Papapetridis, I. (author), van Dijk, M. (author), Dobbe, Arthur P A (author), Metz, B. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), van Maris, A.J.A. (author)Background: Acetic acid, an inhibitor of sugar fermentation by yeast, is invariably present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates which are used or considered as feedstocks for yeast-based bioethanol production. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains have been constructed, in which anaerobic reduction of acetic acid to ethanol replaces glycerol formation...journal article 2016

van Aalst, A.C.A. (author), de Valk, S.C. (author), van Gulik, W.M. (author), Jansen, Mickel L.A. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), Mans, R. (author)Product yield on carbohydrate feedstocks is a key performance indicator for industrial ethanol production with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This paper reviews pathway engineering strategies for improving ethanol yield on glucose and/or sucrose in anaerobic cultures of this yeast by altering the ratio of ethanol production, yeast growth...journal article 2022
