l Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol Actions

Few anaerobic bacteria, fungi and plants express an intracellular metalloenzyme called D-xylose isomerase (XI). Most bacteria use the enzyme D-xylose isomerase to transform D-xylose to D-xylulose. D-Xylose isomerase (XI) converts the aldo-sugars xylose and glucose to their keto analogs xylulose and fructose.

Application

Immobilized glucose isomerase produced from Streptomyces murinus was used for the isomerization of xylose.Glucose isomerase is used in the food industry to produce high-fructose corn syrup.

Unit Definition

one unit converts glucose to fructose at an initial rate of 1 μmole per min at standard analytical conditions
