Journal ArticleDOI
What do we know about the yeast strains from the Brazilian fuel ethanol industry
Bianca Eli Della-Bianca,Thiago Olitta Basso,Thiago Olitta Basso,Boris U. Stambuk,Luiz Carlos Basso,Andreas Karoly Gombert +5 more
TL;DR: The production of fuel ethanol from sugarcane-based raw materials in Brazil is a successful example of a large-scale bioprocess that delivers an advanced biofuel at competitive prices and low environmental impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sucrose and Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a relationship most sweet
Wesley Leoricy Marques,Wesley Leoricy Marques,Vijayendran Raghavendran,Boris U. Stambuk,Andreas Karoly Gombert,Andreas Karoly Gombert +5 more
TL;DR: This minireview is focused on sucrose metabolism in S. cerevisiae, a rather unexplored subject in the scientific literature and metabolic engineering efforts to alter sucrose catabolism are presented in a chronological manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spathaspora arborariae sp. nov., a d-xylose-fermenting yeast species isolated from rotting wood in Brazil.
Raquel M. Cadete,Renata O. Santos,Monaliza A. Melo,Adriane Mouro,Davi Gonçalves,Boris U. Stambuk,Fátima de Cássia Oliveira Gomes,Marc-André Lachance,Carlos A. Rosa +8 more
TL;DR: Four strains of a new yeast species were isolated from rotting wood from two sites in an Atlantic Rain Forest and a Cerrado ecosystem in Brazil and the analysis of the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rRNA gene showed that it belongs to the Spathaspora clade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering topology and kinetics of sucrose metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for improved ethanol yield
Thiago Olitta Basso,Thiago Olitta Basso,Stefan de Kok,Marcelo Goulart Dário,Marcelo Goulart Dário,Júlio Cézar A. do Espirito-Santo,Gabriela Muller,Paulo S. Schlölg,Carlos P. Silva,Aldo Tonso,Jean-Marc Daran,Andreas Karoly Gombert,Antonius J. A. van Maris,Jack T. Pronk,Boris U. Stambuk,Boris U. Stambuk +15 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that engineering the topology of sucrose metabolism is an attractive strategy to improve ethanol yields in industrial processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Industrial fuel ethanol yeasts contain adaptive copy number changes in genes involved in vitamin B1 and B6 biosynthesis
TL;DR: It is shown that increased copy number of these genes confers the ability to grow more efficiently under the repressing effects of thiamin, especially in medium lacking pyridoxine and with high sugar concentrations.
