The synthetic yeast project, also known as Sc2.0, will draw together expertise from around the world.
One of the aims of the project is to develop this yeast strain as a vehicle that you can put in new chemical pathways and directly manipulate it in a way that is not possible at the moment.Making more alcohol resistant strains will be very useful for that industry in terms of cost value. Also, strains that are metabolically more optimal and don’t require as much energy will be useful.
