Recombinant yeast expressing AGT1

摘要

The present invention relates to the identification of variants of the sugar transporter AGT1 that provide enhanced fermentation of oligosaccharides when recombinantly expressed in yeast. The invention further relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants, recombinant yeast cells expressing the variants, and use of the recombinant yeast cells to ferment oligosaccharides.
