RESUMEN

The performance of an innovative two-stage continuous bioreactor with cell recycle-potentially capable of giving very high ethanol productivity-was investigated. The first stage was dedicated to cell growth, whereas the second stage was dedicated to ethanol production. A high cell density was obtained by an ultrafiltration module coupled to the outlet of the second reactor. A recycle loop from the second stage to the first one was tested to improve cell viability and activity. Cultivations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in mineral medium on glucose were performed at 30 degrees Celsius and pH 4. At steady state, total biomass concentrations of 59 and 157 gDCW l(-1) and ethanol concentrations of 31 and 65 g l(-1) were obtained in the first and second stage, respectively. The residual glucose concentration was 73 g l(-1) in the first stage and close to zero in the second stage. The present study shows that a very high ethanol productivity (up to 41 g l(-1) h(-1)) can indeed be obtained with complete conversion of the glucose and with a high ethanol titre (8.3 degrees GL) in the two-stage system.

RESUMEN

The impact of ethanol and temperature on the dynamic behaviour of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in ethanol biofuel production was studied using an isothermal fed-batch process at five different temperatures. Fermentation parameters and kinetics were quantified. The best performances were found at 30 and 33 degrees C around 120 g l(-1) ethanol produced in 30 h with a slight benefit for growth at 30 degrees C and for ethanol production at 33 degrees C. Glycerol formation, enhanced with increasing temperatures, was coupled with growth for all fermentations; whereas, a decoupling phenomenon occurred at 36 and 39 degrees C pointing out a possible role of glycerol in yeast thermal protection.
