title: Strategy for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using a respiratory-deficient mutant of Candida glabrata for bioethanol production.
abstract: High temperature and agitation are advantageous for ethanol production from insoluble feedstock when using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) technique. To construct an effective SSF system, a respiratory-deficient mutant was isolated from the thermotolerant yeast Candida glabrata. Our results suggest that this respiratory-deficient mutant has higher ethanol production abilities in SSF.
