The effect of the inoculum age and initial xylose concentration on the activities of xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XD) of Candida guilliemondii FTI 20037 were investigated. Under the experimental conditions used, the XR and XD activities were, respectively, NADPH and NAD or NADP d

## Abstract The influence of glucose on xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) enzyme activity was evaluated from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate fermentations with different glucose:xylose ratios (1:25, 1:12, 1:5 and 1:2.5) by employing an inoculum of __Candida guilliermondii__ grown
To enhance metabolite transfer in the two initial sequential steps of xylose metabolism in yeast, two structural genes of Pichia stipitis, XYL } and XYL " encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, were fused in frame. Four chimeric genes were constructed, encoding
## Abstract BACKGROUND: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol (polyalcohol) with many interesting properties for pharmaceutical and food products. It is currently produced by a chemical process, which has some disadvantages such as high energy requirement. Therefore microbiological production of xylitol has b
