Yeast capable of fermenting starch directly...wonder if this could be of application for our purposes?

If you read in the discussion of the paper, it says "Our results and those obtained by De Mot et al. suggest that amylolytic yeasts cannot be used for the direct alcoholic fermentation of starch in alcohol factories at this time."
