Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The major carbohydrate components of lignocellulosic biomass are cellulose and hemicelluloses. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot efficiently utilize xylose derived upon the hydrolysis of hemicelluloses. Although engineering the yeast with xylose metabolic pathway has been intensively studied, challenges are still ahead for developing robust strains for lignocellulosic bioethanol production. OBJECTIVE:...
