  • Materials and methods for creating strains of that exhibit an increased ability to ferment oligosaccharides into ethanol
    Patent number: 12203111
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a yeast strain capable of fermenting high maltose syrups into ethanol in the presence of glucose. In commercially important fuel ethanol yeast strains, the presence of glucose prevents robust maltose fermentation. This invention causes enhanced co-fermentation of maltose and glucose in strains otherwise identical to commercial fuel ethanol yeast strains.
    Type: Grant
