The conversion specificity of Bacillus pallidus Y25 for polyols, including elusive rare sugar alcohols, was investigated. B. pallidus cells showed transformation potential for several rare polyols, including allitol, L-mannitol, D/L-talitol, and D-iditol, and converted them to their corresponding ketoses. This

Cell extracts of Brucella abortus (British 19) catabolized erythritol through a series of phosphorylated intermediates to dihydroxyacetonephosphate and CO-2. Cell extracts required adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), Mg2+, inorganic orthophosphate, and reduced glutathione for activity. The first reaction

Rare sugars have various known biological functions and potential for applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries. Here we designed and constructed a recombination pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum, in which dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), an intermediate of the glycolytic pathway, and
