A modeling and experimental approach to understanding the bottlenecks in xylulose utilization in S. cerevisiae

Creator:

Hohenschuh, William

Abstract:

The production of fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass has the potential to replace a significant portion of non-renewable transport fuels. Woody feedstocks are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Glucose, the monomer of cellulose, is readily utilized by wild-type S. cerevisiae, but xylose, which comprises 60% of the sugar in...

Avanasi Narasimhan, Ragothaman

Abstract:

A major challenge in ethanol production using lignocellulosic feed stock is inefficient utilization of hemicellulose, which accounts for 30-40% of lignocellulosic biomass. Xylose, comprising >60% of recoverable sugars from hemicellulose is a major product of the hemicellulose hydrolysis. Utilization of this carbon source would significantly increase the ethanol yield from...
