Optimal yeast strains for the production of fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass
… hexose and pentose sugars, mainly glucose and xylose, which are not efficiently fermented by microbes. Despite numerous efforts for improving xylose fermentation during the last two decades, a method for engineering efficient xylose-fermenting strains has not been finalized yet. In this thesis …

Engineering yeast to synthesize high-value natural products from plant cell wall
… hydrolysates. First, the respiratory nature of xylose metabolism in engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae was explored and harnessed for high-level production of β-carotene. Subsequently, we illustrated efficient conversion of xylose-enriched biosorghum hydrolysates into β-carotene by this …

Switching in bacterial gene expression networks
… Glucose is known to inhibit the transport and metabolism of many sugars in Escherichia coli. This mechanism leads to its preferential consumption. Far less, however, is known about the preferential utilization of non-glucose sugars in E. coli. One notable exception is arabinose and xylose. …

Optimizing pentose sugar utilization in Escherichia coli for the production of biofuels
… consisting mainly of glucose, arabinose and xylose. Effective metabolism of all sugars in biomass by a microorganism is regarded as essential for commercial biofuel production. However, two of the major challenges that we are currently faced with are the transport of sugars into the …

Control of glucose and xylose utilization by Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum Rt8.B1
… of this study demonstrated that glucose and xylose were used simultaneously i.e. the bacterium exhibited hyperbolic growth when both glucose and xylose were supplied together at nonlimiting concentrations. Under conditions of hyperbolic growth, Cl. thermohydrosulfuricum Rt8.B1 exhibited …
