Revisiting a ‘simple’ fungal metabolic pathway reveals redundancy, complexity and diversity
Summary Next to d‐glucose, the pentoses l‐arabinose and d‐xylose are the main monosaccharide components of plant cell wall polysaccharides and are therefore of major importance in biotechnological applications that use plant biomass as a substrate. Pentose catabolism is one of the best‐studied pathw...
