Background Fermentation of xylose to ethanol has been achieved in S. cerevisiae by genetic engineering. Xylose utilization is however slow compared to glucose, and during anaerobic conditions addition of glucose has been necessary for cellular growth. In

Comparative assessment of fermentative capacity of different xylose-consuming yeasts
Background Understanding the effects of oxygen levels on yeast xylose metabolism would benefit ethanol production. In this work, xylose fermentative capacity of Scheffersomyces stipitis, Spathaspora passalidarum, Spathaspora arborariae and Candida tenuis

Development and characterization of efficient xylose utilization strains of Zymomonas mobilis
Background Efficient use of glucose and xylose is a key for the economic production of lignocellulosic biofuels and biochemicals, and different recombinant strains have been constructed for xylose utilization including those using Zymomonas mobilis as ...

16S rRNA gene profiling and genome reconstruction reveal community metabolic interactions and prebiotic potential of medicinal herbs used in neurodegenerative disease and as nootropics. [PDF]
The prebiotic potential of nervine herbal medicines has been scarcely studied. We therefore used anaerobic human fecal cultivation to investigate whether medicinal herbs commonly used as treatment in neurological health and disease in Ayurveda and other ...

Comparative xylose metabolism among the Ascomycetes C. albicans, S. stipitis and S. cerevisiae.
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.

Engineering of a Xylose Metabolic Pathway in Rhodococcus Strains [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe two metabolically versatile actinobacteriaRhodococcus opacusPD630 andR. jostiiRHA1 can efficiently convert diverse organic substrates into neutral lipids mainly consisting of triacylglycerol (TAG), the precursor of energy-rich hydrocarbon.

The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]
Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...
