1. To develop kinetic modeling of co-culture for fermentation of hexoses and pentoses
2. To design an optimal co-culture for hexose-pentose fermentation that results in the shortest fermentation time, while maintaining high ethanol yield using the developed kinetic model
3. To demonstrate the use of co-culture with optimized cell ratio based on kinetic model prediction for efficient production of ethanol from different sugar mixture compositions in various types of biomass feedstock
4. To demonstrate the scalability of developed co-culture system that can be suitable for large-scale or commercialized scale production process
