The L-arabinose utilization pathway was established inSaccharomyces cerevisiae, by expressing the codon-optimizedaraA,araB, andaraDgenes ofLactobacillus plantarum. After overexpressing theTAL1,TKL1,RPE1,RKI1, andGAL2genes and adaptive evolution, the L-arabinose utilization of the recombinant strain became efficient. The resulting strain displayed a maximum specific growth rate of 0.075 h−1, a maximum specific L-arabinose consumption rate of 0.61 g h−1 g−1dry cell weight, and a promising ethanol yield of 0.43 g g−1from L-arabinose fermentation.
