ETHANOL-RESISTANT YEAST GENE, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene involved in ethanol resistance, a yeast strain transformed by using the same, and a use thereof. The yeast strain of the present invention can grow in a high concentration of ethanol, preferably in 6-15% ethanol, and can grow in high osmotic conditions, preferably in 30-40% glucose or sucrose. The present invention will be used in a more effective production of ethanol by inventing a strain showing resistance to a high concentration of glucose and ethanol. In addition, the strain will be practical as a super-strain of highly efficient ethanol production, having resistance to various stresses generated in a bioethanol production process.
