Inhibitory Effects of Biomass Degradation Products on Ethanol Fermentation and a Strategy to Overcome Them
The influence of buffers, as well as inhibitors such as formic acid, furfural, HMF, guaiacol, and vanillin, on ethanol formation was investigated. Compared to phosphoric buffer, the acetic and citric buffers were less inhibitory on ethanol fermentation. The addition of formic acid (2.5 g/L) to the b...
