Xylose is a kind of pentose; its molecular formula is C 5 H 10 O 5 and its structural formula is shown in Fig. 6.2. Hemicellulose is a polysaccharide of d-xylose in nature. The industrial …

The name xylose (Greek ξυλον, xylon meaning wood) originates from the isolation of the sugar from wood by Koch in 1886, and xylose is also known as wood sugar. Xylose is a pentose and …

Xylose is the supreme and most attractive sugar obtained from hemicellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. Biological processes that use pentose-rich biomass as the sole …

Xylose fermentation by native S. cerevisiae is restricted by two major metabolic bottlenecks. The first bottleneck is the lack of xylose-specific transporters that compels extracellular xylose to …

Mar 1, 2025 · Xylose is metabolized primarily through three distinct pathways: (i) the isomerase pathway, (ii) the oxidoreductase pathway, and (iii) the oxidative pathway. The xylose metabolic …

The xylose isomerase converts the sugar into xylulose, which can be metabolized by the yeast. Once this was accomplished, oxygen-limited and anaerobic batch enrichment in the presence …

The 14 C-d-xylose breath test appears to perform better than the glucose or lactulose hydrogen breath test (see Table 102-3) but, as with these other breath tests, widely differing levels of …

Xylose isomerases (XI, EC 5.3.1.5) are key enzymes for the metabolism of pentoses by microorganisms. The importance of XIs goes beyond academic biochemical research and the …

Jun 1, 2021 · A typical xylose rich hydrolysate composition, as given in Table 3, is generated from different biomass types such as corn fiber, soy hulls, and bagasse (that are rich in xylose) in …

Nov 1, 2024 · Specifically, regarding xylose metabolism in yeast, the most explored genetic modification strategy, which serves as the basis for the adoption of new strategies, is the …
