USTC # TAGO–Diet Sugar Tagatose Production with Thermotolerant Yeast # Overconsumption of sugars are partly related to the growing rates of obesity and diabetes. Tagatose, a rare hexose, is almost as sweet as surcose while its caloric content is lower. In our project, we engineerd two different metabolic pathways, one using isomerase and the other using reductase and dehydrogenase, to product tagatose with lactose in Kluyveromyces marxianus, a thermotolerant yeast. ...
