Article Abstract
Xylose, an important sugar component of lignocellulosic biomass, is often inefficiently utilized due to limitations in its transport and metabolic pathways. This study aimed to enhance the xylose metabolism in through metabolic engineering and transcriptional regulation strategies. First, the xylose assimilation pathway was constructed by the heterologous expression of xylose isomerase (XylA) and xylulose kinase (XylB), which improved the strain's xylose metabolic capability. Transcriptomic analysis identified IolT2 as a potential xylose transporter. Furthermore, the introduction of the xylose-specific transporter XylE enhanced xylose transport and reduced the inhibitory effect of glucose on xylose metabolism. The strain WTABE_ALE6, selected through adaptive laboratory evolution, exhibited improved xylose utilization efficiency, supporting its ability to coutilize glucose and xylose in mixed-sugar fermentation. This study provides insights into optimizing the xylose utilization and glucose-xylose coutilization in , which may facilitate the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass and the production of biobased chemicals.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a biopolymer with critical applications in osteoarthritis treatment and biomedical sectors, faces production challenges due to low yields and high costs. This study established a high-yield chondroitin (the major precursor of CS) production platform in Corynebacterium glutamicum for the simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose from corn straw hydrolysate. Firstly, through codon optimization of genes encoding chondroitin synthase (KfoC) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-4-epimerase (KfoA), combined with tailoring metabolic pathways and medium components for chondroitin synthesis, yielded the high-titer strain CgC25.

The bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS) mediates the uptake of specific carbohydrates via IIC transporters. Here, we report the crystal and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of Leminorella grimontii galactitol-specific PTS enzyme IIC component (LgGatC), which is implicated in D-xylose uptake and belongs to the ascorbate-galactitol (AG) superfamily of IIC proteins. These structures, determined in the presence and absence of D-xylose, capture the transporter in an outward-facing conformation.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Current diagnostic approaches are invasive, costly, and time-consuming, underscoring the need for non-invasive, accurate diagnostic methods.
Methods: We conducted a targeted metabolomic analysis of 49 metabolites related to central carbon metabolism in urinary samples from individuals with IBD and control group.
