Participants

Reaction Steps

fermenting said loaded substrate under anaerobic conditions at a pH range of between about 5.5 to about 6.0 and at a temperature range of between about 30° C. to about 45° C., until any xylose in the mixture is isomerized to xylulose as it is produced, and any xylulose is fermented as it is produced to ethanol, while in the same fermentation, glucose is fermented to ethanol; and
