Dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO 2 ) evolved from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was measured, controlled and used to drive repeated batch operation for ethanol fermentation. The experiments were conducted at four glucose feeds (150, 200, 250 and 300 g/l) under three dCO 2 control levels (no control, 750 ppm and 1000 ppm). Results showed that the evolution patterns of dCO 2 depend on the extent of glucose being utilized as well as the dCO 2 control level. Repeated batch was successfully operated for four glucose feeds under dCO 2 control. Controlling dCO 2 level at 750 ppm, the self-cycling period for each repeated batch is 6.6±0.3, 7.3±0.2, 12.12±1.12, and 21.70±5.98 h, as glucose feed changes from 150, 200, 250 and 300 g/l, respectively. When dCO 2 level increases, the self-cycling period increases as well.
