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 ...

Engineering Xylose Isomerase for Industrial Applications
CatalystsXylose isomerase (XI), also known as glucose isomerase, is an aldose isomerase that converts D-glucose to D-fructose and D-xylose to D-xylulose. This enzyme is widely used in the production of high-fructose corn syrup and bioethanol. Enhancing the efficiency of XI is critical for its use in industrial applications.

Mind the Porins: Differential Effects of Porin Knockouts and Overexpression on Glucose and Xylose Uptake and Utilization in Pseudomonas putida. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolAltering the levels of outer membrane (OM) porins has an effect on the dynamics of the utilization and co‐utilization of native (glucose—green hexagon) and non‐native (xylose—brown pentagon) sugars, as well as the accumulation of their oxidation byproducts in Pseudomonas putida cultures.

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholBacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...
