Abstract
The kinetics and regulation of d-xylose uptake were investigated in the efficient pentose fermentor Candida succiphila, and in Kluyveromyces marxianus, which assimilate but do not ferment pentose sugars. Active high-affinity (K m ∼ 3.8 mM; V max ∼ 15 nmol/[mg·min]) and putative facilitated diffusion low-affinity (K m ∼ 140 mM; V max ∼ 130 nmol/[mg·min]) transport activities were found in C. succiphila grown, respectively, on xylose or glucose. K. marxianus showed facilitated diffusion low-affinity (K m ∼ 103 mM; V max ∼ 190 nmol/[mg·min]) transport activity when grown on xylose under microaerobic conditions, and both a low-affinity and an active high-affinity (K m ∼ 0.2 mM; V max ∼ 10 nmol/[mg·min]) transport activity when grown on xylose under fully aerobic conditions.
