Comparing the xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase and xylose isomerase pathways in arabinose and xylose fermenting
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2008 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 ...

Nature, 1953 AN investigation of the carbohydrates present in the Victoria plum has revealed the presence of small amounts (c. 0.1 per cent fresh weight) of free xylose in the juice of ripe and immature fruits. The origin of this sugar is uncertain; it may arise from enzymic hydrolysis of a xyloside, but we consider this unlikely.

Effect of enhanced xylose reductase activity on xylose consumption and product distribution in xylose-fermenting recombinant [PDF]
FEMS Yeast Research, 2003 Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae TMB3001, harboring the Pichia stipitis genes XYL1 and XYL2 (xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase, respectively) and the endogenous XKS1(xylulokinase), can convert xylose to ethanol. About 30% of the consumed xylose, however, is excreted as xylitol.

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Efficient bioethanol production from hemicellulose feedstocks by Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires xylose utilization. Whereas S. cerevisiae does not metabolize xylose, engineered strains that express xylose isomerase can metabolize xylose by ...

Role of xylose from acidic hydrolysates of agave bagasse during biohydrogen production
Water Science and Technology, 2021 This study compares the H2 production from glucose, xylose, and acidic hydrolysates of Agave tequilana bagasse as substrates. The fermentation was performed in a granular sludge reactor operated in two phases: (1) model substrates (glucose and xylose ...
