l-Lactic acid production from glucose and xylose with engineered strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: aeration and carbon source influence yields and productivities

Abstract Background Saccharomyces cerevisiae, engineered for l-lactic acid production from glucose and xylose, is a promising production host for lignocellulose-to-lactic acid processes. However, the two principal engineering strategies—pyruvate-to-lactic acid conversion with and without disruption...
