Engineering proton-coupled hexose uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for improved ethanol yield
Background: In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely applied for industrial bioethanol production, uptake of hexoses is mediated by transporters with a facilitated diffusion mechanism. In anaerobic cultures, a higher ethanol yield can be achieved when transport of hexoses is proton-cou...
