Engineering of xylose reductase and overexpression of xylitol dehydrogenase and xylulokinase improves xylose alcoholic fermentation in the thermotolerant yeast <it>Hansenula polymorpha</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast <it>Hansenula polymorpha </it>is capable of alcoholic fermentation of xylose at elevated temperatures (45 – 48°C). Such property of this yeast defines it as a good candidate for the...
