EXPRESSION CARTRIDGE FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS, GENETICALLY MODIFIED MICRO-ORGANISM WITH EFFICIENT XYLOSE CONSUMPTION, METHOD FOR PRODUCING BIOFUELS AND/OR BIOCHEMICALS, AND THUS PRODUCED BIOFUEL AND/OR BIOCHEMICAL AND/OR ETHANOL

摘要

The present invention provides technical solutions for the production of second generation fuels based on plant biomass conversion, for example from cell wall polymers. The present invention describes, inter alia, a genetically modified micro-organism with efficient fermentation performance when converting sugars present in plant biomass into biochemicals and/or biofuels, and with efficient resistance to the inhibitors generated during the biomass processing steps leading to the production of sugars, in particular acetic acid, thus improving its performance on an industrial scale. The present invention also relates to the method for producing biofuels and/or biochemicals using the micro-organism described in the present document, and to the thus obtained biofuels and/or biochemicals and products.
