A MODIFIED YEAST STRAIN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE DEVLEELA-1 AND METHOD OF PRODUCING HIGH ETHANOL AT HIGHER TEMPERATURE BY MODIFIED YEAST STRAIN

摘要

The present invention relates to a modified yeast strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae having MCC accession number 0069 with osmo- tolerant, thermo-tolerant, ethanol tolerant and self-flocculation properties. Further, the present invention relates to a method for obtaining modified yeast strain. The present invention also relates to a method of production of ethanol at high temperature using said yeast strain. The ethanol produced by the method disclosed in the present invention is used as fuel.
