Evolutionary engineering improves tolerance for medium-chain alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

BACKGROUND: Yeast-based chemical production is an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based production or processes that involve harsh chemicals. However, many potential alcohol biofuels, such as n-butanol, isobutanol and n-hexanol, are toxic to production organisms, lowering the effic...
