Deletion of QDR genes in a bioethanol-producing yeast strain reduces propagation of contaminating lactic acid bacteria

Abstract Bacterial contaminations in yeast fermentation tanks are a recurring problem for the bioethanol production industry. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), particularly of the genus Lactobacillus, are the most common contaminants. Their proliferation can reduce fermentation efficiency or even impose p...
