Pentose sugars are widespread in nature and two of them, D-xylose and L-arabinose
belong to the most abundant sugars being the second and third by abundance sugars in dry …

The development of robust microorganisms that can efficiently ferment both glucose and
xylose represents one of the major challenges in achieving a cost-effective lignocellulosic …

Fungi have been found in every marine habitat that has been explored; however, the
diversity and functions of fungi in the ocean are poorly understood. In this study, fungi were …

Objective The state-of-the-art genome annotation tools output GFF3 format files, while this
format is not accepted as submission format by the International Nucleotide Sequence …

Background An economically viable production of biofuels and biochemicals from
lignocellulose requires microorganisms that can readily convert both the cellulosic and …

Clavispora santaluciae was recently described as a novel non-Saccharomyces yeast
species, isolated from grapes of Azores vineyards, a Portuguese archipelago with particular …

The transport of substrates across the cell membrane plays an essential role in nutrient
assimilation by yeasts. The establishment of an efficient microbial cell factory, based on the …

Lactose assimilation is a relatively rare trait in yeasts, and Kluyveromyces yeast species
have long served as model organisms for studying lactose metabolism. Meanwhile, the …

Non-Saccharomyces yeasts emerge as possible new probiotics with a beneficial effect
equal to or greater than the reference probiotic yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii. In this work …
