Abstract

Article Summary

In the current communication some of the more important steps has been taken for the higher production of bioethanol exposed to some chemical mutagens specially isocarboxazide by some microbial strains such as Thermoanaerobacter matheranii NT-166, T. pseudoethanolicus NT-120, T.pentosaceus NT-132, Zymomonas mobilis NT-145 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae NT-138. It has been noted that Saccharomyces cerevisiae NT-138 has been found most successful bioethanol producer. It has been observed that the chemical mutagen, i.e,isocarboxazide has stimutatory and significant effect on bioethanol production and enhances the yield of bioethanol to an extent of 18.074% higher in comparison to control, i.e., 6.75ml/100 ml when 22.5% (w/v) molasses solution is allowed to ferment for 55 hrs of optimum incubation period, 4.8 pH, and 33.50C temperature along with some other nutritional ingredients required by the fungal strain under trial.
