Described herein arestrains MBG5038 and MBG5012 deposited under the Budapest Treaty and having accession Nos. NRRL Y67549 and NRRL Y67700, respectively, or a derivatives of strains NRRL Y67549 or Y67700 which exhibit one or more properties or defining characteristics ofstrains MBG5038 or MBG5012. 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.

The present invention relates to processes for producing ethanol from starch-containing material using ayeast deposited under Accession No. V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 at National Measurement Institute, Victoria, Australia) or a fermenting organism strain having properties that are about the same as that of the depositedstrain or a derivative ofstrain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 having the defining characteristics of strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037. The invention also relates toyeast deposited under the Budapest Treaty and having NMI accession no. V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 or a derivative of strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037 which exhibits one or more properties or defining characteristics of strain V15/004035, V15/004036 or V15/004037. The invention also relates to compositions comprising ayeast of the invention and naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring components.

yeast strains and methods of use thereof

The invention relates to improved processes of producing ethanol from starch-containing material wherein saccharification and/or fermentation is done at a temperature below the initial gelatinization temperature in the presence of glucoamylase and alpha-amylase, and optionally a protease and/or a cellulolytic enzyme composition; wherein the fermenting organism is ayeast strain providing a higher ethanol yield boost and lower glycerol production compared to ETHANOL RED&#x2122; under the same fermentation conditions. The invention also relates toyeast strains and derivatives thereof, as well as compositions comprising such yeast strains, suitable for use in a process of the invention.

Processes of producing ethanol using a fermenting organism

The present invention relates to methods for producingstrains that are capable of growth on xylose as a sole carbon source at a desired growth rate, (such as at least one generation per 48 hours), strains made by such methods, andstrains that grow at a growth rate of at least one generation per 48 hours using xylose as a sole carbon source for growth made by non-recombinant methods.
