Morganella morganii ATCC 25829, Providencia stuartii ATCC 25827, Serratia marcescens ATCC 13880, and Erwinia sp. strain 4D2P were found to induce a xylitol dehydrogenase when grown on a xylitol-containing medium. The xylitol dehydrogenases were partially purified from the four strains, and those from M. morganii ATCC 25829, P. stuartii ATCC 25827, and S. marcescens ATCC 13880 were all found to oxidize xylitol to D-xylulose. These three enzymes had KmS for xylitol of 7.1 to 16.4 mM and molecular weights ranging from 130,000 to 155,000. In contrast, the xylitol dehydrogenase from Erwinia sp. strain 4D2P oxidized xylitol at the C-4 position to produce L-xylulose, had a Km for xylitol of 72 mM, and had a molecular weight of 102,000.

Background: Biocatalysis offers a potentially greener alternative to chemical processes. For biocatalytic systems requiring cofactor recycling, hydrogen emerges as an attractive reducing agent. Hydrogen is attractive because all the electrons can be fully transferred to the product, and it can be efficiently produced from water using renewable electricity.

Postharvest processing plays a crucial role in harnessing the benefits of prickly pear fruit by utilizing betalain as natural colorants to replace artificial colors in model food systems. Prickly pear betalain-enriched gummies were developed using various sugar substitutes, including table sugar, xylitol, stevia, and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). These gummies were analyzed for in vitro enzymatic inhibition, anti-inflammatory effects and molecular docking studies for decoding diabetes type-II and skin resilience.

The aim was to develop a two-stage seeding strategy and its optimization to enhance the conversion of xylose to xylitol by Debaryomyces nepalensis NCYC 3413. To develop efficient seed, multi-response optimization was employed to obtain optimal inoculum age and volume where xylitol concentration, yield and productivity were maximized. The optimal conditions of inoculation age and volume were 5.

Enhancing the supply of the redox cofactor NADPH in metabolically engineered cells is a critical target for optimizing the synthesis of many product classes, such as fatty acids or terpenoids. In , several successful approaches have been developed in different experimental contexts. However, their systematic comparison has not been reported.

Lignocellulose (dry plant biomass) is an abundant cheap inedible residue of agriculture and wood industry with great potential as a feedstock for biotechnological processes. Lignocellulosic substrates can serve as valuable resources in fermentation processes, allowing the production of a wide array of chemicals, fuels, and food additives. The main obstacle for cost-effective conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolysates to target products is poor metabolism of the major pentoses, xylose and L-arabinose, which are the second and third most abundant sugars of lignocellulose after glucose.
