Abstract:
Disclosed herein are materials and methods for creating and/or isolating variants of yeasts especially variants of  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  that can grow on sugars other than D-glucose in the presence of amounts of 2-deoxy-glucose and or D-glucose that inhibit most strains of yeast from growing on sugars other than D-glucose. Selection media that can be used to isolate such variants include pentose sugars such as D-xylose, L-glutamine and 2-deoxy-glucose. Mutations in the Grr1 and Red genes in some strains also produce variants that can grow on sugars including the pentose D-xylose in the presence of 2-deoxy-glucose.

Claim (Index 43):
A method of fermenting a sugar source, comprising the steps of: providing at least one strain of  Saccharomyces cerevisiae,  wherein yeast of the at least one strain of  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  are deficient in a gene product of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of GRR1, REG1, and HXK2, and wherein the at least one strain of  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  is Fermentis Ethanol Red, and will grow on at least one pentose sugar in the presence of at least 0.03 wt. % 2-deoxy-glucose; and supplying a feed stock that includes at least one sugar; and growing said yeast strain the feed stock.
