The cellodextrin substrate was used as an index for improving cellulose hydrolyte assimilating ability, but the efficiency of cellulose conversion should be estimated by raw cellulose substrate, such as avicel.
Furthermore, to engineer K. marxianus KY3 to be a better CBP host for ethanol production, a number of issues still need to be resolved, such as expanding the variety of cocktail enzymes, increasing the number of gene cassettes, improving the pentose assimilating ability, decreasing the ethanol consumption rate and employing the cell surface engineering technology [ 24, 34].
All the tested yeast strains showed pentose-assimilating ability.
The xylose-assimilating ability of the constructed strain was significantly improved by long term adaptive evolution.
Because of their lactose-assimilating ability, Kluyveromyces yeasts have long been used in industrial processes involved in the elimination of this sugar.
To demonstrate the sugar-assimilating ability of P. hubeiensis IPM1-10 usugarsugar mixtures as the carbon source, a time-course analysis of sugar consumption, lipid concentration, and cell mass was carried out (Fig. 5).
Besides, the ability of assimilating carbon molecules could provide additional hints to comprehend the ecological success of Prochlorococcus.
In his one-on-one interviews and a large-scale random survey of Holocaust survivors, Helmreich identified ten characteristics that accounted for their success in life: flexibility, assertiveness, tenacity, optimism, intelligence, distancing ability, group consciousness, the ability to assimilate the knowledge of their survival, the capacity to find meaning in life, and courage.
The ability of a model in assimilating measurement data will be helpful to improve model prediction.
The yeasts displaying these cellulases were given the ability to assimilate cellooligosaccharide, suggesting the possibility that the assimilation of cellulosic materials may be carried out by S. cerevisiae displaying heterologous cellulase proteins on the cell surface.
Later studies have identified separate functional domains within which VMC is impaired, including reduced ability to assimilate the extent and speed of target movement during tracking [6], [9], and reduced ability to control the direction of hand movement during free tracing of a model path [9] [11].
