1. Redox balancing in recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : In metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing Pichia stipitis XYL1 and XYL2 genes, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, xylitol is excreted as the major product during anaerobic xylose fermentation and only low yields of ethanol are produced. This has been interpreted as a result of the dual cofactor dependence of XR and the exclusive use of NAD+ by XDH. READ MORE

2. Ethanol production by recombinant and natural xylose-utilising yeasts
Abstract : The xylose-fermenting capacity of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying XYL1 and XYL2 from Pichia stipitis, which encode xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, is poor due to high xylitol formation. Whereas, P. READ MORE

3. On-line Monitoring Techniques for the Study of Yeast Physiology. Some Studies on the Yeasts Pichia stipitis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : On-line monitoring techniques have been used with the goal of optimizing fermentation processes involving the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast) and Pichia stipitis (a xylose fermenting yeast), and a highly equipped fermentor system has been developed for these studies. The fed-batch growth of S. READ MORE

4. Genetic Traits Beneficial for Xylose Utilization by Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments hexoses in lignocellulosic hydrolysates under anaerobic conditions with high rates and ethanol yields. However, S. cerevisiae is naturally unable to utilize the pentose fraction of the hydrolysates. Xylose is the most abundant pentose sugar, and although recombinant S. READ MORE

5. Lignocellulosic Ethanol Production: Studies on Sugarcane Bagasse, Paja Brava, Wheat Straw, Quinoa Stalks and Curupaú
Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass refers to plant material that is composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. These materials are today of large interest to researchers in the field of biofuel and bioenergy. READ MORE
