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.

This experiment carried out to obtain the thermophilic yeast, suitable for ethanol fermentation, and two usable strain were isolated. And microbial characteristics of these strains were investigated, and ethanol fermentation tested. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The selected yeasts were identified D-71 with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and J-515 with Saccharomyces fermentati. 2. The strains D-71 and J-515 were showed the highest ethanol fermentation activity in the crushed corn mash of high concentration at $35^{\circ}C$, and showed the slightly lower at $40^{\circ}C$ than in the case of $35^{\circ}C$. 3. The strains D-71 and J-515 were showed the very higher ethanol fermentation activity than that of compared strain at $35^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$, and at these temperature, fermentation period was a little bit of short. 4. On fermentation test using D-71 and J-515, the residual total sugar in the mash was very lower at $35^{\circ}C$.

To enhance the hyperproductive and low energy-consuming ethanol fermentation rate, the thermotolerant yeast S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells were immobilized. An efficient immobilization condition was proved to be $1.5{\%}$ (w/v) alginate solution, neutral pH and 20 h activation of beads. The fermentation characteristics and stability at various temperatures were examined as compared with free S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells. The immobilized cells had excellent fermentation rate at the range of pH 3-7 at 30-$42^{\circ}C$ in 15-$20{\%}$ glucose media. When the seed volume was adjusted to 0.12 (v/v) (6ml bead/50 ml medium), $11{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol was produced during the first 34 hand $12.15{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol [$95{\%}$ (w/v) of theoretical yield] during the first 60 h in $25{\%}$ glucose medium. In repetitive fermentation using a 2 litre fermentor, 5.79-$7.27{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol [76-$95{\%}$ (w/v) of theoretical yield] was produced during the 40-55 h in $15{\%}$ glucose media. These data suggested the fact that alginate beads of thermotolerant S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells would contribute to economic and hyperproductive ethanol fermentation at high temperature.

Glucose와 lactose를 이용한 알콜발효에서 Sacchar-omyces cerevisine STV89와 Kluyveromyces fragilis CBS397의 에탄올 내성에 대한 발효온도의 영향에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 최대 비성장 속도와 에탄올 생성 속도는 발효온도에 따라 35$^{\circ}C$까지 증가하였으나 최대 cell 농도와 에탄올 농도는 발효온도 증가에 따라 감소하였다. Cell viability도 역시 발효온도가 낮을수록 향상되었다. 따라서 수행한 실험조건에서 효모의 에탄올 내성은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 가장 우수하였다. 균주의 비교에서 에탄올에 대한 내성이 S. cerevisiae가 K.fragilis보다 동일한 실험조건에서는 더 우수하였으며, 탄소원의 종류에 대한 비교에서 K. fragilis의 에탄올에 할 때보다 더 우수하였다.

Transformant TSD-14와 C. tropicalis간의 이속 간 융합체인 FSC-14-75의 산업적 이용가능성을 검토하기 위하여 mini-jar fermentor(working volume=2.5liters)를 사용하여 ethanol 발효의 최적조건 및 ethanol productivity를 조사하였다. Thermamyl(u-amylase, Novo Co.)로서 액화시킨 liquefied potato starch를 15%, 20%, 25% 농도로서 발효를 한 경우 총당에 대해 약 80%의 발효율을 나타내었으며 이는 yeast extract의 첨가에 의해 향상되었다. Ethanol 발효조건으로는 pH 4.2가 pH 5.5에 비해 효과적이었으며, seed volume을 공업적 수준인 10%로 하면 4일만에 20%의 liquefied potato starch로부터 11.0%(v/v)의 ethanol을 생성하여 현재의 공업적 사용균주의 성적에 필적할만 하였다. 또한 본 균주는 현재의 공업적 ethanol 발효생산에서 발효기질로 실제 이응하고 있는 Cassava starch 혹은 barley 및 sweet potato starch 등을 원료로 하였을 때도 8.5%(v/v) 및 7.6%(v/v)의 ethanol을 직접적으로 발효 생산하였으며, 한편 이와 같은 raw starch를 원료로 할 경우는 yeast extract를 첨가하지 않아도 무방하여 이상의 결과로 본 효모균주는 당화, 발효를 동시에 찰 수 있는 효모로서 공업적 이용이 가능할 것으로 기대되었다.

In order to construct a yeast strain having high ethanol tolerance together with good lactose fermentation ability, the protoplast fusion using Saccharomyces cerevisiae STV 89 and Kluyveromyces fragilis CBS 397 was carried out. Auxotrophic mutants of K. fragilis were obtained as a selection marker by treatment of ethylmethane sulfonate. The best mutant for protoplast fusion was selected based on the capabilities of ${\beta}-galactosidase$ production and lactose fermentation. The protoplast fusion using polyethylene glycol and calcium chloride solution led to the fusion frequence of $3{\times}10^{-6}$ and a number of fusants were obtained. Among these fusants, a fusant F-3-19 showed the best results in terms of ethanol tolerance, ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity and lactose fermentation. The performance of lactose fermentation and ethanol tolerance by this fusant were better than those of K. fragilis. Study on the ethanol tolerance having relation to fatty acid composition and intracellular ethanol concentration revealed that the fusant F-3-19 had a higher unsaturated fatty acids content and accumulated less amount of intracellular ethanol compared with a parent of K. fragilis.

증자하지 않은 cassava 생전분의 ethanol 발효생산을 위한 동시당화 -발효의 최적조건을 검토하였다. 생전분의 분해력이 가장 좋은 당화효소의 선별에서는 Asp. shirousami27이 가장 좋았으며 발효효모는 균주에 따라 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 동시당화-발효는 pH3.6에서 가장 높았으며 발효전 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 당화효소에 의한 전당화와 발효시 교반등이 발효속도 및 발효율에 효과가 있었고, 분쇄처리도 효과가 있었다. cassava 생전분의 동시당화-발효에서 5일간의 긴 발효 기간을 요구하는데 발효중 발효액의 성분 조사 결과 중간물인 glucoserk 축적되지 않는 것으로 당화과정이 속도결정단계임을 알 수 있다.

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.

Ethanol fermentations were carried out using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) and separated hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) processes with monosaccharides from seaweed, Saccharina japonica (sea tangle, Dasima) as the biomass. The pretreatment was carried out by thermal acid hydrolysis with $H_2SO_4$ or HCl. Optimal pretreatment condition was determined at 10% (w/v) seaweed slurry with 37.5 mM $H_2SO_4$ at $121^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. To increase the yield of saccharfication, isolated marine bacteria Bacillus sp. JS-1 was used and 48 g/L of reducing sugar were produced. Ethanol fermentation was performed using SSF and SHF process with Pachysolen tannophilus KCTC 7937. The ethanol concentration was 6.5 g/L by SSF and 6.0 g/L by SHF.
