Remunerative Approach of Production of Bioethanol from Sea Weeds

In this study there are taken two different varieties of macro algae Gracilaria sps and Sargassum sps from Mandapam coast of Rameshwaram and a comparative study between these species are done by estimating the biomass like moisture content, lipids content, proteins content and carbohydrates content. The above spicies is carried through different hydrolysis process. This study investigated bioethanol production by means of fermentation using two different yeast YS1 and YS2. The microorganism YS1 was isolated from fermented graph juice (10-4 dilution) and YS2isolated from rotton orange fruit (10-6 dilution). Carbohydrates derived from seaweeds contain hexose sugars which contain hexoxe sugars which are suitable materials for fermentation to produce fuel ethanol from sea weeds. Statistical experimental for ethanol fermentations by YS1 and YS2. Results for one week of fermentation process revealed that YS2 produced more bioethanol and faster than YS1.
