Situation Analysis: Ethanol Fermentation -

Glucose Substrate

 

 

Ethanol fermentation with glucose substrate is

the most studied of all the sugar fermentation reactions. Actually,

even the fermentation processes delineated in the fermentation feed

processes are all based on the fermentation of glucose. The metabolic

reaction by which fermentation occurs has been studies extensively over

the years. For these processes, and generally for the fermentation of

glucose two types of microbes have been determined to effectively

perform the fermentation and are as shown in the two tables below: The

first is for yeasts and the second is for bacteria. However, deciding

on the type of microbe to use for reactor design is not so simple as

the names of these microbes are not known specifically, and needs to be

known for evolving a well-planned fermentation process.
