Abstract excerpt
The conversion of abundant levels of xylose in lignocellulosic materials into viable products would generate economic benefits. The heterologous expression of the xylose isomerase (XI) gene is considered a direct and effective strategy for establishing the xylose metabolic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, only limited sources of xylA are functionally expressed in S. cerevisiae and are capable of...
