Many nonconventional yeast species have highly desirable features that are not possessed
by model yeasts, despite that significant technology hurdles to effectively manipulate them
lay in front. Scheffersomyces stipitis is one of the most important exemplary nonconventional
yeasts in biorenewables industry, which has a high native xylose utilization capacity. Recent
study suggested its much better potential than Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a well-suited
microbial biomanufacturing platform for producing high-value compounds derived from …
