Widespread effect of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine assimilation on the metabolisms of amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines in Scheffersomyces stipitis
Abstract Background Following cellulose, chitin is the most abundant renewable resource and is composed of the monomeric amino sugar N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc). Although many yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have lost their ability to utilize GlcNAc, some yeasts are able to use GlcNA...
