Disruption of PHO13 improves ethanol production via the xylose isomerase pathway. [PDF]
AMB Express, 2016 Xylose is the second most abundant sugar in lignocellulosic materials and can be converted to ethanol by recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains expressing heterologous genes involved in xylose assimilation pathways.

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

Xylose metabolism in the fungus Rhizopus oryzae : effect of growth and respiration on l (+)-lactic acid production [PDF]
, 2008 The fungus Rhizopus oryzae converts both glucose and xylose under aerobic conditions into chirally pure l(+)-lactic acid with by-products such as xylitol, glycerol, ethanol, carbon dioxide and fungal biomass.

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 ...

D-Xylose fermentation to ethanol bySchizosaccharomyces pombe cloned with xylose isomerase gene [PDF]
Biotechnology Letters, 1986 Schizosaccharomycespombe cloned with the xylose isomerase gene from E. coli is able to grow on YNB and YMP broths containing xylose as the sole carbon source. This yeast can ferment D-xylose to ethanol directly; however, the ethanol production rate and the yield were dependent on the nitrogen source.

Analysis of a conserved cellulase transcriptional regulator reveals inducer-independent production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
, 2013 Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the transcriptional regulator, CLR-2, is required for cellulolytic gene expression and

Crystallographic Studies of d-Xylose Isomerase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974 In order to emphasize the similarity of the unit cell and of the diffraction patterns, this convention is only followed for Form B. The estimated error in unit cell measurements is 0.05 A for Form A crystals and 0.15 A for Form B crystals. The determined densities were reproducible within 0.02 g per cc.

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.
