Xylitol (1) is a pentitol and is used not only as a sweetener but also as a platform chemical for the production of industrially important chemicals. As a sweetener, it has been shown to possess several favorable properties in comparison to other sugar substitutes, such as anticariogenicity, good gastrointestinal tolerance, low caloric content, and ...

Xylose reductase production by candida guilliermondii
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1998The effect of pH, time of fermentation, and xylose and glucose concentration on xylitol production, cell growth, xylose reductase (XR), and xylitol dehydrogenase (XD) activities of Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 were determined. For attaining XR and XD activities of 129-2190 U/mg of protein and 24-917 U/mg of protein, respectively, the cited ...

Xylose Utilisation: Cloning and Characterisation of the Xylose Reductase from Candida tenuis
Biological Chemistry, 1999Xylose reductases catalyse the initial reaction in the xylose utilisation pathway, the NAD(P)H+H+ dependent reduction of xylose to xylitol. In this work, the xylose reductase gene from Candida tenuis CBS 4435 was cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli. From the purified and partially sequenced protein primers were deduced for PCR.

The Activity of Xylose Reductase and Xylitol Dehydrogenase in Yeasts
Microbiology, 2003The activity and the cofactor specificity of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase were studied in extracts of yeasts from the genera Candida, Kluyveromyces, Pachysolen, Pichia, and Torulopsis grown under microaerobic conditions. It was found that xylitol dehydrogenase in all of the yeast species studied is specific for NAD+; xylose reductase in ...

We have constructed recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae JH1 harboring a xylose reductase gene (xyl1) isolated from Pichia stipitis. However, JH1 still utilizes glucose more easily than xylose. Therefore, in this study, we characterized the effect of a glucose supplement on xylose utilization, the expression level of xylose reductase as a recombinant ...

Discovery and characterization of a xylose reductase from Zymomonas mobilis ZM4
Biotechnology Letters, 2011Formation of xylitol, a byproduct from xylose fermentation, is a major limiting factor in ethanol production from xylose in engineered Zymomonas strains, yet the postulated xylose reductase remains elusive. We report here the discovery of xylose reductase in Zymomonas mobilis and, for the first time, to associate the enzyme function with its gene ...

The Pichia stipitis xylose reductase gene (XYL1) was inserted into an autonomous plasmid that P. stipitis maintains in multicopy. The plasmid pXOR with the XYL1 insert or a control plasmid pJM6 without XYL1 was introduced into P. stipitis. When grown on xylose under aerobic conditions, the strain with pXOR had up to 1.8-fold higher xylose reductase ...

Xylitol is an important functional sugar alcohol which is widely used in industries. To efficiently produce xylitol from xylose by xylose reductase in a single step, the coupled system and the coexpression system using xylose reductase (XR) from Rhizopus oryzae and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Exiguobacterium sibiricum were constructed, the latter ...

Xylose fermentation performance was studied of a previously developed Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain TMB 3057, carrying high xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) activity, overexpressed non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and deletion of the aldose reductase gene GRE3.
