Yeast engineered to co-consume xylose and acetic acid boosts cellulosic ethanol yield by 10%

Green Car Congress

Now, researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and UC Berkeley have engineered yeast to convert cellulosic sugars and toxic levels of acetate together into ethanol under anaerobic conditions. Acetic acid is toxic to fermenting microorganisms and negatively influences sugar fermentation and biofuel yields. cerevisiae.
