Patent

CA 2714592

The invention relates to a cell which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a xylose isomerase, wherein the amino acid sequence of the xylose isomerase has at least about 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 3 and wherein the nucleotide sequence is heterologous to the host. A cell of the invention may be used in a process for producing a fermentation product, such as ethanol. Such a process may comprise fermenting a medium containing a source of xylose with a cell of the invention such that the cell ferments xylose to the fermentation product.

L'invention concerne une cellule qui comprend une séquence nucléotidique codant une xylose isomérase, la séquence d'acides aminés de la xylose isomérase présentant environ au moins 70% d'identité séquentielle par rapport à la séquence d'acides aminés définie dans SEQ ID NO: 3, ladite séquence nucléotidique étant hétérologue à celle de l'hôte. Une cellule selon l'invention peut être utilisée dans un procédé pour produire un produit de fermentation comme l'éthanol. Un tel procédé peut consister à faire fermenter un milieu contenant une source de xylose à l'aide d'une cellule selon l'invention, de sorte que ladite cellule fasse fermenter la xylose pour obtenir un produit de fermentation selon l'invention.
