Abstract
D-Xylulose is efficiently converted into xylitol by allowing a microorganism which is transformed with a gene encoding xylitol dehydrogenase and has an ability to supply reducing power to act on D-xylulose to produce xylitol, and collecting the produced xylitol.
Claims9
A method for producing xylitol comprising the steps of reacting a microorganism which is transformed by a gene encoding xylitol dehydrogenase and has an ability to supply reducing power with D-xylulose to produce xylitol, and collecting the produced xylitol.
A method for producing xylitol comprising steps of culturing a microorganism which is transformed by a gene encoding xylitol dehydrogenase and has an ability to supply reducing power and a microorganism which has an ability to convert D-arabitol into D-xylulose in a medium containing D-arabitol to produce xylitol, and collecting the produced xylitol.
A method for producing xylitol comprising steps of culturing a microorganism which is transformed by a xylitol dehydrogenase and has an ability to supply reducing power and a microorganism which has an ability to produce D-xylulose from glucose in a suitable medium to produce xylitol, and collecting the produced xylitol.
