Efficient anaerobic consumption of D-xylose by E. coli BL21(DE3) via xylR adaptive mutation
BMC Microbiology, 2021 Background Microorganisms can prioritize the uptake of different sugars depending on their metabolic needs and preferences. When both D-glucose and D-xylose are present in growth media, E.

Sugar transport for enhanced xylose utilization in Ashbya gossypii [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020 Abstract The co-utilization of mixed (pentose/hexose) sugars constitutes a challenge for microbial fermentations. The fungus Ashbya gossypii, which is currently exploited for the industrial production of riboflavin, has been presented as an efficient biocatalyst for the production of biolipids using xylose-rich substrates.

Xylose donor transport is critical for fungal virulence
PLOS Pathogens, 2018 Cryptococcus neoformans, an AIDS-defining opportunistic pathogen, is the leading cause of fungal meningitis worldwide and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. Cryptococcal glycans are required for fungal survival in the host and for pathogenesis.
