Abstract
Yeast strains are disclosed that are capable of surviving high ethanol concentrations and propagating in high ethanol concentrations. Genes that are involved in ethanol tolerance are disclosed as well.
Claims12
A yeast strain of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae being capable of surviving 15% (V/V) ethanol stress for at least 5 hours and capable of propagating under 9.5% (V/V) ethanol stress for at least 22 hours, the strain having a mutation of A to G in YJR154W gene at position 726,760 of chromosome 10.
