The fermentation of lignocellulose hydrolysates by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for ethanol production was investigated. An important problem for the successful conversion of these hydrolysates is that they often are inhibitory. The physiological effect of the furan inhibitors 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and furfural were therefore studied, and based on the results novel strains were constructed. A
