Unveiling the impact of allulose on oral microbiota and biofilm formation via a cariogenic potential assessment platform [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionThe increased consumption of refined carbohydrates, particularly sucrose, has contributed to metabolic disorders and oral diseases such as dental caries by promoting dysbiotic biofilm formation and reducing microbial diversity.

Gut microbial utilization of the alternative sweetener, D-allulose, via AlsE [PDF]

Communications Biology
D-allulose, a rare sugar with emerging potential as a low-calorie sweetener, has garnered attention as an alternative to other commercially available alternative sweeteners, such as sugar alcohols, which often cause severe gastrointestinal discomfort.

Investigation of the Hydration Behavior of Different Sugars by Time Domain-NMR [PDF]

Foods, 2022
The hydration behavior of sugars varies from each other and examining the underlying mechanism is challenging. In this study, the hydration behavior of glucose, fructose, allulose (aka rare sugar), and sucrose have been explored using different Time ...

Computational design of allulose-responsive biosensor toolbox for auto-inducible protein expression and CRISPRi mediated dynamic metabolic regulation [PDF]

Nature Communications
Biosensors based on transcription factors (TFs) have shown extensive applications in synthetic biology. Due to the complex multi-domain structure of effector-TF-DNA, computational design of TFs remains a challenge.

Construction and Optimization of Biosynthetic Pathway for the Production of D-Allulose from Glucose in Escherichia coli [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
A pathway in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) was constructed to produce D-allulose from D-glucose via a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation strategy. The genes related to competitive pathways were deleted using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and allulose-6-phosphate

Optimization of fermentation conditions for whole cell catalytic synthesis of D-allulose by engineering Escherichia coli [PDF]

Scientific Reports
D-allulose/D-psicose is a significant rare sugar with broad applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and other industries. In this study, we cloned the D-allulose 3-epimerase (DPEase) gene from Arthrobacter globiformis M30, using pET22b as the vector ...

The effect of allulose, sucralose, and xylitol on Streptococcus mutans acid productionWhy Is This Important? [PDF]

JADA Foundational Science
Background: Caries is a bacterial infection driven by a dysbiotic biofilm enriched and fueled by sugar. Frequent consumption of sugar can impart negative health effects, including caries; thus, there is increased interest in identifying less cariogenic ...

Impact of non-nutritive sweeteners on bacterial quorum sensing and phenotypic expression: implications for gut microbiome dynamics [PDF]

Gut Microbiome
Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) are popular sugar substitutes, valued for their potential to reduce caloric intake and associated health risks. However, their long-term effects on the human gut microbiome remain debatable.
