摘要:
The present invention relates to an ethanol producing microbial strain, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, being able to grow and produce ethanol from lignocellulosic hydrolysates comprising growth inhibiting compounds of the group furfural and 5-hydroxy-methyl furfural, in a batch, fed-batch or continuous fermentation, said microbial strain being tolerant to such inhibiting compounds, which strain is upregulated and/or over expressed with regard to one or more of the following genes: LAT1, ALD6, ADH5, ADH6, GDH3, OYE3, SER3, GND2, MDH2, IDP3, ADH7, AAD15, ERG27, HMG1, LYS5, SPS19, SGE1.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for obtaining a recombinant yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which ferments lignocellulose raw materials to ethanol, including introducing DNA into a yeast so as to cause the yeast to have introduced genes encoding xylose reductase, xylitol dehydrogenase and xylulokinase.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel nucleic acid sequences which, upon expression in a procaryotic or eucaryotic cell, code for a polypeptide having an elevated specific xylose isomerase activity compared to the wildtype Thermus thermophilus xylose isomerase. They are selected from a) nucleic acid sequences shown in SEQ. ID. No 1; b) the complementary strand of the sequence defined in (a) above; c) nucleic acid sequences which hybridize to the sequences defined in (a) or (b) above; d) nucleic acid sequences which, but for the degeneracy of the genetic code, would hybridize to the sequences defined in (a), (b) or (c) above and which code for the same polypeptide as those defined in (a), (b) or (c) above. The present invention further provides a process of producing ethanol from xylose containing materials comprising contacting cells that express such nucleic acid sequences and novel modified xylose isomerases that advantageously can be applied in the production of fructose syrups.
摘要:
This invention relates to recombinant-DNA-technology. Specifically this invention relates to new recombinant yeast strains transformed with xylose reductase and/or xylitol dehydrogenase enzyme genes. A yeast strain transformed with the xylose reductase gene is capable of reducing xylose to xylitol and consequently of producing xylitol in vivo. If both of these genes are transformed into a yeast strain, the resultant strain is capable of producing ethanol on xylose containing medium during fermentation. Further, the said new yeast strains are capable of expressing the said two enzymes. Xylose reductase produced by these strains can be used in an enzymatic process for the production of xylitol in vitro.
