Toxin-tolerant yeast strains that produce high ethanol yield are inevitably requited for cost-effective ethanol production from undetoxified steam-exploded corn stover. To verify the ethanol-producing capability of the strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y5 developed in our laboratory, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of undetoxified steam-exploded corn stover with solids loading of 30 % (w/v) was carried out in different-sized flasks and an automatic fermenter. After 96 h, the ethanol concentrations had reached 50, 47.8, and 47.5 g/L in the 100-mL flask, 3,000-mL flask, and 5-L automatic fermenter, respectively. The experiment demonstrates that ethanol production from undetoxified steam-exploded corn stover using S. cerevisiae Y5 simplifies the production process, reduces equipment investment and water consumption, and generates highly concentrated ethanol. S. cerevisiae Y5 is a promising strain that could reduce the cost of producing ethanol from steam-exploded corn stover.
