IMPROVED YEAST STRAINS FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION

This invention relates to a recombinant cell, preferably a recombinant yeast cell comprising: a) a gene coding for an enzyme having glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, wherein said enzyme has a cofactor dependency for at least NADP+ and/or for NADPH; b) a gene encoding an enzyme having at l...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to a recombinant cell, preferably a recombinant yeast cell comprising: a) a gene coding for an enzyme having glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, wherein said enzyme has a cofactor dependency for at least NADP+ and/or for NADPH; b) a gene encoding an enzyme having at least NAD+ dependent acetylating acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.2.1.10); and c) a mutation or disruption in at least one gene selected from the group of GPD1 and GPD2. Said cell is suitable for ethanol production, has a reduced glycerol production at high ethanol yield.
