From: Altering the coenzyme preference of xylose reductase to favor utilization of NADH enhances ethanol yield from xylose in a metabolically engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Figure 2

Comparison of XR activities of BP000 and BP10001 at different cofactor concentrations. Cells were grown aerobically on 20 g/L glucose and 20 g/L xylose and disrupted with Y-Per reagent. One hundred % specific activity of strain BP000 corresponds to values of 0.15 U/mg with NADH and 0.18 U/mg with NADPH. In strain BP10001, the specific activities are 0.26 U/mg with NADH and 0.33 U/mg with NADPH.
