Abstract excerpt
D-xylose is one of the most abundant carbohydrates in nature. This work focuses on xylose metabolism of Gluconobacter oxydans as revealed by a few studies conducted to understand xylose utilization by this strain. Interestingly, the G. oxydans 621H Δmgdh strain (deficient in membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenase) was greatly inhibited when grown on xylose and no xylonate accumulation was observed in the medium....
