Alcoholic fermentation: on the inhibitory effect of ethanol
Journal Article

· Biotechnol. Bioeng.; (United States)
The inhibitory effect of ethanol was studied during alcoholic fermentation under strictly anaerobic conditions assured by stripping dissolved oxygen with pure nitrogen. It is shown that ehthanol produced during batch fermentation is more inhibitory than added ethanol in the range of 0 to 76 g/liter. Thus, the inhibition constant is 105.2 and 3.8 g/liter for added and produced ethanol, respectively. The measurement of the intracellular alcohol concentration can explain the difference in inhibitory effects of added and produced oxygen. 15 refs.
