Article: New data from Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth illuminate research in life sciences.

Researchers detail in 'Engineering of pentose transport in Corynebacterium glutamicum to improve simultaneous utilization of mixed sugars,' new data in life sciences. "Corynebacterium glutamicum strains CRA1 and CRX2 are able to grow on L-arabinose and D-xylose, respectively, as sole carbon sources. Nevertheless, they exhibit the major shortcoming that their sugar consumption appreciably declines at lower concentrations of these substrates," scientists writing in the journal Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology report (see also Life Sciences).

"To address this, the C. glutamicum ATCC31831 L-arabinose transporter gene, araE, was independently integrated into ...
