Screening of non- Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for tolerance to formic acid in bioethanol fermentation

Formic acid is one of the major inhibitory compounds present in hydrolysates derived from lignocellulosic materials, the presence of which can significantly hamper the efficiency of converting available sugars into bioethanol. This study investigated the potential for screening formic acid tolerance...
