Also described are compositions comprising theyeast and naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring components, as well as are processes for producing ethanol from starch-containing material using the strains.

Yeast for ethanol production

Described herein are processes for producing ethanol from starch-containing material using astrain MBG4985 (deposited under Accession No. NRRL Y67342 at the Agricultural Research Service Patent Culture Collection (NR-RL), Northern Regional Research Center, 1815 University Street, Peoria, Ill., USA) or a fermenting organism strain having properties that are about the same as that of the depositedstrain or a derivative ofstrain MBG4985 (e.g., a recombinant derivative expressing an alpha-amylase and/or a glucoamylase) having the defining characteristics of strainyeast MBG4985. Also described isstrain MBG4985 deposited under the Budapest Treaty and having accession No. NRRL Y67342 or a derivative of strain NRRL Y67342 which exhibits one or more properties or defining characteristics of strainstrain MBG4985. Also described are compositions comprising theyeast and naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring components.
