In a process of adjustments to the original yeast, Yong-Su Jin at the University of Illinois and his colleagues converted it to one that will consume both types of sugar faster and more efficiently than any strain currently in use in the biofuel industry. A glucose transporter on the surface of the yeast prefers to bind to glucose.
