  • YEAST WITH INCREASED BUTANOL TOLERANCE INVOLVING CELL WALL INTEGRITY PATHWAY
    Publication number: 20100167364
    Abstract: Increasing tolerance to butanol in yeast has been accomplished by increasing activity of the cell wall integrity pathway. Yeast with increased expression of SLT2p, a mitogen activated protein kinase of the MAPK module of the cell wall integrity pathway had increased tolerance to isobutanol. These yeast may be used for improved butanol production.
