  • Kluyveromyces lactis yeast strain and methods for the production of sugars, ethanol, beta-galactosidase and biomass
    Patent number: 9279135
    Abstract: A Kluyveromyces lactis yeast strain comprising the sequence identified by SEQ ID NO: 1, and methods for the production of sugars (glucose and galactose), ethanol, ?-galactosidase and biomass is provided, in which the Kluyveromyces lactis yeast strain is cultured in the presence of a lactose-containing medium. The lactose-containing medium may be milk, whey, whey resulting from the preparation of butter, whey resulting after casein precipitation, milk permeate, whey permeate, acid whey and YPL culture medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2016
    Assignee: QUEIZUAR, S.L.
    Inventors: Angel Pereira Rodriguez, Manuel Becerra Fernandez, Maria Isabel Gonzalez Siso, Maria Esperanza Cerdan Villanueva

  • STRAINS OF S.CEREVISIAE CAPABLE OF GROWING IN MEDIA WITH MELIBIOSE, STACHYOSE AND RAFFINOSE
    Publication number: 20130273602
    Abstract: The invention relates to strains of S. cerevisiae capable of secreting ?-galactosidase into culture medium, as well as to methods for obtaining ?-galactosidase using said strains and methods for producing biomass and bioethanol by means of culturing said strains in media rich in galactose. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for expressing recombinant proteins using a composition rich in galactose as a culture medium for the microorganisms producing said protein.
