Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A mutant ofS. chrysomallus with a D-glucose isomerase inducible by D-glucose or its catabolites was characterized. In contrast to the wild-type strain it showed a decreased catabolite repression by D-glucose of D-xylose consumption and a constitutive pentose phosphate pathway as well. A hypothesis concerning altered induction pattern of its D-glucose isomerase is discussed.
