To develop a method combining enzymatic catalysis and resting-cell biotransformation to produce allitol from low cost substrate D-glucose. The recombinant E. coli expressing D-psicose-3-epimerase (DPE), ribitol dehydrogenase (RDH) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH) for allitol production from D-fructose was constructed. The

An efficient method for conversion of allitol to D-psicose was achieved by a resting cell reaction of Bacillus pallidus Y25 for the first time. Notably, it was possible to produce D-allose and D-altrose from allitol directly via D-psicose by prolonging
