Resumo
Butanol is a biofuel considered to be the best substitute for gasoline when compared to ethanol. The production of n-butanol from S. cerevisiae is still a challenge due to the low final concentration produced and low tolerance to this alcohol. The objective of this project was to select wild-type strains of S. cerevisiae tolerant to the presence of n-butanol, to carry out evolutionary engineering tests, aiming to increase the tolerance to n-butanol, and to characterize the selected colonies. Two strains were studied, and colonies more tolerant to n-butanol were obtained through evolutionary engineering.
