  • Patent number: 11473109
    Abstract: Described herein are Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains MBG5038 and MBG5012 deposited under the Budapest Treaty and having accession Nos. NRRL Y67549 and NRRL Y67700, respectively, or a derivatives of strains NRRL Y67549 or Y67700 which exhibit one or more properties or defining characteristics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains MBG5038 or MBG5012. Also described are compositions comprising the Saccharomyces yeast and naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring components, as well as are processes for producing ethanol from starch-containing material using the strains.

  • Publication number: 20210269833
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for producing fermentation products from starch-containing material, wherein a triacylglyceride lipase (e.g., a thermostable triacylglyceride lipase) is present and/or added during liquefaction, pre-saccharification, saccharification, fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, or any combination thereof, to increase enzymatically accessible starch, for example by reducing starch retrogradation, and/or increase fermentation product yield, such as ethanol yield. The disclosure also relates to the use of a triacylglyceride lipase in processes of the disclosure, for example, to increase enzymatically accessible starch and/or fermentation product yield, such as ethanol yield.

  • Patent number: 10364444
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for producing ethanol from starch-containing material using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast deposited under Accession No. V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 at National Measurement Institute, Victoria, Australia) or a fermenting organism strain having properties that are about the same as that of the deposited Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain or a derivative of Saccharomyces strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 having the defining characteristics of strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037. The invention also relates to Saccharomyces yeast deposited under the Budapest Treaty and having NMI accession no. V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 or a derivative of strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 which exhibits one or more properties or defining characteristics of strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037.
