Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The objective of this study was to develop a mutant from Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124, tolerant of high concentrations of acetic acid and other inhibitory components present in acid hydrolysates, to improve ethanol yield and productivity. METHODS AND RESULTS: The mutant was developed through adaptation in acid hydrolysate supplemented with nutrients and minerals at 30 +/- 0.5 degrees C. When it was tested...
