The Weimberg pathway: an alternative for Myceliophthora thermophila to utilize d-xylose
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 Background With d-xylose being the second most abundant sugar in nature, its conversion into products could significantly improve biomass-based process economy. There are two well-studied phosphorylative pathways for d-xylose metabolism. One is isomerase

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.

PRODUCTION OF XYLOSE REDUCTASE AND XYLITOL BY Candida guilliermondii USING WHEAT STRAW HYDROLYSATES
The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science, 2020 The objective of this study is to evaluate the production of Xylose reductase (XR) and Xylitol by Candida guilliermondii using wheat straw hydrolysates (WSH) supplemented with 2.0 g/l of (NH4)2SO4 and 0.1 g/l of CaCl2.2H2O as fermentation media . Wheat

Hemicellulose hydrolysis catalysed by solid acids [PDF]
, 2013 Depolymerising hemicellulose into platform sugar molecules is a key step in developing the concept of an integrated biorefinery. This reaction is traditionally catalysed by either enzymes or homogeneous mineral acids.

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.

Proteomic analysis of the secretory response of Aspergillus niger to D-maltose and D-xylose [PDF]
, 2011 Fungi utilize polysaccharide substrates through extracellular digestion catalyzed by secreted enzymes. Thus far, protein secretion by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger has mainly been studied at the level of individual proteins and by genome and ...

Novel strategies to improve co-fermentation of pentoses with D-glucose by recombinant yeast strains in lignocellulosic hydrolysates [PDF]
, 2012 Economically feasible production of second-generation biofuels requires efficient co-fermentation of pentose and hexose sugars in lignocellulosic hydrolysates under very harsh conditions. Baker’s yeast is an excellent, traditionally used ethanol producer
