RESUMO

The NADPH-dependent l-sorbose reductase (SR) of l-sorbose-producing Gluconobacter suboxydans IFO 3291 contributes to intracellular l-sorbose assimilation. The gene disruptant showed no SR activity and did not assimilate the once-produced l-sorbose, indicating that the SR functions mainly as an l-sorbose-reducing enzyme in vivo and not as a d-sorbitol-oxidizing enzyme.
