Summary:An object of the present invention is to obtain fermentative yeast having highly efficient ethanol production without introducing a foreign gene. A further object is to obtain a fermentative yeast that is resistant to proliferation inhibitors such as organic acids, which prevent the proliferation of the fermentative yeast. Meyerozyma guilliermondii that can produce ethanol effectively from pentose and hexose was isolated by breeding. Moreover, resistance was imparted to the fermentative yeast by introducing transaldolase and alcohol dehydrogenase genes derived from Meyerozyma guilliermondii into the fermentative yeast.
