A recombinant yeast cell functionally expressing: a) a heterologous nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having ribulose-1,5-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity (EC4.1.1.39; Rubisco), a heterologous nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having phosphoribulokinase activity (EC2.7.1.19; PRK) and optionally one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding for molecular chaperones for the protein having ribulose-1,5-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity; and b) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having transketolase activity (EC 2.2.1.1), wherein the expression of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein having transketolase activity is under control of a promoter (the "TKL promoter"), which TKL promoter has an anaerobic/aerobic expression ratio for the transketolase of 2 or more.
