Fructophilic metabolism of mannitol-producing <i>Fructobacillus</i> strains under different carbon sources and electron acceptors
Both Fructobacillus strains were highly osmotolerant. Mannitol production decreased with sugar concentrations above 15% (w v-1), suggesting its use as a compatible solute against osmotic stress. Pyruvate competed with fructose as an electron acceptor, reducing mannitol production, while fructose was reduced to mannitol in the presence of glucose by regulating genes involved in fructose metabolism.
