Abstract
Recent interest in ethanol as a potential fuel or fuel supplement has stimulated research into various aspects of the fermentation process. Techniques such as continuous fermentation, vacuum distillation and methods for cell recycle have been investigated (6,10,11), but another important area being studied is that of strain selection and improvement for maximum productivity.
