Van Maris, A.J.A. (author), Winkler, A.A. (author), Kuyper, M. (author), De Laat, W.T. (author), Van Dijken, J.P. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for ethanol production from d-xylose, an abundant sugar in plant biomass hydrolysates, has been pursued vigorously for the past 15 years. Whereas wild-type S. cerevisiae cannot ferment d-xylose, the ketoisomer d-xylulose can be metabolised slowly. Conversion of d-xylose into d-xylulose is...journal article 2007

Winkler, A.A. (author), Kuyper, S.M. (author), De Laat, W.T. (author), Van Dijken, J.P. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)The present invention relates to further genetic modifications in eukaryotic host cells that have been transformed to express a xylose isomerase that confers the host cell the ability of isomerising xylose to xylulose. The further genetic modifications are aimed at improving the efficiency of xylose metabolism and include e.g. reduction of...patent 2006
