Abstract: The present invention relates to genetically engineered yeasts having a heterologous trehalase gene and fermentation processes for using such yeasts. The yeasts can express trehalase in a quantity sufficient to convert significant amounts of trehalose to glucose, thereby improving the yield of the product in a fermentation, and/or reducing or eliminating the need to add exogenous trehalase to the fermentation. The yeasts can also include other heterologous genes for expressing enzymes useful for improving yield and/or for reducing or eliminating the need to add exogenous enzymes to the fermentation.

Abstract: Yeast cells are genetically modified to disrupt a native metabolic pathway from dihydroxyacetone to glycerol. In certain aspects, the yeast cell is of the genera Kluyveromyces, Candida or Issatchenkia. In other aspects, the yeast cell is capable of producing at least one organic acid, such as lactate. The yeast cells produce significantly less glycerol than the wild-type strains, and usually produce greater yields of desired fermentation products. Yeast cells of the invention often grow well when cultivated, despite their curtailed glycerol production.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically engineered yeast capable of manufacturing a fermentation product using sucrose as a fermentation substrate, and fermentation processes using such a yeast. The yeast has an exogenous invertase gene and has a deletion or disruption of the PDC activity gene. Accordingly, the yeast is useful for manufacturing fermentation products other than ethanol from fermentation substrates containing sucrose.

Abstract: Genetically modified yeast having a heterologous sugar transporter that is capable of transporting a non-glucose sugar such as maltulose, are described. The heterologous sugar transporter can be a protein according to, or that has similarity to, SEQ ID NO:44. Fermentation methods using enzymatically treated starch where the yeast are able to consume the non-glucose sugars, are also described. The engineered yeast can be useful for producing desired bioproducts such as high ethanol, with low amounts of residual sugars in the medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically engineered yeast capable of manufacturing a fermentation product using sucrose as a fermentation substrate, and fermentation processes using such a yeast. In some embodiments, the fermentation product is ethanol.
