A wide range of biofuels and bio-based products can be produced from lignocellulose considering its high compositional diversity. Ethanol production by yeasts from cellulosic glucose is well-known, while hemicellulosic xylose utilization is still challenging. This work proposes the use the xylose forl-lactic acid fermentation. In this context, a sequential cultivation ofSaccharomycescerevisiaeand the C5-utilizingBacillus coagulansis studied. High ethanol yields, around 0.44 g g−1, were obtained from a cellulosic-gardening hydrolysate. The high ethanol concentrations did not affect the evolvedB. coagulansA20-EXA obtained by adaptive evolution to ethanol. As a result, 2.6-fold increase in lactic acid yield was achieved when compared with parentalB. coagulansstrain in presence of 5% (v v−1) ethanol. These results demonstrated the suitability ofB. coagulansA20-EXA to be used together withS. cerevisiaefor the sequential co-generation of ethanol and lactic acid from lignocellulosic biomass in a biorefinery approach.
