Acid hydrolysis of beech sawdust hemicellulose and ethanol fermentation of hydrolysates by Fusarium sp. 27.
Beech sawdust was subjected to autohydrolysis (200 degrees C) and acid hydrolysis in the presence of HCl and AlCl3. HCl-catalyzed hydrolysis was favourable method to hydrolysis beech sawdust hemicellulose. The crude and pretreated hydrolysates were tested as substrates for ethanol production by Fusarium sp. 27. Reducing sugars were fermented to ethanol by the strain Fusarium sp. 27 in yield 0.22 g ethanol per gram reducing sugars consumed.
