Abstract

Starch is an abundant resource in plant biomass, and it should be hydrolyzed enzymatically into fermentable sugars for ethanol fermentation. A genetic recombinant yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae GA-7458, was constructed by integrating the structural gene of both $\alpha$-amylase from Bacillus stearothermophilus and the gene (STA1) encoding glucoamylase from S. diastaticus into the chromosome of S. cerevisiae SH7458. The recombinant yeast showed active enzymatic activities of $\alpha$-amylase and glucoamylase. The productivity of ethanol fermentation from the pH-controlled batch culture (pH 5.5) was 2.6 times greater than that of the pH-uncontrolled batch culture. Moreover, in a fed-batch culture, more ethanol was produced (13.2 g/L), and the production yield was 0.38 with 2% of corn starch. Importantly, the integrated plasmids were fully maintained during ethanol fermentation.
