Lignocellulosic biomass has attracted great interest in recent years for energy production
due to its renewability and carbon–neutral nature. There are various ways to convert …

In the context of climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels, there is a great need for
alternatives to petroleum in the transport sector. This review provides an overview of the …

Bioethanol is one of the most promising and eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels, which is
produced from renewable sources. Although almost all the current fuel ethanol is generated …

The global energy demand and need for sustainable sources are expected to rise in the
coming years. The second-generation bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass …

Lignocellulose, the most abundant renewable carbon source on earth, is the logical
candidate to replace fossil carbon as the major biofuel raw material. Nevertheless, the …

Background Xylose isomerase (XI) and xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase (XR/XDH)
pathways have been extensively used to confer xylose assimilation capacity to …

Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels such as bioethanol and high value-
added products has attracted great interest in recent decades due to the carbon neutral …

Glucose isomerase (GI, also known as xylose isomerase) reversibly isomerizes D-glucose
and D-xylose to D-fructose and D-xylulose, respectively. GI plays an important role in sugar …

Great effort has been devoted to engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae with pentose
metabolism through the oxido-reductase pathway for cellulosic ethanol production, but …
