Modern genetic approaches to bust yeast tolerance to lignocellulosic hydrolysates
(Saccharomyces cerevisae)
New advances in adaptive evolution protocols, QTL mapping, and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies are proposed to enhance yeast tolerance to lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Learn more...
Here we intend to engineer S. cerevisiae for the production of D-Lactic acid, a promising renewable material for production of bio-friendly plastics. Learn more...
