Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing ethanol by efficiently, using xylose with a microorganism. SOLUTION: The method for producing ethanol comprises a step of carrying out fermentation with the microorganism capable of assimilating glucose and xylose, in the presence of an enzyme degrading a saccharide in a culture medium containing the saccharide composed of the two or more glucoses and the xylose. Furthermore, a yeast usefully used in the method is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
