YEAST STRAIN DEVELOPMENT FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
This disclosure relates to yeast strains and derivatives thereof, as well as compositions comprising the yeast strains for use in ethanol manufacture. The disclosure also relates to processes for producing ethanol from biomass using the yeast strains and compositions. In particular, the yeast strains produce lower glycerol and higher ethanol, and have a higher temperature tolerance and higher fermentation rate than strains and products currently used in ethanol production processes.
