xylose , auch: wood sugar

Additional modifications are necessary for rapid fermentation of xylose, however.

Xylose is a sugar that does not require enzymes to be digested.

Xylose is otherwise pervasive, being found in the embryos of most edible plants.

As such xylose constitutes the second most abundant carbohydrate moiety in nature.

The mice apparently can digest the xylose and they eat large quantities of the pollen.

If xylose is detected in blood and/or urine within the next few hours, it has been absorbed by the intestines.

Xylose is a hemicellulosic sugar found in all angiosperm plants.

Free sugars in carrot include sucrose, glucose, xylose and fructose.

In another approach a bacterial xylose isomerase was introduced.

An extensive adaptation process was used to improve xylose fermentation in Z. mobilis.

However, it does not natively metabolize xylose.

Xylose is not metabolised by humans.

Interestingly, by adapting a strain in a high concentration of xylose, significant alterations of metabolism occurred.

It is a C'-2 carbon epimer of the sugar Xylose.

Xylose can be produced from wood or agricultural residues through auto- or acid hydrolysis.

Xylobiose is a disaccharide of xylose monomers with a beta-1,4-bond between them.

Xylooligosaccharides are polymers of the sugar xylose.

Hydrolysis of hemicellulose gives mostly five-carbon sugars such as xylose.

S. cerevisiae, the yeast most commonly used for ethanol production, cannot metabolize xylose.

Syntheses have been accomplished from -ribose and -xylose.

In animal medicine, xylose is used to test for malabsorption by administration in water to the patient after fasting.

A xyloside is a type of glycoside derived from the sugar xylose.

Xylans are polysaccharides made from units of xylose (a pentose sugar).

Beta-D-xylosides consist of a xylose in beta linkage to an aglycone.

The work focuses on genetically engineering proprietary yeast strains for the efficient production of xylitol from xylose.
