Abstract
Provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express a gene encoding an alcohol-O-acyltransferase (AAT) enzyme and a gene encoding a fatty acid synthase a subunit (FAS2) enzyme. Also provided are methods of producing fermented beverages and compositions comprising ethanol using the genetically modified yeast cells described herein.
Claims77
A genetically modified yeast cell (modified cell) comprising:
- (i) a first gene operably linked to a first promoter, wherein the first gene is a heterologous gene encoding an enzyme having alcohol-O-acyltransferase (AAT) activity;
- and
- (ii) a second gene operably linked to a second promoter, wherein the second gene encodes an enzyme having fatty acid synthase (FAS2) activity.
