NOVELTY - Use of nucleic acid molecule, is claimed for transforming a cell, where the nucleic acid molecule comprises nucleic acid sequence encoding plant pentose transporter, and the transformation enables the cell to take up L-arabinose. The cell is yeast cell. The plant pentose transporter comprises an amino acid sequence exhibiting at least 70%, preferably 80%, more preferably 90% identity to a 498 amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) fully defined in the specification or functional equivalents of SEQ ID NO: 1.    USE - The nucleic acid molecule is useful for transforming a cell, preferably yeast cell useful for conversion and metabolization process, particularly recombinant fermentation of biomaterial containing pentose, preferably arabinose, more preferably L-arabinose, or biomaterial containing hexoses and pentoses, preferably D-glucose, D-xylose and L-arabinose, and producing metabolization product, particularly bio-based chemicals or biofuels, such as lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, 1-butanol, isobutanol, 2-butanol, other alcohols, amino acids, 1,3-propanediol, ethylene, glycerol, beta -lactam antibiotic or cephalosporin, alkanes, terpenes, isoprenoids and amorphadiene, which is the precursor molecule of antimalarial drug, and bioalcohols, preferably bioethanol and/or biobutanol (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The nucleic acid molecule produces bioethanol cost-effectively as expression of same enables transportation of L-arabinose to the transformed cell with high affinity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Use of nucleic acid molecule, is claimed for transforming a cell, where the nucleic acid molecule comprises nucleic acid sequence encoding plant pentose transporter, and the transformation enables the cell to take up L-arabinose. The cell is yeast cell. The plant pentose transporter comprises an amino acid sequence exhibiting at least 70%, preferably 80%, more preferably 90% identity to a 498 amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) fully defined in the specification or functional equivalents of SEQ ID NO: 1, which have an in vitro and/or in vivo pentose transport function. The plant pentose transporter originates from Arabidopsis. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) yeast cell (YC1) transformed with nucleic acid expression construct comprising the above-mentioned nucleic acid molecule and regulatory elements operatively linked with the nucleic acid sequence, where the regulatory elements allows for the expression of the plant pentose transporter in the cell (YC1) and the expression of the construct in the cell imparts capability to take up L-arabinose;    (2) method (M1) for producing bioalcohol involves (a) converting medium containing pentose source with the cell (YC1) that converts pentose to bioalcohol, and (b) optionally obtaining the bioalcohol; and    (3) method (M2) for producing metabolization product involves (a) converting medium containing pentose source with the cell (YC1), that converts pentose to produce the metabolization product, and (b) optionally obtaining the metabolization product.
