Abstract:
1. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain expressing both arabinose and xylose utilization pathways fermenting both arabinose and xylose to ethanol, wherein the genes for the arabinose pathway are the Bacillus subtilis araA gene, the Escherichia coli araB gene and the Escherichia coli araD gene, and the genes for xylose utilization pathway are the Pichia stipitis gene encoding xylose reductase, the Pichia stipitis gene encoding xylitol reductase and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene encoding xylulokinase, wherein said strain is Saccharomyces cerevisiae BWY2 deposited on Feb. 10, 2005 under deposition number DSM 17120 at the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen (DSMZ), or Saccharomyces cerevisiae TMB 3061 deposited on Apr. 6, 2005 under deposition number DSM 17238 at the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen (DSMZ).
