title = "Ethanol production by a strain of kluyveromyces marxianus at elevated temperatures and in various bioreactor configurations",
abstract = "Continuous ethanol production using a strain of Kluyveromyces marxianus was investigated at 45°C in four fermenter configurations: stirred tank reactor (STR); STR with cell recycle; poorly mixed STR which allowed the sedimentation of the yeast in the fermenter; and two STRs in series, incorporating an aerobic stage for biomass production followed by an anaerobic ethanol production stage. The configurations were compared with respect to ethanol productivity, ethanol yield on glucose and the specific activity of the yeast. The maximum productivity per unit volume (3.9 ml/l.hour) was achieved by using two fermenters in series or by using a poorly mixed fermenter. This was a threefold increase in productivity compared with the STR.",
