    Abstract: A method for preparing a yeast capable of simultaneously fermenting a pentose and a hexose sugar, comprising: (a) providing a yeast comprising: one or more heterologous genes encoding an enzyme of a pentose metabolic pathway; disruptions of a gene encoding a ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase and of a gene encoding a glucose-6-phosphate isomerase; one or more overexpressed endogenous genes encoding an enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway; and a disruption of one or more genes encoding an NADPH dependent 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, (b) subjecting said yeast to evolutionary engineering on a medium comprising a hexose sugar and at least one pentose sugar, selecting for a yeast with improved growth rate obtain an evolved yeast; (d) restoring, in the evolved yeast, one or more of the disrupted genes, or: (d′) identifying genetic permutations in at least part of the genome of the evolved yeast by genome sequencing; (e) constructing an improved pentose and hexose-fermenting yeast comprising one or more said genetic permutations. Also described is a recombinant yeast comprising one or more heterologous genes of a pentose metabolic pathway, and a gene encoding a variant of a parent polypeptide, the variant comprising an amino acid sequence comprising at least one mutation, when aligned with the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO: 6.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to genetic modifications in eukaryotic host cells that have been transformed to express a xylose isomerase that confers on the host cell the ability to isomerize xylose to xylulose. These genetic modifications are aimed at improving the efficiency of xylose metabolism and include, e.g., reduction of nonspecific aldose reductase activity, increased xylulose kinase activity and increased flux of the pentose phosphate pathway. The modified host cells of the invention are suitable for the production of a wide variety of fermentation products, including ethanol, in fermentation processes in which a source of xylose or a source of xylose and glucose are used as carbon source.

    Abstract: 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.
