The present invention describes the expression cassette for transforming eukaryotic cell which comprises the peptide encoding non-natural sequence of nucleotides with xylose isomerase feature (SEQ ID NO: 1), optionally also comprising other genes of pentose phosphate route. Additionally, it is described the microorganism filed under the number DSM28739, which, in addition to the above-mentioned modifications, also present genetic modifications from adaptive evolution. The described microorganism shows efficient consumption of xylose and conversion of ethanol when compared to its correspondent without said genetic modifications and mutations from evolution. It is also described the process for producing biofuels e biochemicals, preferably ethanol, mainly from the lignocellulosic portion of the vegetal biomass. Biofuels, preferably ethanol, and biochemicals produced by the process of the invention are also described.
A genetically modified microorganism, wherein the genetically modified organism is Saccharomyces cerevisiae DSM28739.
A method of genetically modifying a yeast belonging to a yeast genus, said method comprising introducing a sequence of nucleotides encoding a peptide with xylose isomerase function, into said yeast;
