Transcriptome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during solid-state fermentation of crushed sweet sorghum stalks

Bioethanol production based on solid-state fermentation (SSF) of sweet sorghum stalks has been demonstrated to have great potential due to the its low pollution and low cost. A novel S. cerevisiae diploid strain TSH3 exhibited better SSF performance compared with the commonly used laboratory strain BY4743 during SSF of sweet sorghum stalks. The objective of this project is to investigate TSH3’s advantages compared with BY4743 and the dynamics of TSH3’s transcriptome during SSF of crushed sweet sorghum stalks.
