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.
