Kinetic modelling reveals current limitations in the production of ethanol from xylose by recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- N. Parachin, Basti Bergdahl, E. V. van Niel, M. Gorwa-Grauslund
- Biology, Medicine
- Metabolic engineering
- 1 September 2011
Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacks the ability to ferment the pentose sugar xylose that is the second most abundant sugar in nature. Therefore two different xylose catabolic pathways have been… Expand
Isolation of xylose isomerases by sequence- and function-based screening from a soil metagenomic library
- N. Parachin, M. Gorwa-Grauslund
- Medicine, Biology
- Biotechnology for biofuels
- 5 May 2011
BackgroundXylose isomerase (XI) catalyses the isomerisation of xylose to xylulose in bacteria and some fungi. Currently, only a limited number of XI genes have been functionally expressed in… Expand
Identification of common traits in improved xylose‐growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae for inverse metabolic engineering
