| Summary: | The effect pH on the growth of CSI-l strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as its
ethanol productivity was studied by using batch fermentation. The growth and theethanol
productivity efficiency of yeast strain was studied with two conditions which were at pH 8
and pH 9. From this study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CSI-l strain is classified as alkaliphile
or alkalitolerant organisms due to its ability to grow and ferment sugar at high pH. Ethanol
productivity was determined for both pH. Study shows that fermentation conducted at pH 8
shows quite high fermentation efficiency which was 70.07%. Although there are slightly
different if compared to fermentation conducted at optimum condition, however, fermentation
conducted at alkaliphilic condition can reduce the possibility of contamination. |
