de Valk, S.C. (author), Bouwmeester, Susan E. (author), de Hulster, A.F. (author), Mans, R. (author)Background: In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely applied for industrial bioethanol production, uptake of hexoses is mediated by transporters with a facilitated diffusion mechanism. In anaerobic cultures, a higher ethanol yield can be achieved when transport of hexoses is proton-coupled, because of the lower net ATP yield of...journal article 2022

(author), Klaassen, Paul (author), van Maris, A.J.A. (author), Daran, J.G. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)Background: l-Arabinose occurs at economically relevant levels in lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Its low-affinity uptake via the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gal2 galactose transporter is inhibited by d-glucose. Especially at low concentrations of l-arabinose, uptake is an important rate-controlling step in the complete conversion of these...journal article 2018
