Reconstruction of xylose utilization pathway and regulons in Firmicutes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Many Firmicutes bacteria, including solvent-producing clostridia such as Clostridium acetobutylicum, are able to utilize xylose, an abundant carbon source in nature.

Sugar transport for enhanced xylose utilization in Ashbya gossypii. [PDF]
J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol, 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.

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.

Bulk segregant analysis by high-throughput sequencing reveals a novel xylose utilization gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Fermentation of xylose is a fundamental requirement for the efficient production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass sources. Although they aggressively ferment hexoses, it has long been thought that native Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains cannot ...

Prefermentation improves xylose utilization in simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation of pretreated spruce [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2009 Background Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is a promising process option for ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials. However, both the overall ethanol yield and the final ethanol concentration in the fermentation broth ...
