Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)-dependent aldolases demonstrate important values in the production of rare ketoses due to their unique stereoselectivities. As a specific example, we developed an efficient Escherichia coli whole-cell biocatalytic cascade system in which rare ketoses were produced from abundant
