-Inositol (DCI) is a drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome, since it improves the efficiency with which the body uses insulin and also promotes ovulation. Here, we report genetic modification of
Bacillus subtilis
for production of DCI from
myo
-inositol (MI). The
B. subtilis iolABCDEFGHIJ
operon encodes enzymes for the multiple steps of the MI catabolic pathway. In the first and second steps, MI is converted to 2-keto-MI (2KMI) by IolG and then to 3
d
-(3,5/4)-trihydroxycyclohexane-1,2-dione by IolE. In this study, we identified
iolI
encoding inosose isomerase, which converts 2KMI to 1-keto-
d

chiro
-inositol (1KDCI), and found that IolG reduces 1KDCI to DCI. Inactivation of
iolE
in a mutant constitutively expressing the
iol
operon blocked the MI catabolic pathway to accumulate 2KMI, which was converted to DCI via the activity of IolI and IolG. The mutant was able to convert at least 6% of input MI in the culture medium to DCI.
