| Abstract |
Bacillus subtilis 168 possesses an efficient pathway to metabolize some of the stereoisomers of inositol, including myo-inositol (MI) and scyllo-inositol (SI). Previously we reported a prototype of a B. subtilis cell factory with modified inositol metabolism that converts MI into SI in the culture medium. However, it wasted half of initial 1.0% (w/v) MI, and the conversion was limited to produce only 0.4% (w/v) SI. To achieve a more efficient SI production, we attempted additional modifications. |
