Improving xylitol production by semi-rational engineering of xylitol dehydrogenase and optimizing cofactor regeneration in Gluconobacter oxydans [PDF]
BMC BiotechnologyBackground Xylitol, a widely used sugar substitute in food and medicine, can be produced through microbial bioconversion using glucose as the primary substrate. In this process, a critical factor limiting xylitol production is the relatively low activity
