Utilization of both C5 and C6 sugars to produce biofuels and bioproducts is a key goal for
the development of integrated lignocellulosic biorefineries. Previously we found that …

Background Numerous attempts have been made to improve xylose utilization in Z. mobilis
including adaptive approaches. However, no one has yet found a way to overcome the …

Plant-derived fuels and chemicals from renewable biomass have significant potential to
replace reliance on petroleum and improve global carbon balance. However, plant biomass …

Background Efficient use of glucose and xylose is a key for the economic production of
lignocellulosic biofuels and biochemicals, and different recombinant strains have been …

In pH-controlled batch fermentations with pure sugar synthetic hard-wood hemicellulose
(1%[w/v] glucose and 4% xylose) and corn stover hydrolysate (8% glucose and 3.5% xylose) …

Background Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable feedstock for biofuel
production. Acetate is one of the major inhibitors liberated from hemicelluloses during …

Background Acid pretreatment is a common strategy used to break down the hemicellulose
component of the lignocellulosic biomass to release pentoses, and a subsequent enzymatic …

Background Complete conversion of the major sugars of biomass including both the C 5 and
C 6 sugars is critical for biofuel production processes. Several inhibitory compounds like …

Zymomonas mobilis has been metabolically engineered to broaden its substrate utilization
range to include D-xylose and L-arabinose. Both genomically integrated and plasmid …

The goal of sustainable production of biochemicals and biofuels has driven the engineering
of microbial cell as factories that convert low-value substrates to high-value products. Xylose …
