The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of XAD4-column treatment on removal of several fermentation inhibitors from corncob hydrolysate (CH). From analysis using a model hydrolysate, more than 99% of 5-hydroxy-methyl furfural, furfural and vanillin were removed by this treatment, and more than 97% of the total xylose, glucose and arabinose remained in the detoxified CH (DCH). The resulting DCH was tested as a substrate for ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia stipitis. The highest ethanol levels for S. cerevisiae were 1.40 and 4.92 g l(-1) in CH and DCH, respectively. For P. stipitis, the levels were 0 and 4.73 g l(-1) in the CH and DCH media, respectively. The levels of alcohol volumetric productivity in the DCH medium were 0.374 and 0.200 g l(-1)h(-1) for S. cerevisiae and P. stipitis, respectively.

Inducible transcription systems are essential tools in genetic engineering, where tight control, strong inducibility and fast response with cost-effective inducers are highly desired. However, existing systems in yeasts are rarely used in large-scale fermentations due to either cost-prohibitive inducers or incompatible performance. Here, we developed powerful xylose and arabinose induction systems in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, utilizing eukaryotic activators XlnR and AraR from Aspergillus species and bacterial repressors XylR and AraR.
