D-Xylose fermentation to ethanol bySchizosaccharomyces pombe cloned with xylose isomerase gene [PDF]
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.
