Popis: Media containing xylose and/or glucose were tested utilizing Zymomonas mobilis or Saccharomyces diastaticus and Pichia stipitis. The best fermentation results were obtained in separated glucose (180 g/litre) and xylose (80 g/litre) fermentations utilizing Zymomonas mobilis and Pichia stipitis strains, respectively. In these conditions, the maximum ethanol concentrations achieved were 86·2 g/litre and 29 g/litre, respectively. The complete conversion of a glucose and xylose mixture (50 g/litre) was obtained using a respiratory deficient mutant of Saccharomyces diastaticus co-cultivated with Pichia stipitis in continuous culture. Using the co-culture process, the maximum ethanol concentration was 21·5 g/litre (Yp/s=0·45 g/g) and the maximum volumetric ethanol productivity was 4·3 g/(litre × h).
