Abstract

Abstract : Xylitol, a major pentose alcohol sugar, is produced from lignocellulosic biomass by a recombinant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expressing cytosolic xylose reductase (SsXR), along with homologous maltose transporter (ScMAL11) and β‐glucosidase (AaBGL) displayed on the cell surface. This recombinant strain is able to efficiently co‐utilize cellobiose and xylose and produce xylitol. This is reported by Gregory G. Y.
