Background

Yeast offers remarkable potential for bioethanol and biodiesel production due to its intrinsic capacity to ferment sugars into biofuels. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a commonplace strain of yeast, plays a significant role in the production of first-generation bioethanol by breaking down simple sugars such as glucose and fructose. This process, renowned as ethanol fermentation, leverages the innate metabolic capabilities of the yeast to yield biofuel. Similarly, Yarrowia lipolytica, a strain known for its oleaginous characteristics, has been earmarked for biodiesel production. This yeast strain, when subjected to nitrogen starvation, accumulates long-chain fatty acids which can be converted into biodiesel.

Embracing advanced genetic and metabolic engineering techniques can further enhance these yeast strains' biofuel production rate, substrate range, and stress tolerance. Glycogen synthase, fatty acid synthase, and alcohol dehydrogenase genes, among others, can be modified to boost biofuel productivity. Thus, yeast serves as a promising biological catalyst for biofuel production, heralding a sustainable solution to the global energy crisis.
