Abstract
Increasing tolerance to butanol in yeast has been accomplished by increasing activity of the filamentous growth response. Yeast with increased expression of MSS11p, a transcriptional activator of the filamentous growth response pathway had increased tolerance to isobutanol. These yeast may be used for improved butanol production.
