Abstract

The present disclosure concerns recombinant microbial host cell having, in glycolytic conditions, increased glycerol importing activity glycerol as well as, in high osmotic conditions, a decreased NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) activity. The recombinant microbial host cell is particularly useful for the fermentation of sugarcane- or molasses-based medium for the production of ethanol.
