D-Xylose, an aldopentose, is used as a feed stock to produce the non-caloric sweetener, xylitol and commercially valuable ethanol. D-Xylose may be used in intestinal function research to test for small intestinal malabsorption.
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Xylose, a principle hemicellulosic sugar in plants and hardwoods, is a main building block for xylan.

The filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus niger has received increasing interest as a cell factory, being able to efficiently degrade plant cell wall polysaccharides as well as having an extensive metabolism to convert the released monosaccharides into value added compounds. The pentoses
Research on filamentous fungi emphasized the remarkable redundancy in genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes, the similarities but also the large differences in their expression, especially through the role of the XlnR/XYR1 transcriptional activator. The purpose of this study was to evaluate
The xylan-binding module Clostridium thermocellum CBM22A was successfully fused to a gluco-oligosaccharide oxidase, GOOX-VN, from Sarocladium strictum via a short TP linker, allowing the fused protein to effectively bind different xylans. The presence of the CtCBM22A at the N-terminal of

Ulvan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the green seaweed genus Ulva, has bioactive properties including an immunomodulating capacity. The immunomodulatory capacity of ulvan from Ulva ohnoi, however, has not been assessed in detail. We depolymerised purified ulvan from U. ohnoi
Bacterial ribosomes frequently translate to the 3' end of an mRNA without terminating at a stop codon. Almost all bacteria use the transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA)-based trans-translation pathway to release these "nonstop" ribosomes and maintain protein synthesis capacity. trans-translation is essential
