| Description | The wood-boring beetle associated fungus, Spathaspora passalidarum (Debaryomycetaceae) is one of a few yeasts known to efficiently ferment and metabolise xylose, a major component of plant cell walls. This rare ability makes this species of great interest to bioenergy research as effective xylose fermentation and utilisation is a major step in the production of biofuel from plant material. The S. passalidarum genome was sequenced in 2011 along with another xylose-fermenting yeast species Candida tenuis, in an effort to identify genes used for xylose metabolism for subsequent use in microbe engineering. |
