d-xylose accelerated death of pentose metabolizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 Rapid and effective consumption of d-xylose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is essential for cost-efficient cellulosic bioethanol production. Hence, heterologous d-xylose metabolic pathways have been introduced into S. cerevisiae.

Immobilized Trienzymatic System with Enhanced Stabilization for the Biotransformation of Lactose
Molecules, 2017 The use of ketohexose isomerases is a powerful tool in lactose whey processing, but these enzymes can be very sensitive and expensive. Development of immobilized/stabilized biocatalysts could be a further option to improve the process.

Mechanism of Glucose Isomerization Using a Solid Lewis Acid Catalyst in Water [PDF]
, 2010 ^1H and ^(13)C NMR spectroscopy on isotopically labeled glucose reveals that in the presence of tin-containing zeolite Sn-Beta, the isomerization reaction of glucose in water proceeds by way of an intramolecular hydride shift (see scheme) rather than ...
