Ethanol genetically engineered

Conversions of primary feedstocks by fermentations (such as glucose to ethanol) are not included in this book. However, fermentations are usually required to produce the enzymes or cells in the first place, and therefore chapter 5 includes a review of this type of fermentation. Chapter 5 also covers the other aspects of biocatalyst production, except immobilization and protein and genetic engineering, which are treated in chapter 6 and 7, respectively.

The genetically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae 424A (LNH-ST) was used for fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates to ethanol. S. cerevisiae 424A (LNH-ST) was constructed by integrating multiple copies of XD, XR, and XK into the chromosomes of S. cerevisiae ATCC 4124 accord-...

The rules that have always governed the use of ethanol, government policy favoring one agricultural raw material over another, the new constraints that limit the marketing of genetically engineered products—all these factors serve to remind those interested in the... 

As discussed earlier in this chapter, enzymes are the basis for yeast conversion of hexose (six-carbon) sugars, such as glucose and mannose, to ethanol. These enzymes also could be genetically engineered to improve the efficiency of alcohol production several biotechnology firms are exploring this possibility.
