Xylitol-phosphate dehydrogenase (XPDH) genes from several Gram-positive bacteria were isolated and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. The substrate specificities of the recombinant XPDH enzymes were compared and it was found that the XPDH enzymes of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Clostridium difficile had the highest selectivity towards D-xylulose 5-phosphate. Expression of these two XPDH enzymes in D-ribulose and D-xylulose producing B. subtilis strain resulted in strains of B. subtilis capable of converting D-glucose into xylitol at around 23% yield.
从几种革兰氏阳性细菌中分离出木糖醇磷酸脱氢酶(XPDH)基因,并在枯草芽孢杆菌中表达。比较了重组XPDH酶的底物特异性,发现鼠李糖乳杆菌和艰难梭菌的XPDH酶对5-磷酸-D-木酮糖具有最高的选择性。在生产D-核糖和D-木酮糖的枯草芽孢杆菌菌株中表达这两种XPDH酶,得到了能够将D-葡萄糖转化为木糖醇的枯草芽孢杆菌菌株,转化率约为23%。
