Abstract
Fuel ethanol is important as one of the perfect energy sources in the replacement of fossil energy which is being used up. The use of biomass to produce fuel ethanol by fermentation are of interest. The product yield from fuel ethanol fermentation depends on high-level expression of the genes (pdc and adhII) which affect the rate and efficiency, key factors in the catabolic pathway of ethanol fermentation. In this paper, we review catabolic pathway of ethanol fermentation, the mechanism of actions of genes pdc and adhII and their applications in ethanol production and the research progress in the metabolic engineering of the genes pdc and adhII .
Keywords: pdc, adhII, ethanol fermentation, mechanism
