Abstract

Candida tropicalis isolated from Tuak is a potentially useful microorganism for the ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass and it can be alternative agent replacing Saccharomyces cerevisae for fermentation process. Although C. tropicalis could not convert all carbohydrates content of lignocellulosic into bioethanol, however it is able to grow on medium in the presence of either xylose or arabinose as carbon source. Our result showed that fermentation of 10 % (w/v) cellulosic as sole carbon source produced 2.88% (v/v) ethanol by C. tropicalis. This ethanol production was lower than usage of 10% (w/v) dextrose as sole carbon source medium which producing 5.51% (v/v) ethanol. Based upon our experiment indicated that C. tropicalis is able to conduct two main process in converting of cellulosic material- to ethanol which is hydrolysis the degradation of cellulose into glucose, and fermentation the process the conversion glucose into bioethanol.
