recombinant overexpression of strictly NADPH-dependent XR with mutated strictly NADP+-dependent XDH leading to increased bioethanol production and decreased xylitol accumulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain D452-2 resulting in mutant strains SK-N1 to SK-N4 | Scheffersomyces stipitis |

additional information | enzyme XDH is changed from NAD+-dependent to NADP+-dependent, xylitol accumulation is reduced and ethanol production improved using protein engineering for reversing the dependency of XDH from NAD+ to NADP+. Construction of a set of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying a mutated strictly NADPH-dependent XR and NADP+-dependent XDH genes with overexpression of endogenous xylulokinase (XK), effects of complete NADPH/NADP+ recycling on ethanol fermentation and xylitol accumulation, overview. The mutated strains demonstrate 0% and 10% improvement in ethanol production, and reduced xylitol accumulation, ranging 34.4-54.7% compared with the control strain | Scheffersomyces stipitis |

metabolism | the redox balance between xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) is thought to be an important factor in effective xylose fermentation | Scheffersomyces stipitis |
physiological function | strictly NADPH-dependent XR with mutated strict NADP+-dependent XDH are more effective in increasing bioethanol production and decreasing xylitol accumulation than the wild-type, overview | Scheffersomyces stipitis |
