Evolved hexose transporter enhances xylose uptake and glucose/xylose co-utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractEnhancing xylose utilization has been a major focus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain-engineering efforts. The incentive for these studies arises from the need to use all sugars in the typical carbon mixtures that comprise standard renewable plant-biomass-based carbon sources.

Utilization of d-ribose through d-xylose transporter [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1998 An Escherichia coli mutant defective in high-affinity D-ribose transport is able to utilize the sugar as a sole carbon source, suggesting that other transport systems for D-ribose exist. In order to search for such transporters, transposon mutagenesis was carried out in an rbsB-negative strain containing ribokinase (rbsK) for sugar phosphorylation ...

Biotechnology Journal, 2021 AbstractSimultaneous co‐fermentation of glucose and xylose is a key desired trait of engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae for efficient and rapid production of biofuels and chemicals. However, glucose strongly inhibits xylose transport by endogenous hexose transporters of S. cerevisiae.

Characterization of the xylose-transporting properties of yeast hexose transporters and their influence on xylose utilization [PDF]
Microbiology, 2002 For an economically feasible production of ethanol from plant biomass by microbial cells, the fermentation of xylose is important. As xylose uptake might be a limiting step for xylose fermentation by recombinant xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells a study of xylose uptake was performed.
