Abstract
Increasing tolerance to butanol in yeast has been accomplished by increasing activity of the high osmolarity/glycerol response pathway. Yeast with increased expression of PBS2p, a mitogen activated protein kinase kinase of the MAPK module of the high osmolarity/glycerol response pathway may be used for improved butanol production.
