Abstract

The capibility of three types of ethanol-producing microorganisms in fermenting glucose in the oil palm trunk hydrolysate was investigated. The batch fermentation was carried out in a 2 L fermentor using hydrolysates prepared enzymatically. Of the three Saccharomyces cerevisae was the most efficient with a conversion of about 95. Candida pseudotropicalis could only convert 50.8 glocose at a very slow rate. Klyveromyces fragilis failed to consume any glucose thus it is not recommended for this purpose.
