mutant bearing a disrupted Zn2+ binding site: purified preparations show a variable Zn2+ (0.10-0.40 atom/subunit), mutant exhibits a constant catalytic Zn2+ centre activity and does not require exogenous Zn2+ for activity or stability. E154C retains 0.019% and 0.74% of wild-type catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km (sorbitol): 7800/Msec and kcat:161/sec) for NAD+-dependent oxidation of sorbitol at 25°C respectively. The pH profile of kcat/Ksorbitol for E154C decreases below an apparent pK of 9.1, reflecting a shift in pK by about +1.7-1.9 pH units compared with the corresponding pH profiles for wild-type.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the preferred microorganism for large-scale ethanol production, does not naturally consume xylose. Xylose isomerase (XI) and xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase (XR/XDH) pathways are introduced into two robust industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, PE-2DELTAGRE3 and CA11, evaluated in synthetic media and corn cob hemicellulosic hydrolysate (non-detoxified corn cob hydrolysate) and the results are correlated with the differential enzyme activities found in the xylose-pathway engineered strains, evaluation of xylose fermentation capacity in oxygen-deprived conditions at 30°C and 40°C. Regarding the CA11-derived strains, the XR activity is higher in the strain with both pathways than in the one solely expressing XR/XDH, while the XDH activity at 30°C is higher in the CA11-XR/XDH strain. The sole expression of XI increases the fermentative capacity of both strains in synthetic media at 30°C and 40°C: decreasing xylitol accumulation and improving xylose consumption and ethanol production. Similar results are observed in fermentations of detoxified hydrolysate. However, in the presence of lignocellulosic-derived inhibitors, a positive synergistic effect results from the expression of both XI and XR/XDH, possibly caused by a cofactor equilibrium between the XDH and furan detoxifying enzymes, increasing the ethanol yield by more than 38%. Advantage of using the XI from Clostridium phytofermentans to attain high ethanol productivities and yields from xylose, and the simultaneous utilization of XR/XDH and XI pathways compared to the single expression of XR/XDH or XI improves ethanol production from non-detoxified hemicellulosic hydrolysates

engineered Sacchyromyces cerevisiae expressing NADPH-linked xylose reductase (XR) and NAD+-linked xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) produces substantial amounts of the reduced byproducts under anaerobic conditions due to the cofactor difference of XR and XDH. While the additional expression of a water-forming NADH oxidase (NoxE) from Lactococcus lactis in engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the XR/XDH pathway leads to reduced glycerol and xylitol production and increased ethanol yields from xylose, volumetric ethanol productivities by the engineered yeast decrease because of growth defects from the overexpression of noxE. High cell density inoculum for xylose fermentation by strain SR8 expressing noxE, resulting in strain SR8N, shows a higher ethanol yield and lower byproduct yields, and also exhibits a high ethanol productivity during xylose fermentation. Growth defects from noxE overexpression can be overcome in the case of fermenting lignocellulose-derived sugars such as glucose and xylosen

efficient uptake and reduction of xylose photoautotrophically in Synechococcus elongatus strain PCC7942 are demonstrated upon introduction of an effective xylose transporter from Escherichia coli (Ec-XylE) and the NADPH-dependent xylose reductase from Candida boidinii (Cb-XR). Simultaneous activation of xylose uptake and matching of cofactor specificity enables an average xylitol yield of 0.9 g/g xylose and a maximum productivity of about 0.15 g/l/day/OD with increased level of xylose supply. High-density conversion of xylose to xylitol using concentrated resting cells further pushes the titer of xylitol formation to 33 g/l in six days with 85% of maximum theoretical yield.

efficient uptake and reduction of xylose photoautotrophically in Synechococcus elongatus strain PCC7942 are demonstrated upon introduction of an effective xylose transporter from Escherichia coli (Ec-XylE) and the NADPH-dependent xylose reductase from Candida boidinii (Cb-XR). Simultaneous activation of xylose uptake and matching of cofactor specificity enables an average xylitol yield of 0.9 g/g xylose and a maximum productivity of about 0.15 g/l/day/OD with increased level of xylose supply. High-density conversion of xylose to xylitol using concentrated resting cells further pushes the titer of xylitol formation to 33 g/l in six days with 85% of maximum theoretical yield. Comparison of the efficiencies of the two routes for xylitol biosynthesis, detailed overview

combination of xylose reductase from Spathaspora arborariae with xylitol dehydrogenase from Spathaspora passalidarum to promote xylose consumption and fermentation into xylitol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recombinant co-expression of Spathaspora arborariae xylose reductase gene (SaXYL1) that accepts both NADH and NADPH as co-substrates, and of Spathaspora passalidarum strain UFMG-HM.19.1AT NADPH-dependent xylose reductase (SpXYL1.1 gene) or the SpXYL2.2 gene from Spathaspora passalidarum strain UFMG-CM-Y474 in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain overexpressing the native XKS1 gene encoding xylulokinase, as well as being deleted in the alkaline phosphatase encoded by the PHO13 gene. Strains expressing the Spathaspora enzymes consumes xylose with xylitol as the major fermentation product. Higher specific growth rates, xylose consumption, and xylitol volumetric productivities are obtained by the co-expression of the SaXYL1 and SpXYL2.2 genes, when compared with the co-expression of the NADPH-dependent SpXYL1.1 xylose reductase. During glucose-xylose co-fermentation by the strain with co-expression of the SaXYL1 and SpXYL2.2 genes, both ethanol and xylitol are produced efficiently. Method development and evaluation, detailed overview

the combinatorial expression of two xylose reductase (XR) genes and two xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) genes from Spathaspora passalidarum and the heterologous expression of the Piromyces sp. xylose isomerase (XI) gene are induced in Aureobasidium pullulans strain CBS 110374. Overexpression of XYL1.2 (encoding XR) and XYL2.2 (encoding XDH) is the most beneficial for xylose utilization, resulting in a 17.76% increase in consumed xylose compared with the parent strain, whereas the introduction of the Piromyces sp. XI pathway fails to enhance xylose utilization efficiency. Construction of knock-in mutants, method, evaluation of internal redox state, xylose utilization and cell growth of the recombinant strains, pH 5.8, 28°C, comparison the fermentation abilities of the parent strain and the recombinant strains using several carbon sources, overview
