Alcohol fermentation of enzymatic hydrolysate of exploded rice straw by Pichia stipitis.

TL;DR: The xylose in an enzymatic hydrolysate of steam-exploded rice straw was not consumed by Pichia stipitis until the glucose was almost exhausted, and ethanol production was maximal at an aeration rate of 0.2 vol/vol.
