Abstract
It is to provide a noveltransformant having thermotolerance and flocculation property, suitable for the industrial production of bioethanol, by introducing a foreign flocculation gene into, and an efficient method for producing the transformant. The present inventors focused on the flocculation gene FLO ofas a foreign gene to confer flocculation property toand produced a linear DNA fragment comprising a known expression promoter sequence and a FLO gene sequence derived from. As a result of introducing this linear DNA fragment into, the present inventors have confirmed thattransformant can be obtained efficiently, and that the flocculation property of the above transformant is unexpectedly and significantly enhanced. The present invention has been thus completed.
