Variable and dose-dependent response of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts toward lignocellulosic hydrolysate inhibitors

Statement of the Problem:

Deepening the understanding of the microbial physiology and particularities of these types of yeasts proves essential for the development of different bioprocesses.

The Biotechnological potential of non-conventional yeasts has been evaluated in different bioprocesses involving the use of biomass as a way to obtain different products such as xylitol and ethanol.

Methodology and Theoretical Orientation:

Non-conventional yeasts of the group non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from decaying wood and Cerrado Soil samples and identified and cataloged in the Embrapa Agroenergy database through the work of Trinchez et al., (2019) and Soares et al., (2021).

This yeast was selected to assess possible biotechnological potential in relation to tolerance to inhibitory compounds that are formed and/or present in lignocellulosic hydrolysate.
