US Patent:

20090325241, Dec 31, 2009

Filed:

Jun 15, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/484714

Inventors:

Thomas William Jeffries - Madison WI, US
JuYun Bae - Madison WI, US
Bernice Chin-yun Lin - Cupertino CA, US
Jennifer Rebecca Headman Van Vleet - Visalen CA, US

International Classification:

C12P 19/02
C12N 15/11
C12N 15/81
C12N 1/19
C12P 7/06

US Classification:

435105, 536 231, 4353201, 4352542, 435161

Abstract:

Disclosed are nucleic acid constructs comprising coding sequences operably linked to a promoter not natively associated with the coding sequence. The coding sequences encode proteins that allow recombinant strains of expressing the protein to grow on xylose, and allow or increase uptake of xylose by or expressing the coding sequences. Expression of the coding sequences enhances uptake of xylose and/or glucose, allowing increased ethanol or xylitol production.
