Switchgrass Steroidal Saponins Reduce Fungal Disease but Decrease Yeast Fermentation Yield

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Yeast fermentation of switchgrass biomass is inhibited for certain genotypes, especially those with high concentrations of steroidal saponins that protect against fungal disease. Inhibition can be reversed through (1) ergosterol addition, (2) fermentation with the bacterium Zymonomas mobilis, or (3) in different collection years.
