Deletion of the MBP1 Gene, Involved in the Cell Cycle, Affects Respiration and Pseudohyphal Differentiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an especially favorable organism used for ethanol production. However, inhibitors and high osmolarity conferred by fermentation broth, and high concentrations of ethanol as fermentation runs to completion, affect cell growth and ethanol production.
