Sucrose holds a promising role as an alternative raw material to fossil fuels for goods manufacturing in industrial fields such as chemical and liquid fuels, particularly owing its low cost and high energy content. Sucrose metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is driven by the enzyme invertase - which is coded by genes of the SUC gene family - that catalyzes the hydrolysis of this disacc…
Yeast glycolysis is the central pathway to relevant biobased building blocks. Its regulation has been subject to decades of research - nevertheless engineering strategies to increase the glycolytic flux have failed. Interestingly, the glycolytic rate of native and industrial strains is higher on sucrose compared to glucose. In spite of these findings, sucrose metabolism in Saccharomyces c…
