CA 2301876

The invention relates to methods of producing ethanol and yeast cells that may be used according to the method. Said method comprising growing respiratory deficient yeast cells (such as K1.DELTA.pet191ab described herein) which have at least one nuclear gene, or product thereof, required for respiration which is non-functional and/or inhibited in a growth medium. The method may be used in the production of fuel ethanol or for the production of alcoholic drinks.

L'invention concerne des procédés de production d'éthanol et des cellules de levure pouvant être utilisées conformément à ce procédé. Ledit procédé consiste à cultiver des cellules de levure à déficience respiratoire (telles que les K1.DELTA.pet191ab décrites dans le descriptif) qui possèdent au moins un gène nucléaire, ou un produit de ce gène. Ce gène nécessaire à la respiration est non fonctionnel et/ou inhibé dans un milieu de croissance. Ce procédé peut être utilisé pour produire de l'éthanol utilisé comme carburant ou des boissons alcoolisées.
