Purpose of the development: Preparation of ethanol as a renewable energy source.

Recommended application field: Preparation of the basic fuel ethanol plant biomass sugars.

Advantages over analogues: Using the unique yeast strains.

The development stage readiness: Finishing off is required

Description of the development:
()
Using the methods of metabolic engineering yeast strains were constructed Hansenula polymorpha, Pichia stipitis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, characterized by elevated levels of alcoholic fermentation of plant essential sugars glucose or xylose biomass compared to the wild type parent strain. Production of industrial ethanol producers need to further improve the characteristics of the alcoholic fermentation in the engineered strains. Expected result of the investment: the construction of industrial strains capable of efficient alcoholic fermentation, the main sugars of plant biomass glucose and xylose.
