Fig. 1From: An engineered cryptic Hxt11 sugar transporter facilitates glucose–xylose co-consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Utilization of d-xylose by up-regulation of the cryptic Hxt11 hexose transporter. a Growth curve of evolved strain DS68625-evo (filled square) and wild-type DS68625 (open square) on 2 % d-xylose. b Expression level of HXT 8–17 in the strain DS68625-evo. The error bars represent the standard error of the mean from two technical samples. c Deletion of the HXT11 gene from the strain DS68625-evo. d Growth of the DS68625evo (filled square) and ∆hxt11 DS68625-evo (open square) strains on 2 % d-xylose. e Growth of strain DS68616 containing the natively expressed set of Hxt transporters (filled square), DS68625 lacking HXT1–7 and GAL2 but expressing HXT11 (open circle) and HXT12 (filled circle), and the empty vector control (open square) on 2 % d-xyloseBack to article page
