Ethanol production from pentoses by yeasts possessing a modified phosphofructokinase
Date: 5.8.2015
| Summary: | |
| A Slovenian research institute has developed a gene encoding a modified 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase, the key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis. The modified enzyme enables fermentative pentose sugar utilization and enhanced production of ethanol by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The researchers are looking for partners in the field of bioethanol production interested in further development of the technology through research or technical cooperation agreements, and/or license agreements. | |
