This work builds upon previous studies Zhang's team has done with xylose, the most abundant simple plant pentose sugar,
Unlike other hydrogen fuel production methods that rely on highly processed sugars, the Virginia Tech team used dirty biomass--the husks and stalks of corn plants--to create their fuel.
He also confirmed the ability of this system to use both sugars glucose and xylose at the same time,
Typically in biological conversions, these two sugars can only be used sequentially, not simultaneously which adds time and money to the process.
but also avoids complicated sugar flux regulation. The team also increased enzymatic generation rates. This reaction rate is fast enough for hydrogen production in distributed hydrogen-fueling stations.
The sugars produced by these mothers, called"secretors,"are digested not by the infant, but instead nourish specific bacteria that colonize the babies'guts soon after birth.

Others break apart substrates into multiple products, such as ones that break down starch into sugars. Enzymes are used in a wide range of commercial applications,
One of its major uses is the production of short sugar chains that can serve as beneficial prebiotics.
This enzyme builds chains of sugar molecules by adding individual sugar units to existing chains.
However, its products are of varying length, leading low amounts of the desired short sugar chains.
The team set out to design a monobody that causes the enzyme to only act on small sugar chains.
and prevents it from accepting large sugars as a substrate--thereby forcing it to produce only short sugar chains."
"We were able to design one monobody that prevents beta-galactosidase from using certain sugars as starting material

The amount of sugars that fill a seed directly determines the seed size. A team of scientists led by Carnegie Wolf Frommer has discovered now that a sugar-transport protein in maize
and rice called SWEET4 is both necessary for successful seed filling and shows genome changes that indicate domestication by humans.
more sugar-filled seeds such as maize kernels were more attractive to human cultivators, due to their nutritive value and their ability to produce sturdier seedlings.
Frommer and his lab have worked extensively on the family of SWEET sugar transporters, which play several key roles in plants,
and transporting sugars from the leaves to other tissues. They also discovered that SWEETS make plants susceptible to hijacking by pathogens that steal plant energy supplies before they can be transported to the seeds.
Frommer team analyzed maize genes involved in sugar-related processes to find ones that were seed urned onduring development.
which encodes a sugar transporter protein in maize, was shown to be expressed specifically in the maize seed by the group of Prem Chourey at University of Florida,
