Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the potential of yeasts from Brazilian native stingless bees to improve bioprocesses for producing biofuels, particularly ethanol and 2-phenylethanol.
- Two yeast strains were isolated from the bees and excelled in fermenting sucrose with high efficiency, achieving over 90% and yields of 0.504 g/g, which is significant for the ethanol industry.
- Experimental analyses indicated that these yeasts thrive under high sucrose concentrations and low pH, making them suitable for both ethanol and 2-phenylethanol production from inexpensive raw materials.
