General description
Xylose is a five-carbon sugar that contributes to lignocellulose in plants. Xylose is predominantly found in hardwoods and agricultural residues.
Application
D-(+)-Xylose has been used:
- as one of the component to stimulate microbial activity
- for the enhancement of biofilm formation
- as a part of biochemical tests for the identification of B. cereus group
- for substrate screening characterization
Biochem/physiol Actions
Estimation of xylose in the urine after oral administration, is useful in diagnosing absorption of carbohydrates and malabsorption of non-pancreatic molecules. Xylose plays a significant role in the biologically conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals.

Organic acids derived from engineered microbes can replace fossil-derived chemicals in many applications. Fungal hosts are preferred for organic acid production because they tolerate lignocellulosic hydrolysates and low pH, allowing economic production and recovery of the free acid. However, cell
