Plant SWEET and Yeast MSF Transporter Capable of Transporting Difference Sugars Simultaneously

Plant SWEET and Yeast MSF Transporter Capable of Transporting Different Sugars (glucose, xylose, galactose, fructose, sucrose, xylodextrin, cellobiose, arabinose, lactose) Simultaneously [1]

Dr. Jin from the University of Illinois has developed a strain of yeast for enhanced biofuel production. Dr. Jin’s yeast expresses specific transporters which enable simultaneous use of glucose and xylose. Co-fermentation can reduce the amount of time needed for fermentation in the biofuel production process.
