Abstract: Described herein are fermention organisms, such as yeasts, comprising a genetic modification that increases or decreases expression of a transporter or regulator thereof, such as yeasts that express the FOT2 and FOTX transporters of SEQ ID NOs: 163 and 164. Also described are processes for producing a fermentation product, such as ethanol, from starch or cellulosic-containing material with the fermenting organisms.
