Article Synopsis
  • D-galactose can be converted into D-galactonate by engineered E. coli, which is beneficial for the polymer and cosmetic industries.
  • Engineered E. coli expressing a specific galactose dehydrogenase showed significant D-galactonate production, especially when metabolic pathways for D-galactose and D-galactonate were blocked.
  • By optimizing fermentation conditions, the study achieved a high concentration and yield of D-galactonate, highlighting the potential for industrial applications.

The amenability of three brown algal species, Sargassum fulvellum, Laminaria japonica and Undaria pinnatifida, to hydrolysis were investigated using the ionic liquid (IL), 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl). Compositional analyses of the brown algae reveal that sufficient amounts of sugars (15.5-29.
