was
found to be glucose suggesting the species with a high potential
for use as a fermentation feedstock for bioethanol production.
Green algae species have 20–40 wt.% cellulose and 20–50 wt.%
hemicellulose suggesting that different species have different lignocellulose
compositions (Balat, 2011). In this study, the high cellulose
content of Y. lipolytica biomass relative to its lignocellulose
content suggests the existence of high concentration of glucose relative
to pentose sugars upon hydrolysis.
