  • Modified yeast consuming L-arabinose
    Patent number: 8691554
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a L-arabinose utilizing yeast strain for the production of ethanol, whereby a yeast strain is modified by introducing and expressing araA gene (L-arabinose isomerase), araB gene (L-ribulokinase D121-N) and araD gene (L-ribulose-5-P 4-epimerase) and carrying additional mutations in its genome or overexpressing a TAL1 (transaldolase) gene, enabling it to consume L-arabinose, to use it as the only carbon source, and to produce ethanol, as well as a method for producing ethanol using such a modified strain.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2014
    Assignee: Scandinavian Technology Group AB
    Inventors: Eckhard Boles, Jessica Becker
