Engineered yeast strains for secretion of antibacterial agents in biofuel ferments
FY 2018-19 · 2018-05-01
Summary
Bacterial contamination in commercial ethanol fermentations can decrease ethanol yield and negatively impact the economics of ethanol production. Currently, antibiotics are used to prevent bacterial infections in ethanol fermentations, which is costly and can lead to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Our goal is to develop a method for producing an antibacterial yeast strain that can be used in ethanol fermentations without the addition of antibiotics.

Description (French)
La contamination bactérienne pendant la fermentation commerciale d’éthanol peut réduire le rendement d'éthanol et avoir un impact négatif sur la rentabilité de la production d’éthanol. À l’heure actuelle, les antibiotiques sont utilisés pour prévenir les infections bactériennes pendant la fermentation d’éthanol, ce qui est coûteux et peut mener à l’émergence de bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques. Notre objectif est de développer une méthode pour produire une souche de levure antibactérienne, qui peut être utilisé pendant la fermentation d'éthanol sans l’ajout d’antibiotiques.
