Ethanol production from xylose by Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124 in a stirred tank bioreactor

The ethanol production by Pichia stipitis was evaluated in a stirred tank bioreactor using semi-defined medium containing xylose (90.0 g/l) as the main carbon source. Experimental assays were performed according to a 2² full factorial design to evaluate the influence of aeration (0.25 to 0.75 vvm) a...
