GENETICALLY MODIFIED YEAST OF THE SPECIES ISSATCHENKIA ORIENTALIS AND CLOSELY RELATED SPECIES AND FERMENTATION PROCESSES USING SAME

摘要

Cells of the species Issatchenkia orientalis and closely related yeast species are transformed with a vector to introduce an exogenous lactate dehydrogenase gene. The cells produce lactic acid efficiently and are resistant at low pH, high lactate titer conditions.
