Supply of NAD(P)H is a key factor in microbial production of xylitol from xylose. To facilitate NAD(P)H supplementation, acetaldehydedehydrogenase6 (ALD6) and acetyl-CoAsynthetase1 (ACS1) were overexpressed in recombinantSaccharomycescerevisiae harboring the Pichia stipitis xylose reductase (XR) gene. In-vitro activity analysis confirmed the functional expression of both enzymes. Glucose-limited fed-batch fermentations of Saccharomycescerevisiae BJ3505:XR strains overexpressing ACS1 and/or ALD6 were performed by feeding 600 g/L glucose in the presence of 100 g/L xylose. Among them, ACS1overexpression gave the best result of xylitolproduction: 91.3 g/L xylitol concentration and 1.76 g/L h xylitol productivity, which were 25% and 11% increase, relative to those of the control and ALD6-overexpressing strains. Considering the changes of cell growth, ethanol and acetate production, a remarkable enhancement of xylitolproduction by ACS1overexpression seemed be ascribed to energy and NAD(P)H generation through a metabolism from acetaldehyde to acetyl-CoA and TCA cycle.
