Abstract

Disclosed are nucleic acid constructs comprising coding sequences operably linked to a promoter not natively associated with the coding sequence. The coding sequences encodeproteins that allow recombinant strains ofexpressing the protein to grow on xylose, and allow or increase uptake of xylose byorexpressing the coding sequences. Expression of the coding sequences enhances uptake of xylose and/or glucose, allowing increased ethanol or xylitol production.
