Abstract

A strain ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae, Y18, has been isolated and characterized for the production of ethanol and biomass from the sap of Palmyra palm. The ethanol and biomass produced by Y18 in batch cultures without aeration were 70 g/L and 6 g/L respectively, from saps containing 150 g/L of sucrose. Under aerobic conditions, the biomass produced was 0.5 g/g sucrose, with crude and true protein contentsentrations of 57 and 52 % w/w respectively.
