Method For Making Mannitol With Lactobacillus Intermedius
view source
US Patent:

6855526, Feb 15, 2005
Filed:

May 15, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/146616
Inventors:

Badal C. Saha - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:

C12P007/18
US Classification:

435158, 435137, 435189, 435105, 435170
Abstract:

Mannitol is produced in a highly efficient fermentative method using NRRL B-30560, or in a biochemical method using mannitol dehydrogenase isolated from this strain. Fructose serves as the primary carbon substrate in both the fermentative and biochemical conversions, but important secondary carbon sources include glucose, maltose, mannose and galactose. Mannitol is useful in the food, pharmaceutical, and medicine industries as a sweet-tasting bodying and texturing agent.

Assignee:

Biotechnology Research Development Corporation - Peoria IL
International Classification:

C12P 7/60
C12N 1/21
US Classification:

435138, 43525233, 4352523
Abstract:

The invention provides biosynthetic routes to xylitol production that do not require pure -xylose for synthesis and that can utilize inexpensive substrates such as hemicellulose hydrolysates.

Abstract:

Recombinant microorganisms are useful for producing xylitol by fermentation of arabinose. The recombinant microorganisms are produced by transformation of host microorganisms with heterologous polynucleotide sequences coding for each of L-xylulose reductase, D-tagatose 3-epimerase, and L-arabinose isomerase, which transformants express the heterologous polynucleotides at a sufficient functional level to be effective to produce xylitol from arabinose. Production of xylitol is effected by contacting these recombinant microorganisms with a substrate comprising arabinose under conditions effective to produce xylitol from arabinose.
