In this work, the newly isolated thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus DBKKUY-103 exhibited a high ethanol fermentation efficiency at high temperatures using sweet sorghum juice (SSJ). The highest ethanol concentrations and productivities achieved under the optimum conditions using thermotolerant K. marxianus DBKKUY-103 were 85.16 g/l and 1.42 g/l.h at 37 °C and 83.46 g/l and 1.39 g/l.h at 40 °C, respectively. The expression levels of genes during ethanol fermentation at 40 °C were evaluated and the results found that the transcriptional levels of the RAD10, RAD14, RAD33, RAD50, ATPH, ATP4, ATP16, and ATP20 genes were up-regulated compared with those at 30 °C, suggesting that the high growth and high ethanol production efficiencies of K. marxianus DBKKUY-103 during high-temperature ethanol production associated with the genes involved in DNA repair and ATP production. |
