Title:
XYLITOL-PRODUCING STRAIN TO WHICH AN ARABINOSE METABOLIC PATHWAY IS INTRODUCED, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING XYLITOL USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/046924
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for efficiently producing xylitol, which suppresses the production of the by-product arabitol by applying arabinose to cell metabolism in a complex medium of xylose and arabinose using a xylitol-producing strain to which an arabinose metabolic pathway is newly introduced. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing xylitol suppressing the production of arabitol, which hinders purification and crystallization during the production of xylitol, by performing codon optimization so as to effectively express the L-arabinose isomerase (araA), L-ribulokinase (araB), and L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase (araD) enzymes in Candida tropicalis strains; then inserting respective genes into a cassette including a promoter of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and a selectable marker URA3; and transferring the latter to Candida sp. The xylitol-producing strain to which an arabinose metabolic pathway is newly introduced of the present invention can suppress the production of arabitol and can thus be useful in producing xylitol at a high yield.
