Abstract
The kinetics of ethanol inhibition on cell growth and ethanol production by
Kluyveromyces marxianus
UCD (FST) 55-82 were studied during batch growth. The liquid medium contained 10% (wt/vol) inulin-type sugars derived from an extract of Jerusalem artichoke (
Helianthus tuberosus
) tubers, supplemented with small amounts of Tween 80, oleic acid, and corn steep liquor. Initial ethanol concentrations ranging from 0 to 80 g/liter in the liquid medium were used to study the inhibitory effect of ethanol on the following parameters: maximum specific growth rate (μ
max
), cell and ethanol yields, and sugar utilization. It was found that as the initial ethanol concentration increased from 0 to 80 g/liter, and maximum specific growth rate of
K. marxianus
cells decreased from 0.42 to 0.09 h
−1
, whereas the ethanol and cell yields and sugar utilization remained almost constant. A simple kinetic model was used to correlate the μ
max
results and the rates of cell and ethanol production, and the appropriate constants were evaluated.
