Production of ethanol from lactose by fermentation with the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus (ATCC 46537)under various sonication regimens is reported. Batch fermentations were carried out at low-intensity sonication (11.8Wcm−2 sonication intensity at the sonotrode tip) using 10%, 20% and 40% duty cycl...
