摘要: d-chiro-Inositol (DCI) is a drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome, since it improves efficiency with which body uses insulin also promotes ovulation. Here, we report genetic modification Bacillus subtilis production DCI from myo-inositol (MI). The B. iolABCDEFGHIJ operon encodes enzymes multiple steps MI catabolic pathway. In first second steps, converted to 2-keto-MI (2KMI) by IolG then 3d-(3,5/4)-trihydroxycyclohexane-1,2-dione IolE. this study, identified iolI encoding inosose isomerase, converts 2KMI 1-keto-d-chiro-inositol (1KDCI), found that reduces 1KDCI DCI. Inactivation iolE in mutant constitutively expressing iol blocked pathway accumulate 2KMI, was via activity IolI IolG. able convert at least 6% input culture medium
