Saccharification and co-fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass by a cockroach-gut bacterial symbiont and yeast cocktail for bioethanol production
Although K. marxianus had a significantly greater fermentation efficiency than S. cerevisiae, fermentation with a 50:50 (% v/v) mixture of both yeasts led to 88.32% fermentation efficiency with 55.56 ± 0.19 g/L crude bioethanol, suggesting that inexpensive, eco-friendly and sustainable bioethanol production could be obtained from renewable energy sources.
