Highly efficient production of Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 d-psicose 3-epimerase in Bacillus subtilis and use of these cells to produce d-psicose [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories, 2018
Background d-Psicose 3-epimerase (DPEase) catalyzes the isomerization of d-fructose to the rare sugar d-psicose, which may help prevent obesity, reduce blood sugar and blood fat, and inhibit intra-abdominal fat accumulation.

Streamlined production of immobilized D-psicose 3-epimerase via secretion in Pichia pastoris: a new paradigm for industrial D-psicose production

Microbial Cell Factories
Background D-psicose, a rare sugar with significant health benefits, holds great promise as a low-calorie sweetener. Its synthesis requires the enzyme called D-psicose 3-epimerase (DPEase), which converts D-fructose into D-psicose.

The Study on Long-Term Toxicity of D-Psicose in Rats

Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, 2009
D-Psicose is a rare sugar present in small quantities in natural products. In a previous study, we showed that D-psicose suppresses plasma glucose increases and reduces body fat accumulation in rats. Based on acute toxicity testing in rats, D-psicose is classified as an ordinary substance (LD(50) = 16 g/kg). Elucidating the effects of long term feeding

Effects of monosaccharides including rare sugars on proliferation of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites in vitro

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan with roles in pathogenicity of intestinal amoebiasis. E. histolytica trophozoites lack functional mitochondria and their energy production depends mostly on glycolysis.
