1. 1. Evaluation of isobutanol tolerance and gene expression in four different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for the development of bio-butanol production

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Author : Rebecka Heinrup; [2016]
   Keywords : Biofuels; Isobutanol; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Tolerance; RPN4; RTG1; ILV2;

   Abstract : Today, most transportation fuels are derived from crude oil. However, fossil fuels are limited resources and contribute to climate change, and are therefore not considered as sustainable. Biofuels are highly relevant candidates for replacing fossil fuels and research has gone into butanol as a biofuel. READ MORE
