Very high gravity ethanol fermentation by flocculating yeast under redox potential-controlled conditions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Very high gravity (VHG) fermentation using medium in excess of 250 g/L sugars for more than 15% (v) ethanol can save energy consumption, not only for ethanol distillation, but also for distillage treatment; however, stuck fermentatio...
