Abstract
The second-generation ethanol industry is based on the fermentation of xylose, which is present in lignocellulosic biomass. Genetically modified strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are capable of assimilating this monosaccharide, but face unfavorable conditions typical to the industrial scale of production. The process generates inhibitors that negatively affect yeast performance and the …
