This study identifies a link between circadian temperature compensation and metabolic redox signaling, showing that metabolic sensing modulates the core circadian mechanism to maintain period stability across temperatures.

This study engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae to grow on xylose via oxidative pathways, achieving 1.5 g/L ethylene glycol production and enabling xylose utilization through both Dahms and Weimberg pathways.
