Engineering <i>Escherichia coli</i> to utilize erythritol as sole carbon source
2022-10-03
Abstract excerpt
Erythritol, one of the natural sugar alcohols, is widely used as a sugar substitute sweetener in food industries. Human themselves are not able to catabolize erythritol and their gut microbes lack related catabolic pathways either to metabolize erythritol.
