Industrial Production of Ethyl Alcohol: Processes and Microorganisms
Ethyl alcohol production from molasses involves specific steps like selecting yeast strains, preparing inoculum, and creating fermentation conditions. Yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae play a crucial role due to their alcohol tolerance and rapid growth properties. The process requires careful han

Understanding Different Types of Fermentations
Alcoholic fermentation involves the production of ethanol, commonly carried out by yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae. On the other hand, lactic acid fermentation results in the production of lactic acid through two types: homo-fermentative and heterofermentative pathways. Different substrates and

Industrial Applications of Microbial Biomass Production
Microbial biomass has various industrial applications such as the production of single-cell proteins, antibiotics, ethanol, and organic acids. This biomass can serve as a valuable resource for seed cultures, silage production, biopesticides, animal fodder, and more. Yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevis
