Abstract
Cellobiose is a disaccharide present in the context of a second-generation (2G) biorefinery, which employs lignocelullosic raw materials for the production of bio-based fuels and chemicals. The fuel ethanol industry currently uses the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the microbial platform for the production of ethanol via fermentation. However, S. cerevisiae is not able to naturally met…
