Summary
Semi solid culture is adaptated to ethanol production from sugar-beet. This technique offers some advantages (reduction of liquid volumes and suppression of the diffusion step). With a tubular reactor, the ethanol concentration obtained reaches 8,3%, and the yield is 0,407. The feasability of solid state fermentation on sugar-beet is demonstrated.
