Simultaneous optimization of lignocellulosic sugar catabolism via systematic laboratory evolution under complex selection pressure

Report on automated adaptive laboratory evolution experiments that shaped microbial sugar-use strategies and stable co-utilization in engineered microbes for lignocellulosic conversion.

Key Takeaways
  • Please note there may be errors present which affect the content, and all legal disclaimers apply
  • Efficient co-utilization of hexose and pentose sugars from lignocellulose is essential for microbial bioconversion
  • We use a Pseudomonas putida strain engineered to catabolize xylose and arabinose to examine how resource abundance
