MODIFIED YEAST STRAINS EXHIBITING ENHANCED FERMENTATION OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC HYDROLYSATES

The present invention relates to novel xylose-fermenting yeast strains (for example, yeast of the genus Saccharomyces, e.g., S. cerevisiae) with an enhanced ability to ferment the xylose (and/or another pentose sugar) present in a lignocellulosic hydrolysate to a fermentation product(s) (for example...
