Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are methods of making microorganisms modified for increased xylose consumption as compared to unmodified microorganisms. The methods include providing xylose-consuming microorganisms comprising two or more copies of a nucleic acid sequence encoding xylose isomerase and two or more copies of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a xylose kinase, culturing the microorganisms in medium containing xylose and harvesting a portion of the microorganisms. These steps are repeated multiple times. The microorganisms are then isolated. The isolated microorganisms have increased xylose consumption rates compared to control xylose-consuming microorganisms. Also provided are a population of microorganisms made by the provided methods. Methods of culturing the population of microorganisms and methods of reducing xylitol production in cultures comprising the population of microorganisms are provided.
