Impact of xylose epimerase on sugar assimilation and sensing in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying different xylose-utilization pathways
BackgroundOver the last decades, many strategies to procure and improve xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been reported. This includes the introduction of efficient xylose-assimilating enzymes, the improvement of xylose transport, or the alteration of the sugar signaling response. However, different strain backgrounds are often used, making it difficult to determine if the findin
