High-Efficiency Carbohydrate Fermentation to Ethanol at Temperatures above 40°C by Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus Isolated from Sugar Mills

OPTIMIZATION OF INULINASE PRODUCTION USING COPRA WASTE BY Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus

Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus was found to secrete a large amount of extracellular inulinase in to the medium. The optimization of inulinase production using copra waste as a carbon source was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of eighteen nutrients for their influence on inulinase production was achieved using a Plackett– –Burman design...

Ethanol production at high temperature from cassava pulp by a newly isolated Kluyveromyces marxianus strain, TISTR 5925

Kluyveromyces marxianus TISTR 5925, isolated from rotten fruit in Thailand, can ferment at pH 3 at temperatures between 42 and 45 °C. Bioethanol production from cassava pulp using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process was evaluated and compared with the separated hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) process using K. marxianus TISTR 5925. The ethanol concentrations obtain...

Convective Drying of the Thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus at Relatively Low Temperatures and its Efficiency in Whey Fermentation

Thermally dried thermophilic K. marxianus has proved to be an effective starter culture for whey fermentation. Convective drying of K. marxianus can be performed effectively in the range 35-60 o C. The best drying temperature for is considered 35 o C since it is the most cost effective without any substantial difference in kinetic parameters when compared with higher temperatures. The impact of...

Ethanol fermentation of sugar beet thick juice diluted with crude cheese whey by the flex yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus KD-15

Genome sequence of the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus KCTC 17555.

Kluyveromyces marxianus is a thermotolerant yeast that has been explored for potential use in biotechnological applications, such as production of biofuels, single-cell proteins, enzymes, and other heterologous proteins. Here, we present the high-quality draft of the 10.9-Mb genome of K. marxianus var. marxianus KCTC 17555 (= CBS 6556 = ATCC 26548).
