This study has had the purpose of enhancing the knowledge on the dominant strains of ethanol fermentation process biomass to use as biofuel. The attributes studied were: numerical taxonomy (GRIFFITS, 1981) and fermentative performance. The results have showed that all strains have presented good fermentative characteristics. All strains have been classified as Saccharomyces. In this genus were found the follow species: chevalieri, coreanus cerevisiae. If the classification according BARNET (1992) is considered, all of them are representative of S. cerevisae.

Keywords : Etanol; biomassa; levedura; fermentação alcoólica; taxonomia numérica.
