    Abstract: Methods of identifying genes conferring ethanol tolerance in yeasts, genes that confer ethanol tolerance, and mutant strains used to identify such genes are described. A gene herein designated HpETT1 was isolated from the yeast Hansenula polymorpha. Expression of HpETT1 in an ethanol sensitive mutant H. polymorpha strain designated 7E complimented ethanol sensitivity of the mutant. When multiple copies of the HpETT1 were integrated into the genome and overexpressed, the transformed strain demonstrated approximately 10-fold greater resistance to ethanol and resistance to the protein misfolding agent AZC. Expression of HpETT1 also increased ethanol tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HpEtt1 has 39% sequence identity to a previously identified protein from S. cerevisiae denoted MPE1, however, the MPE1 gene does not confer ethanol resistance to the 7E mutant. Another gene from the yeast Pichia stipites was identified that encodes an orthologue protein having 37% identity to HpETT1 herein designated PsETT1 and also confers ethanol resistance to the 7E mutant.

    Abstract: A method to increase ethanol production from a corn dry-mill process is described that comprises adding an enzyme preparation derived from Trichoderma reesei having cellulolytic activity to a saccharification process that includes conventional alpha amylase and glucoamylase. The addition of the cellulolytic enzyme decreases viscosity of the saccharified mash and can increase ethanol yield from a dry grind fermentation by as much as 10% or more. Specific characteristics are provided to show surprising and advantageous results of one particular preparation of cellulolytic enzymes from T. reesei.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating an edible fiber source to make an animal feed with increased digestible energy. An exemplary method includes hydrolyzing the edible fiber source with an inorganic fiber hydrolyzing agent in a twin screw mixer that shears the edible fiber to a size of between 0.5 to 25 mm. The hydrolysis in the mixer occurs at pressure of about 14 psig or higher with a temperature about 100° C. to 110° C. The inorganic hydrolysis liberates a first portion of soluble carbohydrates from the edible fiber source. The inorganically hydrolyzed material is also treated (before or after) with a fiber degrading enzyme to solubilize a second portion of carbohydrates. The dually hydrolyzed material is dried to form an animal feed or feed ingredient having a soluble and insoluble carbohydrate fraction with the amount of soluble carbohydrate being at least 45% wt/wt of the total carbohydrates obtained from the edible fiber source.

    Abstract: A truncated version of Saccharomyces cerevisiae IVL2 gene encoding a cytosolic form of acetolactate synthase was cloned into an expression cassette under control of a strong constitutive alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH1) promoter. The plasmid was introduced into the S. cerevisiae strain and the recombinant strain was tested for ability to overproduce glycerol under anaerobic conditions. It was shown that the recombinant strain was characterized by increased glycerol production and decreased ethanol production under anaerobic conditions.
