Abstract: An object of the present invention is to obtain fermentative yeast having highly efficient ethanol production without introducing a foreign gene. A further object is to obtain a fermentative yeast that is resistant to proliferation inhibitors such as organic acids, which prevent the proliferation of the fermentative yeast. Meyerozyma guilliermondii that can produce ethanol effectively from pentose and hexose was isolated by breeding. Moreover, resistance was imparted to the fermentative yeast by introducing transaldolase and alcohol dehydrogenase genes derived from Meyerozyma guilliermondii into the fermentative yeast.

Abstract: Provided is a highly efficient ethanol-fermentative yeast having high efficiency in ethanol production without introducing a foreign gene. The highly efficient ethanol-fermentative yeast is a fermentative yeast that effectively produces ethanol from pentose and hexose and is deposited to NITE Patent Microorganisms Depositary under the accession number NITE BP-01962.

Abstract: The present invention provides a growth method for a microbe which can enhance the growth of the microbe without removing growth inhibitors from a saccharified solution. The growth method for a microbe comprises the steps of: obtaining a mixed saccharified solution by diluting the saccharified solution containing a growth inhibitor which inhibits the growth of the microbe with a sugar solution having a smaller growth inhibitor concentration than that of the saccharified solution such that the growth inhibitor concentration is decreased; and allowing the microbe to grow by adding the microbe to the mixed saccharified solution.
