  • Title: Complementation of the inability of Lactobacillus strains to utilize D-xylose with D-xylose catabolism-encoding genes of Lactobacillus pentosus.
    Author: Posno M, Heuvelmans PT, van Giezen MJ, Lokman BC, Leer RJ, Pouwels PH.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1991 Sep; 57(9):2764-6. PubMed ID: 1768150.
    Abstract:
    The inability of two Lactobacillus strains to ferment D-xylose was complemented by the introduction of Lactobacillus pentosus genes encoding D-xylose isomerase, D-xylulose kinase, and a D-xylose catabolism regulatory protein. This result opens the possibility of using D-xylose fermentation as a food-grade selection marker for Lactobacillus spp.
