Development and characterization of efficient xylose utilization strains of Zymomonas mobilis
Background Efficient use of glucose and xylose is a key for the economic production of lignocellulosic biofuels and biochemicals, and different recombinant strains have been constructed for xylose utilization including those using Zymomonas mobilis as ...

Biochemical routes for uptake and conversion of xylose by microorganisms
Xylose is a major component of lignocellulose and the second most abundant sugar present in nature. Efficient utilization of xylose is required for the development of economically viable processes to produce biofuels and chemicals from biomass.

Xylose metabolism in the pig. [PDF]
It is important to understand if, and to what extent, the pig can utilize xylose as an energy source if xylanase releases free xylose in the small intestine.

Comparing the xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase and xylose isomerase pathways in arabinose and xylose fermenting
Background Ethanolic fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable option for the production of bioethanol. This process would greatly benefit from recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains also able to ferment, besides the hexose sugar ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae under xylose pressure: the growth adaptation, antimicrobial susceptibility, global proteomics analysis and role of XylA and XylB proteins [PDF]
Klebsiella pneumoniae can be cultured in medium with xylose as the sole carbon source. However, the effect of xylose exposure on its growth adaptation, virulence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and proteomic response remain unclear. Here, we show that low

Xylose: absorption, fermentation, and post-absorptive metabolism in the pig
Xylose, as β-1,4-linked xylan, makes up much of the hemicellulose in cell walls of cereal carbohydrates fed to pigs. As inclusion of fibrous ingredients in swine diets continues to increase, supplementation of carbohydrases, such as xylanase, is of ...

Engineering Xylose Isomerase and Reductase Pathways in Yarrowia lipolytica for Efficient Lipid Production [PDF]
Xylose is a common monosaccharide in lignocellulosic residues that Yarrowia lipolytica cannot naturally metabolise for lipid production and therefore, heterologous xylose metabolic pathways must be engineered in this yeast to facilitate its consumption ...
