It is intended to provide a novel NAD+-independent myo-inositol 2-dehydrogenase which converts myo-inositol into scyllo-inosose in the absence of NAD+; a novel enzyme scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase which stereospecifically reduces scyllo-inosose into scyllo-inositol in the presence of NADH or NADPH; and a novel microorganism which belongs to the genus Acetobacter or Burkholderia and can convert myo-inositol into scyllo-inositol. By using these enzymes or the microorganism, scyllo-inositol is produced. Furthermore, scyllo-inositol is purified by adding boric acid and a metal salt to a liquid mixture containing scyllo-inositol and a neutral saccharide other than scyllo-inositol to form a scyllo-inositol/boric acid complex, separating the complex from the liquid mixture, dissolving the thus separated complex in an acid to give an acidic solution or an acidic suspension and then purifying scyllo-inositol from the acidic solution or the acidic suspension.
旨在提供一种新型的不依赖于 NAD+ 的肌醇 2-脱氢酶,该酶可在缺乏 NAD+ 的情况下将肌醇转化为酰基肌醇糖;一种新型的酰基肌醇脱氢酶,它能在有 NADH 或 NADPH 的情况下,立体特异性地将酰基肌醇还原成酰基肌醇;以及一种新型微生物,它属于醋酸菌属或伯克霍尔德菌属,能将肌醇转化成酰基肌醇。通过使用这些酶或微生物,可以生产出木质素肌醇。此外,提纯木质素肌醇的方法是:向含有木质素肌醇和除木质素肌醇以外的中性糖的液体混合物中加入硼酸和金属盐,形成木质素肌醇/硼酸复合物,将复合物从液体混合物中分离出来,将分离出来的复合物溶解在酸中,得到酸性溶液或酸性悬浮液,然后从酸性溶液或酸性悬浮液中提纯木质素肌醇。
