Abstract

We prepared eight recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisae strains, including three strains generated in this study that were produced by chromosomal integration of xylose utilization pathway enzymes genes. Among these strains, MA-R4 was the most efficient at producing ethanol from rice straw enzymatic hydrolysate, indicating that it is a superior strain for bioethanol production.
