Engineering and two-stage evolution of a lignocellulosic hydrolysate-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for anaerobic fermentation of xylose from AFEX pretreated corn stover.
The inability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment xylose effectively under anaerobic conditions is a major barrier Table Lamp Youth to economical production of lignocellulosic biofuels.Although genetic approaches have enabled engineering of S.cerevisiae to convert xylose efficiently into ethanol in defined lab medium, few strains are a
