Weak acids are known to have a negative impact on yeast performance, restraining production efficiency during the production of bioethanol and other fermentative yeast-derived products. These acids, which might be hydrophilic or lipophilic exert negative effects on yeasts when they diffuse into the cell in their unionized state as a result of their pH being lower than the pka of yeast growth medium. Consequently, the unionized acids dissociate into their respective cations and anions, as intracellular pH is typically neutral. Further, proton accumulation tends to reduce intracellular pH. As a result, the anions destabilize the internal cell machinery, thus affecting cellular metabolism on various levels. Overcoming this acid-mediated stress in budding yeast would in part, harness the potential of using lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate - which is typically acetic acid-rich - as a cheaper feedstock for large-scale bioethanol production. Since organic acids are key intermediates in ethanol fermentation, this review focuses on the prospects of bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass using weak acid-tolerant strains of yeasts derived by metabolic engineering.
