Abstract
d-mannose has been widely used in food, medicine, cosmetic, and food-additive industries. To date, chemical synthesis or enzymatic conversion approaches based on iso/epimerization reactions for d-mannose production suffered from low conversion rate due to the reaction equilibrium, necessitating intricate separation processes for obtaining pure products on an industrial scale. To circumvent this challenge, this study showcased a new approach for d-mannose synthesis from glucose through constructing a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation pathway in an engineered strain. Specifically, the gene encoding phosphofructokinase (PfkA) in glycolytic pathway was deleted in Escherichia coli to accumulate fructose-6-phosphate (F6P). Additionally, one endogenous phosphatase, YniC, with high specificity to mannose-6-phosphate, was identified. In ΔpfkA strain, a recombinant synthetic pathway based on mannose-6-phosphate isomerase and YniC was developed to direct F6P to mannose. The resulting strain successfully produced 25.2 g/L mannose from glucose with a high conversion rate of 63% after transformation for 48 h. This performance surpassed the 15% conversion rate observed with 2-epimerases. In conclusion, this study presents an efficient method for achieving high-yield mannose synthesis from cost-effective glucose.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
