Abstract
The effect of fungal mycelium from different species and waste mycelium from the antibiotic industry on ethanol production from cane molasses batch fermentation by yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3525 was examined. Using 20% cane molasses total reducing sugars, the prepared mycelium (0.4% wet wt) or waste mycelium (0.4% dry wt) supplement produced 7.0–7.6% (w/v) ethanol compared with 4.0–4.5% (w/v) in the control experiment after approximately 44 h at 30°C. Using 25% molasses sugars, waste mycelium supplement accelerated the rate of ethanol production and enhanced the yield of ethanol after 70 h from 4.9% (w/v) in the control to 8.3% (w/v).
