  1. The xylose utilising Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain H3675 (MATα his3 leu2 trp1 ura3::XYL1-XYL2 xks1::XKS1 MAL2-8c SUC2), a modified VTT C-10880, [CEN.PK113-1A [50]], was used as a parent strain for all S. cerevisiae glycolic acid production strains. The Kluyveromyces lactis strain H3954 [KHO69-8C (MATα ura3 leu2 his3::loxP ku80::loxP)] [51] was used as a parent strain for all K. lactis glycolic acid production strains.
