 The seaweeds are bio-resource rich in sulfated and neutral polysaccharides. The tropical seaweed species used in this study (Solieria filiformis), after dried, shows 65.8% (w/w) carbohydrate, 9.6% (w/w) protein, 1.7% (w/w) lipid, 7.0% (w/w) moisture and 15.9% (w/w) ash. The dried seaweed was easily hydrolyzed under mild conditions (0.5 M sulfuric acid, 20 min.), generating fermentable monosaccharides with a maximum hydrolysis efficiency of 63.21%. Galactose and glucose present in the hydrolyzed were simultaneously fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae when the yeast was acclimated to galactose and cultivated in broth containing only galactose. The kinetic parameters of the fermentation of the seaweed hydrolyzed were Y(P⁄S) = 0.48 ± 0.02 g.g−1, PP = 0.27 ± 0.04 g.L−1.h−1, h = 94.1%, representing a 41% increase in bioethanol productivity. Therefore, S. filiformis was a promising renewable resource of polysaccharides easily hydrolyzed, generating a broth rich in fermentable monosaccharides for ethanol production.

The demand for ethanol in Brazil is growing. However, although the country is one of the largest producers of this fuel, it is still necessary to diversify the production matrix. In that regard, studies with different raw materials are needed, mainly the use of low cost and high available wastes such as lignocellulosic residues from agriculture. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the bioethanol production from corn stover. An alkaline pretreatment (CaO) was carried out, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis (Cellic Ctec2 and Cellic Htec2) to obtain fermentable sugars. The best experimental condition for the pretreatment and hydrolysis steps resulted in a solution with 0.31 gsugar∙gbiomass-1. Then, the fermentation was performed by the industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (PE-2) and by the wild yeast strain Wickerhamomyces sp. (UFFS-CE-3.1.2). The yield obtained was 0.38 gethanol∙gdry biomass-1 was, demonstrating the potential of this process for bioethanol production.
