Comparative xylose metabolism among the Ascomycetes C. albicans, S. stipitis and S. cerevisiae.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The ascomycetes Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Scheffersomyces stipitis metabolize the pentose sugar xylose very differently. S. cerevisiae fails to grow on xylose, while C. albicans can grow, and S.
