Title:
GPD-YEAST STRAINS WITH IMPROVED OSMOTOLERANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/180820
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Yeast cell that is genetically modified comprising: a) a deletion or disruption of one or more nucleotide sequence selected from the group of GPD1, GPD2, GPP1 and GPP2 and b) presence of one or more heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a NAD+-dependent acetylating acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.2.1.10.), wherein the yeast cell has an osmotolerance of 0.5 OsM or more.
