Study on Biochemical Preparation of Natural and Rare Carbohydrate (Pentoses) | Chapter 1 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 7

 Unnatural or unusual monosaccharides can be produced via biochemical processes, which are mainly microbial or enzymatic. By fermenting D-glucose with Candida famata R28, D-arabitol was generated. Acetobacter aceti IFO 3281 may manufacture D-xylulose from D-arabitol. Using L-ribose isomerase, D-lyxose was generated enzymatically from D-xylulose (L-RI). Ribitol is a kind of ribitol.  Microbial bioconversion with Acetobacter aceti IFO 3281 oxidised the glucose to L-ribulose, while the enzyme D-tagatose-3-epimerase epimerized the glucose to L-xylulose. The isomerization of L-RI yielded L-Lyxose. Furthermore, biochemically, L-ribose and L-arabinose were produced from ribitol by oxidation with Acetobacter aceti IFO 3281 and isomerization with L-RI and L-arabinose isomerase. (L-AI) and (L-AI), respectively. Bioconversions of cells or enzymes can also yield other pentoses. This research is significant in terms of rare sugar preparation and relevance.
