Fuel ethanol is produced by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae mainly from corn starch in
the United States and from sugarcane sucrose in Brazil, which together manufacture∼ 85 …

Efficient biotransformation of lignocellulosic biomass to second-generation (2G) bioethanol
requires promising strains harboring built-in resistance against limitations imposed by …

Background Sugarcane hemicellulosic material is a compelling source of usually neglected
xylose that could figure as feedstock to produce chemical building blocks of high economic …

Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT 5344 is a bacterium able to assimilate cyanide as
a nitrogen source at alkaline pH. Genome sequencing of this strain allowed the detection of …

The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic sources presents increasingly difficult issues
for the global biofuel scenario, leading to increased production costs of current second …

To meet increased demand for biofuels, biorefineries need to achieve higher yields, which
could be achieved by optimizing current processes by using thermotolerant microorganisms …

Ethanol production has key differences between the two largest producing countries of this
biofuel, Brazil and the USA, such as feedstock source, sugar concentration and ethanol titers …

Ethanol stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a well-studied phenomenon, but pinpointing
specific genes or polymorphisms governing ethanol tolerance remains a subject of ongoing …

Current technology that enables bioethanol production from agricultural biomass imposes
harsh conditions for Saccharomyces cerevisiae's metabolism. In this work, the genetic …

The large-scale and nonaseptic fermentation of sugarcane feedstocks into fuel ethanol in
biorefineries represents a unique ecological niche, in which the yeast Saccharomyces …
