Cloning and characterization of the xyl1 gene, encoding an NADH-preferring xylose reductase from Candida parapsilosis, and its functional expression in Candida tropicalis

Article Abstract:

Research describes cloning of Candida parapsilosis mutant strain KFCC-10875xyl1 gene encoding an NADH-preferring xylose reductase and its expression in the yeast Candida tropicalis, which is used in the industrial production of xylitol. The xylose reductase from C. parapsilosis exhibits a dual coenzyme specificity.
