PRODUCTION OF XYLITOL FROM GLUCOSE BY A RECOMBINANT STRAIN

The present invention relates to a recombinant microbial host for the production of xylitol, the recombinant microbial host containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a NAD + -specific D-arabitol 4-oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.11) using D-arabitol as substrate and producing D-xylulose as product, and a...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a recombinant microbial host for the production of xylitol, the recombinant microbial host containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a NAD + -specific D-arabitol 4-oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.11) using D-arabitol as substrate and producing D-xylulose as product, and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a NADPH-specific xylitol dehydrogenase using D-xylulose as substrate and producing xylitol as product.
