Background Following cellulose, chitin is the most abundant renewable resource and is composed of the monomeric amino sugar N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc). Although many yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have lost their ability to utilize GlcNAc, some yeasts are able to use GlcNAc as a carbon source. However, our understanding of the effects of GlcNAc on the intracellular metabolism of...
N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) is the building block of chitin, which is one of the most abundant renewable resources in nature after cellulose. Therefore, a microorganism that can utilize GlcNAc is necessary for chitin-based biorefinery. In this study, we report on the screening and characterization of yeast strains for bioethanol production from GlcNAc. We demonstrate that Scheffersomyces (Pichia...
