title = "Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of pretreated switch grass with kluyveromyces marxianus imb strains",
abstract = "Switchgrass was pretreated by hydrothermolysis at 200 °C for 10 min. The resulting solids had a glucan content of 54\%. Pretreated switchgrass containing 4 g of glucan was used in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process with five thermotolerant strains of K. marxianus yeast and 60 FPU of a commercial cellulase enzyme mixture. The SSFs were performed for 7 d at 45 °C and buffered at pH 5.5. IMB 3 provided the best ethanol production results. After 72 and 96 h, 1MB 3 produced 71\% and 82\% of theoretical maximum ethanol from glucose, respectively. None of the other strains achieved greater than 80\% theoretical conversion.",
