Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the fermentation of isomaltulose. wherein isomaltulose obtained from plant material is contacted with cells of Saccharomyces. Preferably, the Saccharomyces is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. According to a preferred embodiment the specific growth rate on isomaltulose is 0.25 h-1 or more under anaerobic conditions. Preferably the fermentation has a yield of ethanol of 0.3 g ethanol/g sugar or more.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transformed eukaryotic cell comprising one or more nucleotide sequence(s) encoding acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase, butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase or acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and/or NAD(P)H-dependent butanol dehydrogenase, whereby the nucleotide sequence(s) upon transformation of the cell confer(s) the cell the ability to produce butanol. The invention also relates to a process for the production of butanol.

Abstract:
The present invention describes a method for the treatment of lignocellulosic material which method comprises contacting said lignocellulosic material with a composition comprising two or more enzyme activities, said enzyme activities being cellulase and/or hemicellulase activities, wherein the pH during the treatment is about 4.5 or lower, and the treatment is carried out at a dry matter content of 15% or more.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of one or more fermentation product from a sugar composition, comprising the following steps: a) fermentation of the sugar composition in the presence of a yeast belonging to the genera Saccharomyces, Kluyveromyces, Candida, Pichia, Schizosaccharomyces, Hansenula, Kloeckera, Schwanniomyces or Yarrowia , and b) recovery of the fermentation product, wherein the yeast comprises the genes araA , araB and araD and the sugar composition comprises glucose, galactose and arabinose.
