Uptake of D-xylose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell (symport system). Transport is driven by the proton motive force generated by either malolactic fermentation or by the metabolism of D-glucose. Transport is inhibited by 6-deoxy-D-glucose. By D-xylose. Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family.
