Effect of C/N ratio and starch concentration on ethanol production from sago starch using recombinant yeast

Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae YKU 131 (capable of expressing glucoamylase) was used to produce ethanol from sago starch. The optimum C/N ratio for ethanol production by the recombinant yeast was 7.9, where 4.7 and 10.1 g/l ethanol was produced from 20 and 40 g/l sago starch, respectively. At...
