Fermentation of mixed glucose-xylose substrates by engineered strains of <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</it>: role of the coenzyme specificity of xylose reductase, and effect of glucose on xylose utilization
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In spite of the substantial metabolic engineering effort previously devoted to the development of <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>strains capable of fermenting both the hexose and pentose sugars present in lignocellulos...
