Described herein are new approaches for the selection of S. cerevisiae strains with increased ethanol production from hydrolyzed starch derived sugars. An industrial production strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae AS400 was subjected to positive selection of mutants resistant to toxic concentrations of oxythiamine, trehalose, 3-bromopyruvate, glyoxylic acid, and glucosamine. The selected mutants are characterized by 5-8% increase in ethanol yield (g g−1 of consumed glucose) as compared to the parental industrial ethanol-producing strain. A multiple-step selection approach that consisted of the sequential selection using glyoxylic acid, glucosamine and bromopyruvate as selective agents resulted in a 12% increase in ethanol yield during fermentation on industrial media. These results indicate that the selection methods provided herein are useful for producing a variety of strains that are promising candidates for industrial ethanol production.

水解淀粉衍生的糖中选择
乙醇产量更高的酿酒酵母菌株的新方法。对一株工业化生产的酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)AS400 进行了正向选择,选出了对有毒浓度的氧
硫胺、曲哈糖、
3-溴丙酮酸、
乙醛酸和
氨基葡萄糖具有抗性的突变体。与亲本工业
乙醇生产菌株相比,所选突变体的
乙醇产量(消耗的
葡萄糖克重)提高了 5-8%。通过使用
乙醛酸、
氨基葡萄糖和
溴丙酮酸作为选择剂进行多步选择,工业
培养基发酵过程中的
乙醇产量提高了 12%。这些结果表明,本文提供的选择方法可用于生产各种菌株,这些菌株有望用于工业
乙醇生产。
