| Research Abstract |
The main components of plant biomass are carbohydrates, a mixture of cellulose, and hemicellulose. When cellulose and hemi-cellulose are hydrolyzed, their constituent sugars, glucose(a six carbon sugar, hence "C6") and xylose(a five carbon sugar, hence,"C5"), are produced respectively. As a method of metabolizing the C5 sugars is required to utilize the biomass effectively, Bacillus subtilis was used to metabolize the C5 sugar. Production of a useful antibiotic as a model compound was employed, and the higher productivity was observed, and the usefulness of C5 sugars were shown.
