d-Allulose is a rare hexose with great application potential, owing to its moderate sweetness, low energy, and unique physiological functions. The current strategies for d-allulose production, whether industrialized or under development, utilize six-carbon sugars such as d-glucose or d-fructose as a substrate and are usually based on the principle of reversible Izumoring epimerization. In this work, we designed a novel route that coupled the pathways of methanol reduction, pentose phosphate (PP), ribulose monophosphate (RuMP), and allulose monophosphate (AuMP) for to irreversibly synthesize d-allulose from d-xylose and methanol. After improving the expression of AlsE by SUMO fusion and regulating the carbon fluxes by knockout of FrmRAB, RpiA, PfkA, and PfkB, the titer of d-allulose in fed-batch fermentation reached ≈70.7 mM, with a yield of ≈0.471 mM/mM on d-xylose or ≈0.512 mM/mM on methanol.

d-Allulose, a C-3 epimer of d-fructose, has great market potential in food, healthcare, and medicine due to its excellent biochemical and physiological properties. Microbial fermentation for d-allulose production is being developed, which contributes to cost savings and environmental protection. A novel metabolic pathway for the biosynthesis of d-allulose from a d-xylose-methanol mixture has shown potential for industrial application.

Background: Rare sugars have become promising 'sugar alternatives' because of their low calories and unique physiological functions. Among the family of rare sugars, d-allulose is one of the sugars attracting interest. Ketose 3-epimerases (KEase), including d-tagatose 3-epimerase (DTEase) and d-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase), are mainly used for d-allulose production.

Researchers continue to search for efficient processes to reduce the production costs of rare sugars. In this paper, we report a novel D-xylose isomerase from Shinella zoogloeoides NN6 (SzXI) and its application for efficient rare sugar production. Purified SzXI did not show remarkable properties when compared with those of a previously reported D-xylose isomerase.

D-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAE) is promising to be used for the production of the rare sugar D-allulose in industry. However, the poor thermostability and low catalytic efficiency limited its large-scale industrial applications. A dual-enzyme screening method was developed to measure the activity of the D-allulose 3-epimerase from Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 by employing a xylose isomerase, enabling high-throughput screening of mutants with higher thermostability.
