D-xylose fermentation by Schizosaccharomyces pombe cloned with xylose isomerase gene
, 1988 Renewable biomass, D-xylose, can be converted to ethanol by microbes which are screened from nature or mutagenesis. An alternative is to develop a genetically modified microorganism which possesses the gene for D-xylose utilization. The plasmid pDB248-XI

Comparative xylose metabolism among the Ascomycetes C. albicans, S. stipitis and S. cerevisiae.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The ascomycetes Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Scheffersomyces stipitis metabolize the pentose sugar xylose very differently. S. cerevisiae fails to grow on xylose, while C. albicans can grow, and S.

Microbial Cell Factories, 2019 Background There have been many successful strategies to implement xylose metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but no effort has so far enabled xylose utilization at rates comparable to that of glucose (the preferred sugar of this yeast). Many studies

Structural Analysis of Xylose Isomerase from Streptomyces avermitilis
CrystalsXylose isomerase (XI, also known as glucose isomerase) is an oxidoreductase that interconverts aldoses and ketoses. XI catalyzes the reversible isomerization of D-glucose and D-xylose into D-fructose and D-xylulose, respectively.

Overproduction of xylose isomerase in recombinant Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2006 Aspects of recombinant enzyme production were characterized in genetically engineered Escherichia coli. Five strains transformed with the xylose isomerase overproduction system (pRK248/pTXI-1) were compared, based on parameters of cell metabolism and ...

Impact of xylose and mannose on central metabolism of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2005 In this study, understanding of the central metabolism was improved by quantification of metabolite concentrations, enzyme activities, protein abundances, and gene transcript concentrations.
