Glycerol production in a triose phosphate isomerase deficient mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract excerpt

Interesting challenges from metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells arise from the opportunity to obtain yeast strains useful for the production of chemicals. In this paper, we show that engineered yeast cells deficient in the triose phosphate isomerase activity are able to produce glycerol without the use of steering agents. High yields of conversion of glucose into glycerol (80-90% of the...
