1. A recombinant yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chosen from XYLUSM125 (deposition number CBS 102679 at Centraalbureau voor Scimmelcultures in Baarn, The Netherlands) and XYLUSM145 (deposition number CBS 102680 at Centraalbureau voor Scimmelcultures in Baarn, The Netherlands), wherein said yeast can grow in a minimum nutrient containing xylose as a sole carbon source and can ferment non-detoxified hydrolysate lignocellulosic raw material.
