摘要
Pachysolen tannophilus was the first yeast discovered capable of significant ethanol production from xylose and has served as a model for studies of other yeasts mediating this conversion. Current knowledge about biochemical pathways involved in xylose utilization by this yeast is reviewed. Factors involved in regulating carbon flow to products are discussed in conjunction with process considerations for optimizing ethanol accumulation. Finally, the prospect of more efficient ethanol production through genetic strain improvement is considered.
