Use of a modified alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH1, promoter in construction of diacetyl non-producing brewer's yeast
摘要
The bacterial gene, encoding α-acetolactate decarboxylase (α-ALDC), was expressed in a bottom-fermenting brewer's yeast under the control of a modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH1) promoter which lacks the upstream regions from −800 bp to −1500 bp. In pilot scale brewing conditions, the level of α-ALDC active brewer's yeast strains were also shown to be suitable for high gravity brewing.
