Figure 7

Time course of oxidative fermentation of D-sorbitol by the PQQ biosynthesis enhanced engineered strains. The symbols ▼, ●, ▲, and ■ represent the concentration of D-sorbitol, L-sorbose, L-sorbosone, and 2-KLG produced by G. oxydans/pGUC-tufB-SH3-sdh-GGGGS-sndh-tufB-SH3lig-(GGGGS)2-cutA-tufB-pqqABCDE, respectively. The symbol ○ represents OD600 of G. oxydans/pGUC-tufB-SH3-sdh-GGGGS-sndh-tufB-SH3lig-(GGGGS)2-cutA-tufB-pqqABCDE, respectively. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates.
