Ethanol production and glucose consumption by yeast strains in different sugarcane hydrolysate (SH) formulations. (a) The isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Fm17 and (b) the benchmark industrial S. cerevisiae 27P. The SH formulations (volume basis) were 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% SH, and the broth was supplemented with 100 g/l glucose and 50 g/l xylose. All experiments were conducted in triplicate, and are reported as mean ± standard deviations.
