Abstract

See full text

Provided is a novel method of producing ethanol by using a cellulose-based biomass as a raw material. In particular, provided is a novel method of producing ethanol by which ethanol can be effectively produced in the presence of a substance having an inhibitory action on fermentation of ethanol. Ethanol can be effectively produced by using a microorganism engineered to suppress the expression of at least one kind of phosphatase among the phosphatases intrinsically possessed by the microorganism, even under a condition where a substance that has heretofore been believed to have a fermentation inhibitory action, specifically, a weakly acidic substance and/or a furan compound are/is incorporated.
