Temperature-Dependent Structure–Function Properties of Bacterial Xylose Isomerase Enzyme for Food Applications: An In Silico Study

Clean Technologies, 2022
Xylose Isomerase (XI) is an intramolecular oxidoreductase enzyme and catalyzes the reversible conversion of ketoses and aldoses in addition to the bioconversion of ethanol from xylose in the production of bioethanol from hemicellulose.

Engineering the substrate specificity of xylose isomerase [PDF]

Protein Engineering Design and Selection, 2005
Xylose isomerase (XI) catalyzes the isomerization and epimerization of hexoses, pentoses and tetroses. In order to clarify the reasons for the low reaction efficiency of a pentose sugar, L-arabinose, we determined the crystal structure of Streptomyces rubiginosus XI complexed with L-arabinose.

Co-utilization of L-arabinose and D-xylose by laboratory and industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains [PDF]

, 2006
Background Fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive alternative for the production of bioethanol. Traditionally, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used in industrial ethanol fermentations. However, S.

Engineering xylose metabolism in thraustochytrid T18

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic, oleaginous, marine protists with a significant potential for biofuel production. High-value co-products can off-set production costs; however, the cost of raw materials, and in particular carbon, is a major ...

Comparison of Isomerase and Weimberg Pathway for γ-PGA Production From Xylose by Engineered Bacillus subtilis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
The production of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), a biopolymer consisting of D- and L-glutamic acid monomers, currently relies on L-glutamate, or citrate as carbon substrates. Here we aimed at using plant biomass-derived substrates such as xylose.

Engineering and two-stage evolution of a lignocellulosic hydrolysate-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for anaerobic fermentation of xylose from AFEX pretreated corn stover.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The inability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment xylose effectively under anaerobic conditions is a major barrier to economical production of lignocellulosic biofuels. Although genetic approaches have enabled engineering of S. cerevisiae to
