“…Gluconobacter oxydans has been widely applied in the industrial production of L-sorbose from D-sorbitol (De Wulf et al, 2000), dihydroxyacetone from glycerol (De La Morena et al, 2020), 1amino-L-sorbose from 1-amino-D-sorbitol (Schedel, 2000), and levan-type fructans from sucrose (Hövels et al, 2020). Furthermore, G. oxydans is also an excellent workhorse for the biosynthesis of 2-keto-D-gluconate (Li et al, 2016;Zhou et al, 2020), 5-keto-D-gluconate (Merfort et al, 2006), xylonic acid (Hahn et al, 2020;Shen et al, 2020), 5-keto-D-fructose (Battling et al, 2020;Hoffmann et al, 2020), and many other products (Deppenmeier et al, 2002;De Muynck et al, 2007). The wide applications of G. oxydans are mainly due to its unique dehydrogenases in the periplasm (Deppenmeier et al, 2002).…”
