An improved Bacillus subtilis cell factory for producing scyllo-inositol, a promising therapeutic agent for Alzheimer’s disease

BACKGROUND: Bacillus subtilis 168 possesses an efficient pathway to metabolize some of the stereoisomers of inositol, including myo-inositol (MI) and scyllo-inositol (SI). Previously we reported a prototype of a B. subtilis cell factory with modified inositol metabolism that converts MI into SI in t...
