Edvotek The Future of Biofuels: Alcohol Fermentation [80234]

Ethanol fermentation is the most common method for biofuel production worldwide. In this experiment, students will use small-scale flask fermenters to quantify ethanol production and sugar utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By controlling variables such as temperature and aeration, the students can compare the efficiency of the fermentations over a three day experiment. Expt. 304
