Impact of osmotic stress and ethanol inhibition in yeast
Under the VHG fermentation condition, glucose concentration oscillated between 92.6 and 179.7 g/L, with an average of 131.7 g/L, and correspondingly ethanol concentration oscillated between 71.3 and 31.4 g/L, with an average of 55.2 g/L. Apparently, such a high glucose concentration exerted significant osmotic stress on yeast cells, which was in accordance with more

RESEARCH Open Access Impact of osmotic stress and ethanol
the impact of osmotic stress on yeast cells was not the main reason for the process oscillation. However, when 30 g/L ethanol was supplemented into the LG medium to simulate the ethanol inhibition in yeast cells under the VHG fermentation condition, process oscillation was triggered, which was augmented with extended oscillation
