ABSTRACT
Kluyveromyces marxianus is a non-Saccharomyces yeast that has gained importance due to its great potential to be used in the food and biotechnology industries. In general, K. marxianus is a known yeast for its ability to assimilate hexoses and pentoses; even this yeast can grow in disaccharides such as sucrose and lactose and polysaccharides such as agave fructans. Otherwise, K. marxianus is an excellent microorganism to produce metabolites of biotechnological interest, such as enzymes, ethanol, aroma compounds, organic acids, and single-cell proteins. However, several studies highlighted the metabolic trait variations among the K. marxianus strains, suggesting genetic diversity within the species that determines its metabolic functions; this diversity can be attributed to its high adaptation capacity against stressful environments. The outstanding metabolic characteristics of K. marxianus have motivated this yeast to be a study model to evaluate its easy adaptability to several environments. This chapter will discuss overview characteristics and applications of K. marxianus and recent insights into the stress response and adaptation mechanisms used by this non-Saccharomyces yeast.
