  • Yeast expressing glucoamylase with enhanced starch hydrolysis
    Patent number: 11814629
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns recombinant yeast host cell for saccharification of a biomass. The recombinant yeast host cell has a genetic modification for expressing a heterologous polypeptide having glucoamylase activity (Penicillum oxalicum glucoamylase). In some embodiments, the heterologous polypeptide can comprise a signal sequence. The present disclosure also concerns a process for saccharification of a biomass using the recombinant yeast host cell as well as a process for fermenting the saccharified biomass into a fermentation product.
