3,6-Anhydro-L-galactonate cycloisomerase (ACI), which is found in the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. strain EJY3, converts 3,6-anhydro-L-galactonate into 2-keto-3-deoxygalactonate. ACI is a key enzyme in the metabolic pathway of 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (AHG). Study of AHG metabolism is important for the efficient fermentation of agar and biofuel production, because AHG is a sugar that is non-fermentable by commercial microorganisms. The aci gene from Vibrio sp. strain EJY3 was cloned, and the recom ...[more]
