Xylose metabolism in the pig. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 It is important to understand if, and to what extent, the pig can utilize xylose as an energy source if xylanase releases free xylose in the small intestine.

Engineering xylose metabolism in thraustochytrid T18 [PDF]
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 ...

Activation of cryptic xylose metabolism by a transcriptional activator Znf1 boosts up xylitol production in the engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking xylose suppressor BUD21 gene [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2022 Background Xylitol is a valuable pentose sugar alcohol, used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Biotechnological xylitol production is currently attractive due to possible conversion from abundant and low-cost industrial wastes or agricultural ...

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.

Identification of genes involved in xylose metabolism of Meyerozyma guilliermondii and their genetic engineering for increased xylitol production [PDF]
AMB Express, 2020 Meyerozyma guilliermondii, a non-conventional yeast that naturally assimilates xylose, is considered as a candidate for biotechnological production of the sugar alternative xylitol. Because the genes of the xylose metabolism were yet unknown, all efforts

Characteristics of Candida albicans metabolism of glucose and two sugar substitutes, xylose and xylitol and effect of these substitutes on glucose metabolism from a cariogenic perspective [PDF]
Journal of Oral MicrobiologyObjectives Carbohydrate metabolism and subsequent acid production of Candida albicans remain insufficiently understood. C. albicans may utilize xylitol, but its cariogenic implications are understudied.

Xylose Metabolism Perturbation in Yarrowia lipolytica for Efficient Succinic Acid Bioproduction from Lignocellulosic Biomass [PDF]
Advanced ScienceLignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable feedstock for biorefineries, but inefficient xylose utilization limits microbial bioproduction. Here, the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was engineered to produce succinic acid (SA) from xylose by resolving ...
