Introduction of glucose transporter or xylose degradation pathway to S. elongatus. Synthetic glucose transport in S. elongatus (A). Schematic representation of glucose transporter gene galP into S. elongatus genome (B) and growth profile of WT (empty circle), YQ1-ctrl (gray circle) and YQ2-gal (blue circle) with and without 5 g/L glucose in BG-11 medium (C). Synthetic xylose degradation pathway in S. elongatus (D). Schematic representation of xylose degradation pathway into S. elongatus genome (E) and growth profile of WT (empty circle), YQ1-ctrl (gray circle) and YQ3-xyl (orange circle) with and without 5 g/L xylose in BG-11 medium (F). Growth assays were conducted in duplicate and error bars denoted the standard deviation from the means of independent experiments. Glu, glucose; Xyl, xylose; Xylu, xylulose; Xylu-5-P, xylulose-5-phosphate; PPP, pentose phosphate pathway; NSI, neutral site I
