This review summarizes progress in the construction of efficient yeast ethanol producers
from glucose/sucrose and lignocellulose. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the major industrial …

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. In yeasts,
peroxisomes play important roles in cell metabolism, especially in different catabolic …

Nanozymes—functional materials that possess intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics—have
gained tremendous attention in recent years owing to their unique advantages; however …

Background Efficient xylose alcoholic fermentation is one of the key to a successful
lignocellulosic ethanol production. However, regulation of this process in the native xylose …

One strategy to increase the yield of desired fermentation products is to redirect substrate
carbon from biomass synthesis. Nongenetic approaches to alter metabolism may have …

Production of fuel ethanol is one of the largest fields of industrial biotechnology. Currently,
most of fuel ethanol is produced from conventional feedstock (first-generation ethanol); …

Since the public awareness for climate change has risen, increasing scientific effort has
been made to find and develop alternative resources and production processes to reduce …

Biodiesel production is a fast-growing industry. Biodiesel is obtained through
transesterification of different kinds of oils with methanol. This process results in a formation …

The generation of the whole-cell biocatalyst is possible by displaying proteins and/or
peptides on the cell surface of yeast or bacteria by genetic engineering. This process is …
