TY - JOUR AU - Kricka, William AU - Fitzpatrick, James AU - Bond, Ursula PY - 2014 M3 - Review TI - Metabolic engineering of yeasts by heterologous enzyme production for degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose from biomass: a perspective JO - Frontiers in Microbiology UR - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2014.00174 VL - 5 SN - 1664-302X N2 - This review focuses on current approaches to metabolic engineering of ethanologenic yeast species for the production of bioethanol from complex lignocellulose biomass sources. The experimental strategies for the degradation of the cellulose and xylose-components of lignocellulose are reviewed. Limitations to the current approaches are discussed and novel solutions proposed. ER -
