D-Xylose fermentation to ethanol bySchizosaccharomyces pombe cloned with xylose isomerase gene [PDF]
Biotechnology Letters, 1986 Schizosaccharomycespombe cloned with the xylose isomerase gene from E. coli is able to grow on YNB and YMP broths containing xylose as the sole carbon source. This yeast can ferment D-xylose to ethanol directly; however, the ethanol production rate and the yield were dependent on the nitrogen source.
