Improved xylose utilization and ethanol fermentation performance with ultracentrifugation-assisted adaptive evolution of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most widely used microorganism for industrial ethanol fermentation, but its limited xylose assimilation capacity remains a major bottleneck for efficient cellulosic ethanol production. In this study, repeated ultracentrifugation was incorporated as a physical perturbation into an adaptiv...
