Sucrose is an abundant, easy to assimilate and cheap carbon source. Moreover, sucrose phosphorolysis could increase the ATP conservation, widening the feasibility space for anaerobic bioprocesses. However, using the currently known mechanisms, the uptake of sucrose costs energy, impedes the sucrose phosphorolysis or depends on a sucrose gradient between the medium and the cytoplasm. A pos…
Production of biofuels from lignocellulosic (LC) residues should be fuelling the energy matrix in the near future. Yeasts will play an important role as platform microorganisms for the conversion processes of LC-derived sugars into, for instance, fuel ethanol but also other advanced fuels and chemicals. Fermentation of LC hydrolysates poses many scientific and technological challenges. Fo…
Green chemistry is a field of study focused on metabolic and bioprocess engineering for the production of various molecules. Employing genetically modified microorganisms, it turns feasible the sustainable synthesis of high-value compounds. One of these compounds is geraniol (3,7-dimethyl-trans-2,6-octadien-1-ol), which is a monoterpene used in many products as a fragrance and which prese…
The burning of fossil fuels is responsible for 73% of the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect and global warming. The production of biofuels from lignocellulosic (LC) waste can supply the energy matrix in the near future. However, the fermentation of LC hydrolysates encompasses many scientific and technological challenges. Pretreatment processes generate …
The world's population has practically doubled in the last fifty years, increasing energy consumption due to the development of new technologies and industrial processes, which are based on an energy matrix derived from fossil fuels. Among biofuels, ethanol produced from sugarcane is widely used as a fuel and, additionally, it is also used as a blend in gasoline in its anhydrous form. The…
There is an ever-increasing need for reducing unit operation costs used in the industrial fermentation for beer production. Special emphasis in given on how these strategies would impact brewing yeast physiology. In this context, cell immobilization is an interesting strategy, since it might reduce the steps required for cell biomass separation from the fermented broth in the cell recycli…

Extreme conditions are expected during sugarcane ethanol production that make the process difficultto be modelled. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells deal with many stressful factors during fermentation,such as high-cell density, inhibitory compounds, lack of essential nutrients, non-aseptic conditions,and high temperature. Despite a substantial number of studies regarding the development ofm…
