Rewired cellular signaling coordinates sugar and hypoxic responses for anaerobic xylose fermentation in yeast. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Microbes can be metabolically engineered to produce biofuels and biochemicals, but rerouting metabolic flux toward products is a major hurdle without a systems-level understanding of how cellular flux is controlled.

Biochemical routes for uptake and conversion of xylose by microorganisms
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Xylose is a major component of lignocellulose and the second most abundant sugar present in nature. Efficient utilization of xylose is required for the development of economically viable processes to produce biofuels and chemicals from biomass.
