Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are representative inhibitors to ethanologenic yeast generated from biomass pretreatment using dilute acid hydrolysis. Few yeast strains tolerant to inhibitors are available. A novel tolerant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae , NRRL Y-50049, having enhanced biotransformation ability to convert furfural to furan methanol (FM), HMF to furan di-methanol (FDM), and is able to produce a normal yield of ethanol as an initial culture.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The embodiment of the invention in which exclusive property or privilege is claimed is defined as follows: 1. An isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain having been deposited with the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Patent Culture Collection as Accession No. NRRL Y-50049, wherein said Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain is capable of in situ detoxification of said furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural via aldehyde reduction while producing ethanol.…
