Bioproduction of a novel sugar 1-deoxy-L-fructose by Enterobacter aerogenes IK7; isomerization of a 6-deoxyhexose to a 1-deoxyhexose
1-Deoxy-l-fructose, a very rare monosaccharide, was produced by hydrogenation of 6-deoxy-l-mannose (l-rhamnose)-the only cheaply available deoxy sugar-to 1-deoxy-l-mannitol (l-rhamnitol) followed by oxidation with Enterobacter aerogenes IK7. The entire procedure was conducted in water and shows the...
