EXPRESSION OF BETA-GLUCOSIDASE IN YEAST FOR IMPROVED ETHANOL PRODUCTION

Described are compositions and methods relating to the expression of β-glucosidase in yeast for use in industrial ethanol production. The yeast demonstrates increased ethanol production and reduced production of unwanted side-products, including acetate. Such yeast is particularly useful for large-s...

Zusammenfassung:Described are compositions and methods relating to the expression of β-glucosidase in yeast for use in industrial ethanol production. The yeast demonstrates increased ethanol production and reduced production of unwanted side-products, including acetate. Such yeast is particularly useful for large-scale ethanol production from starch substrates.
