Simultaneous optimization of lignocellulosic sugar catabolism via systematic laboratory evolution under complex selection pressure

Efficient co-utilization of hexose and pentose sugars from lignocellulose is essential for microbial bioconversion, yet engineered catabolic pathways can be unstable or suboptimal in complex resource environments. Here, we use a Pseudomonas putida strain engineered to catabolize xylose and arabinose to examine how reso...
