<p>A process for obtaining ethanol directly from D-xylose through fermentation of D-xylose by xylose-fermenting yeast mutants. The process provides for obtaining ethanol from hemicellulose hydrolyzates through yeast fermentation of D-xylose to ethanol. In addition, a process for producing yeast mutants capable of utilizing D-xylose to ethanol in high yields is described. Furthermore, the process also provides for obtaining ethanol from a mixture of cellulose and hemicellulose hydrolyzates through yeast fermentation of D-glucose and D-xylose directly and simultaneously to ethanol.</p> |
