Abstract

The production of industrial and fuel ethanol from starchy biomass commonly involves three steps. The present investigation was to assess the possibility of developing a direct one step process for starch fermentation employing the starch digesting yeast Saccharomyces diastaticus, a haploid strain. Direct fermentation of cassava waste by a pure culture of S. diastaticus produced the maximum of 17 g/L ethanol at 36 h fermentation.
