Abstract: | Background Fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive alternative for the production of bioethanol. Traditionally, the
yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used in industrial ethanol fermentations. However, S. cerevisiae is naturally not able to ferment the pentose sugars D-xylose and L-arabinose, which are present in high amounts in lignocellulosic
raw materials. |
