Abstract
Ethanol tolerance, osmotolerance and sugar conversion efficiency were used to screen yeasts for potential ethanol production from sweet-stem sorghum juice. Of the ten strains of Saccharomyces sp. that produced ethanol from the sorghum juice or from yeast extract/phosphate/sucrose (YEPS) media, the best sugar conversion efficiencies were greater than 85% for the strains Vin7, SB9, N96 and GSL. Vin7 and SB9 had higher sugar conversion efficiencies for sweet-stem sorghum juice, while strains N96 and GSL gave higher conversions in YEPS.Entities:
