia angophorae were selected as optimal co-fermentation yeasts to convert all of the monosaccharides in the hydrolysate to ethanol. Co-fermentation was carried out with various inoculum ratios of P. stipitis and P. angophorae. The maximum ethanol concentration of 16.0 g/l was produced using P. stipitis and P. angophorae in a 3:1 inoculum ratio, with an ethanol yield of 0.47 in 72 h. Ethanol fermentation using yeast co-culture may offer an efficient disposal method for waste seaweed while enhancing the utilization of monosaccharides and production of ethanol.

Application of pervaporative extraction of ethanol to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) of cellulose was investigated. From batch experiments, optimum cellulose substrate and enzyme loadings were found to be 10% and 15 IFPU/g cellulose, respectively. The cellulose conversion was lowered in fed-batch system due to the ethanol accumulation. The activity of the yeast Saccharomyces uvarum used in this study was significantly reduced at ethanol concentrations above around 40 g/L. From pervaporation experiments using PDMS membrane, ethanol was efficiently separated at 38$^\circ C$ and 10 mmHg of a down stream pressure. The pervaporation unit with 240 cm$^2$ of surface area was combined into the SSF reactor. The continuous removal of ethanol by pervaporation during SSF resulted in an improved cellulose conversion. Within the scope of this experiment, ethanol yields in the pervaporative SSF and simple SSF were 68.3% and 56.6%, respectively. The permeate flux for SSF broth pervaporation was about one-half that for the pervaporation of aqueous ethanol solution. Accordingly, the development of a membrane with higher ethanol selectivity and flux will increase the feasibility of this technology.
