  • Patent number: 8911983
    Abstract: The endogenous pnp gene encoding polynucleotide phosphorylase in the Zymomonas genome was identified as a target for modification to provide improved xylose utilizing cells for ethanol production. The cells are in addition genetically modified to have increased expression of ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (RPI) activity, as compared to cells without this genetic modification, and are not limited in xylose isomerase activity in the absence of the pnp modification.

  • Publication number: 20140178954
    Abstract: Expression of a xylose isomerase in a yeast cell that expresses the chaperonins GroES and GroEL was found to result in enzymatically active xylose isomerase, while there is little to no activity with expression of the bacterial xylose isomerase in a yeast cell lacking GroES and GroEL. A yeast cell expressing xylose isomerase activity, and a complete xylose utilization pathway, provides a yeast cell that can produce a target compound, such as ethanol, butanol, or 1,3-propanediol, using xylose derived from lignocellulosic biomass as a carbon source.
