ABSTRACT:
The invention provides methods and materials related to the production of lactic acid. Specifically, the invention provides methods for producing lactic acid using a crabtree-negative yeast, such as of theKluyveromyces, Pichia, Candida, TrichosporonandYamadazmyagenera, which have been transformed with a lactate dehydrogenase gene.
