Abstract excerpt
Chemical mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using ethyl methane sulfonate was performed to enhance its ability of xylose uptake for ethanol production from lignocellulose under microaerobic condition. Among the appeared mutants, the mutant no. 2 (M2) strain screened using inhibitory effects of 2-deoxyglucose (DOG) showed more than 4-fold high ability in xylose uptake compared with the wild type strain, under...
