Kinetic modeling and optimization of ethanol fermentation by the marine yeast Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus ZE75.

ABSTRACT: The study aims to enhance ethanol production by Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus ZE75 isolated from marine sediment. In addition, analyzing the kinetic parameters of ethanol production and optimization of the fermentation conditions was performed. The marine yeast isolate ZE75 was selected as the front runner ethanol-producer, with an ethanol yield of 89.77 gL^-1. ZE75 was identified relying on the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of W. subpelliculosus. The genotypic characterization based on the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence was deposited in the GenBank database with the accession number OP715873. The maximum specific ethanol production rate (v_max) was 0.482 gg^-1 h^-1 at 175 gL^-1 glucose concentration, with a high ac
