Quantification and mitigation of byproduct formation by low-glycerol-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains containing Calvin-cycle enzymes

Aafke C. A. van Aalst et al.

Summary: In slow-growing anaerobic cultures, it was found that the introduction of Calvin-cycle enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain can improve ethanol production but also lead to the formation of excessive acetaldehyde and acetate. By reducing the expression level of RuBisCO and PRK and using a growth rate-dependent promoter, the production of acetaldehyde and acetate can be reduced and glycerol production efficiency can be increased.

Compliance with hand sanitizer quality during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: Assessing the impurities in an ethanol plant

Gabriel Cohen et al.

Summary: In the production of alcohol-based disinfectants in ethanol plants, research suggests that the process stream generated by the distillation column may require further treatment due to higher concentrations of acetaldehyde and acetal. Addition of a second distillation column could be a potential method for addressing impurities.
