Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Ethanol Production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae MLD10 Using Molasses

In this study, we have used ultraviolet (UV) and γ-ray induction to get a catabolite repression resistant and thermotolerant mutant with enhanced ethanol production along with optimization of sugar concentration and temperature of fermentation. Classical mutagenesis in two consecutive cycles of UV- and γ-ray-induced mutations evolved one best catabolite-resistant and thermotolerant mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae MLD10 which showed improved...
