Abstract excerpt
Glycerol is the main byproduct produced under anaerobic ethanol fermentations by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and consumes a considerable amount of substrate. To verify the metabolic phenotype predications for increasing ethanol formation, two engineered S. cerevisiae KAM-14, KAM-15 strains were constructed for possible redirection of glycerol carbon flux into ethanol by overexpression of GLT1 in the...
