主权项 1. A method of increasing the yield from a reaction in which soluble sugars are a source of carbon, the method comprising incubating a microorganism with biomass pretreated with an ionic liquid, wherein the biomass pretreated with an ionic liquid provides a source of soluble sugars as a carbon source, wherein the microorganism comprises a heterologous gene encoding a Major Facilitator Superfamily 1 (MFS 1) polypeptide operably linked to a promoter, wherein said MFS 1 polypeptide has an amino acid sequence with at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, and wherein said MFS 1 polypeptide facilitates resistance of the microorganism to said ionic liquid as compared to a microorganism without said heterologous gene.
