Discovery and characterization of pentose-specific transporters in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
… from lignocellulosic feedstock. Unfortunately, pentose sugars, which make up to 30% of lignocellulose, cannot be utilized by S. cerevisiae. Pentoses can only enter yeast cells through hexose transporters, which have two orders of magnitude lower affinities for pentose sugars. Additionally, …

Engineering Zymomonas mobilis for efficient fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstocks
… that Z. mobilis cannot efficiently transport pentose sugars into the cell. Therefore, in this work, we investigated the effect on ethanol production of introducing a dedicated transporter for the five carbon sugar xylose in recombinant Z. mobilis. Specifically, the xylE transporter gene from …
