Preliminary assessment of xylose and xylitol metabolism in Y. lipolytica. a Eukaryotic (blue) and prokaryotic (red) xylose pathways typical found in nature. The oleaginous yeast, Y. lipolytica, is most likely to have a xylose reductase (XYR), xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), and xylulose kinase (XKS). b Growth curve of Y. lipolytica PO1f (WT) in xylitol (black) and xylose (white) YSC media. c The top hits from BLAST analysis of the Y. lipolytica genome against known yeast xylose metabolism enzymes (XYR, XDH, and XKS). All error bars represent SD. (n = 3), except for (b) (n = 4)
