improving xylitol production at elevated temperature with engineered kluyveromyces marxianus through over-expressing transporters.three transporter genes including kluyveromyces marxianus aquaglyceroporin gene (kmfps1), candida intermedia glucose/xylose facilitator gene (cigxf1) or glucose/xylose symporter gene (cigxs1) were over-expressed in k. marxianus yzj017 to improve xylitol production at elevated temperatures. the xylitol production of yzj074 that harbored cigxf1 was improved to 147.62g/l in erlenmeyer flask at 42°c. in fermenter, 99.29 and 149.60g/l xylitol were produced from 99.55 and 151.91g/l xylose with product ...201525465792
construction of fast xylose-fermenting yeast based on industrial ethanol-producing diploid saccharomyces cerevisiae by rational design and adaptive evolution.it remains a challenge for recombinant s. cerevisiae to convert xylose in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates to ethanol. although industrial diploid strains are more robust compared to laboratory haploid strains, however, industrial diploid s. cerevisiae strains have been less pursued in previous studies. this work aims to construct fast xylose-fermenting yeast using an industrial ethanol-producing diploid s. cerevisiae strain as a host.201324354503
