Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of Agave tequilana fructans by Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast for bioethanol and tequila production

Agave tequilana fructans (ATF) constitute a substrate for bioethanol and tequila industries. As Kluyveromyces marxianus produces specific fructanases for ATF hydrolysis, as well as ethanol, it can perform simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.
