Economic bioconversion of plant cell wall hydrolysates into fuels and chemicals has been
hampered mainly due to the inability of microorganisms to efficiently co-ferment pentose and …

As the second-largest storage saccharide in the world, xylose is a promising renewable
feedstock in the bio-industry. A few microorganisms can metabolize xylose naturally via the …

L-Xylulose is an intermediate in certain metabolic pathways and is classified as a rare sugar.
It shows important physiological effects such as acting as an inhibitor of α-glucosidase and …

A novel facultative thermophilic bacterium capable of producing rare ketoses from polyols
was isolated from soil and identified as Bacillus pallidus Y25. We have employed this …

Xylitol is a non-fermentable sugar alcohol used as sweetener. Corynebacterium glutamicum
ATCC13032 was metabolically engineered for xylitol production from the lignocellulosic …

Microorganisms can produce a number of different bioproducts from the sugars in plant
biomass. One challenge is devising processes that utilize all of the sugars in lignocellulosic …

Background Xylose contained in lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive carbon substrate for
economically viable conversion to bioethanol. Extensive research has been conducted on …

Xylitol, a commodity chemical, is widely used in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical
formulations. Microbial xylitol production is a promising alternative to mitigate current …

The lignocellulosic sugar d-xylose has recently gained prominence as an inexpensive
alternative substrate for the production of value-added compounds using genetically …

In the present study, recombinant strains were constructed for xylitol production by cloning
and expressing the novel xylitol dehydrogenase (xdh) and alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) …
