Regulation of Sugar Metabolism During Fermentation of Brewers' Spent Grain by Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides DSM20193. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolThis study reveals the regulatory mechanism behind sugar metabolism and dextran synthesis by Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides DSM20193 during the fermentation of a complex substrate like brewers spent grain. Understanding metabolic pathways and genetic adaptation of lactic acid bacteria in food environments can help develop fermented products with ...

Glucose Isomerase: Functions, Structures, and Applications
Applied Sciences, 2022 Glucose isomerase (GI, also known as xylose isomerase) reversibly isomerizes D-glucose and D-xylose to D-fructose and D-xylulose, respectively. GI plays an important role in sugar metabolism, fulfilling nutritional requirements in bacteria.

Anomeric specificity of D-xylose isomerase
Biochemistry, 1992 Crystal structures of complexes of D-xylose isomerase with deoxysugars have been determined. Deoxynojirimycin is a structural analogue of alpha-pyranose and mimics the binding of these aldose substrates. The structure of this complex supports the hypothesis that an imidazole group catalyzes ring opening of the pyranose.
