“…Finally, the recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3) expressing glf, fdh and mdh was able to and Gao (1996) High yield High material cost and polluted form 362 mM D-mannitol from an initial 500 mM D-fructose of within 8 h, and the molar yield Y D-mannitol/D-fructose reached 84% and a specific productivity was more than 4 g D-mannitol g −1 (cell dry weight) h −1 (Kaup et al, 2004). In order to overcome the instability of the recombinant strain, which possibly caused by factors such as the internal pH change of the cells, loss of cofactor NAD, high formate concentrations and export of D-mannitol, the fupL gene was additionally expressed in biotransformation experiments, and the final D-mannitol productivity of the strain was enhanced by 20% (Heuser et al, 2009). Secondly, in order to convert D-glucose to D-mannitol, an intracellular glucose isomerase, formate dehydrogenase, D-mannitol dehydrogenase, glucose isomerase, and glucose facilitator were co-expressed in the E. coli strain I, resulting in the production of up to 821 mM D-mannitol at the optimized pH and temperature (Kaup et al, 2005).…”
