Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a potential process for bioethanol production from
Hydrodictyon reticulatum (HR), a filamentous freshwater alga, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(KCTC7017). From the sugar solutions prepared by the four different hydrolysis methods,
bioethanol production ranged from 11.0 g/100 g dried material (acid hydrolysis) to 22.3 g/
100 g dried material (enzymatic hydrolysis, EH). Bioethanol was fermented from a highly
concentrated sugar solution obtained by a decompression-mediated (vacuum) enrichment
method (VE). As the results, ethanol was more efficiently produced from HR when sugar
solutions were concentrated by VE following EH (EH/VE). Using multiple feeding of the
sugar solution prepared by EH/VE from HR, ethanol reached up to a concentration of 54.3 g/l,
corresponding to 24.9 g/100 g dried material, which attained the economic level of product
concentration (approximately 5%). The results indicate that by using HR, it is feasible to
establish a bioethanol production process, which is effective for using microalgae as the raw
material for ethanol production.
