PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING ETHANOL AND FERMENTING ORGANISMS

摘要

Processes for producing ethanol comprise saccharifying cellulosic material with a cellulolytic enzyme composition and fermenting the saccharified cellulosic material with a fermenting microorganism to produce ethanol. The fermenting organism is Saccharomyces cerevisiae CIBTS1260 (deposited under Accession No. NRRL Y-50973 at the Agricultural Research Service Culture Collection (NRRL), Illinois 61604 U.S.A.) or a fermenting organism that has properties that the same or about the same as that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CIBTS1260).
