Abstract
Glucose and galactose are monosaccharides obtained from Gloiopeltis furcata (Red algae). A total monosaccharide yield of 62.3 g/L was obtained from G. furcata using thermal acid hydrolysis and enzymatic saccharification. Activated carbon was used to eliminate hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from the hydrolysate. Previously obtained monosaccharides are used for ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae consumes glucose first, then galactose. The methods for reducing fermentation time and increasing the ethanol yield coefficient using the simultaneous consumption of glucose and galactose have been evaluated. Gal3p and Gal80p of S. cerevisiae act as signal transducers that govern the galactose inducer Gal4p mediated transcriptional activation of the Gal gene family. Gal80p binds to Gal4p for transcription deactivation. Therefore, Gal80p was deleted for Gal4p expression without interruption.
