Ethanol bioproduction by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM-2232 exposed to ethanesulfonylchloride

Alcoholic fermentation is a complex biochemical process during which yeasts convert sugars to ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other metabolic byproducts that contribute to the chemical composition and sensorial properties of the fermented foodstuffs. Alcoholic fermentation is the basis for the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. The effect of ethanesulfonylchloride on bioproduction of ethanol by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM-2232 has been assessed. It has been found that the mutagen, i.e., ethanesulfonylchloride under observation has stimulatory effect on bioproduction of ethanol by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM-2232 and enhances the yield of ethanol to an extent of 6.76328% higher in comparison to control flat bottom fermentor flasks, i.e., 6.21 ml/100mL in 50 hrs of incubation period, 4.25 pH and 300C temperature with 18% (w/v) molasses solution.
