Product Information
Name:5-Keto-D-gluconic acid
Synonyms:
- D-Xylo-5-Hexulosonic acid5-Oxo-5-deoxy-D-gluconic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:5-Keto-D-gluconic acid is an intermediate in the synthetic pathway of glucose. The enzyme 5-keto-D-gluconate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of 5-keto-D-gluconate to D-glucono-1,5-lactone. This reaction is important for plant physiology and is used industrially for the production of citric acid. In order to synthesize 5-keto-D-gluconic acid, a p. pastoris strain was engineered with an increased expression of 5KGDH, which led to an increase in the production of this compound. This synthesis took place through a dinucleotide phosphate intermediate that was formed by two molecules of malonic acid. Citric acid was also synthesized from this intermediate. The enzyme activity levels were measured using a bacterial strain that contained a wild type gene sequence (WT) and a mutant gene sequence (
