Comparison of the xylose reductase-xylitol dehydrogenase and the xylose isomerase pathways for xylose fermentation by recombinant <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Two heterologous pathways have been used to construct recombinant xylose-fermenting <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>strains: i) the xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) pathway and ii) the xylose isomer...
