RATIONAL AND EVOLUTIONARY ENGINEERING APPROACHES UNCOVER A SMALL SET OF GENETIC CHANGES EFFICIENT FOR RAPID XYLOSE FERMENTATION IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE.

Rational and evolutionary engineering approaches uncover a small set of genetic changes efficient for rapid xylose fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Economic bioconversion of plant cell wall hydrolysates into fuels and chemicals has been hampered mainly due to the inability of microorganisms to efficiently co-ferment pentose and hexose sugars, especially glucose and xylose, which are the most abundant sugars in cellulosic hydrolysates.Saccharomyces bracelets cerevisiae cannot metabolize xylose
