Comparing the xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase and xylose isomerase pathways in arabinose and xylose fermenting
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2008 Background Ethanolic fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable option for the production of bioethanol. This process would greatly benefit from recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains also able to ferment, besides the hexose sugar ...

The Weimberg pathway: an alternative for Myceliophthora thermophila to utilize d-xylose
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 Background With d-xylose being the second most abundant sugar in nature, its conversion into products could significantly improve biomass-based process economy. There are two well-studied phosphorylative pathways for d-xylose metabolism. One is isomerase
