D-Ribose is a five-carbon sugar used for the commercial synthesis of riboflavin, antiviral agents, and flavor enhancers. Batch fermentations with transketolase-deficient B. subtilis JY1 were carried out to optimize the production of D-ribose from xylose. The best results for the fermentation were obtained with a temperature of $37^{\circ}C$ and an initial pH of 7.0. Among various sugars and sugar alcohols tested, glucose and sucrose were found to be the most effective for both cell growth and D-ribose production. The addition of 15 g/l xylose and 15 g/l glucose improved the fermentation performance, presumably due to the adequate supply of ATP in the xylose metabolism from D-xylulose to D-xylulose-5-phosphate. A batch culture in a 3.7-1 jar fermentor with 14.9 g/l xylose and 13.1 g/l glucose resulted in 10.1 g/l D-ribose concentration with a yield of 0.62 g D-ribose/g sugar consumed, and 0.25 g/l-h of productivity. Furthermore, the sugar utilization profile, indicating the simultaneous consumption of xylose and glucose, and respiratory parameters for the glucose and sucrose media suggested that the transketolase-deficient B. subtilis JY1 lost the glucose-specific enzyme II of the phosphoenolpyruvate transferase system.

This study evaluated the effects of D-ribose supplementation on exercise time in a hypoxic chamber. Eight healthy young males participated in experiments under all four different conditions; placebo+normoxic, placebo+hypoxic, ribose+normoxic, and ribose+hypoxic. Subjects took 1 g per 10 kg body weight of ribose dissolved in drinking water 30 minutes before and immediately before running. We observed the run-to-exhaustion time, the maximum heart rate, and the changing pattern of the heart rate during exercise. The longest running time was achieved when subjects ran under normoxic condition with ribose supplementation. The shortest running time occurred when subjects ran under hypoxic conditions without ribose supplementation. We measured MDA and GPx to determine any changes in oxidative stresses or antioxidative systems. MDA was affected by the environmental conditions and the running time. The activity of GPx showed a significant difference only with the different environmental conditions of exercise. The results of this study indicate that ribose can be considered a possible ergogenic during exercise in specific conditions, but more detailed and well-controlled studies are needed to make a definitive conclusion.

${\small{D}}$-Ribose is a value-added five-carbon sugar used for riboflavin production. To investigate the effects of oxygen supply and mixed sugar concentration on microbial production of ${\small{D}}$-ribose, a transketolase-deficient Bacillus subtilis SPK1 was cultured batch-wise using xylose and glucose. A change of agitation speed from 300 rpm to 600 rpm at 1 vvm of air supply increased both the xylose consumption rate and ${\small{D}}$-ribose production rate. Because the sum of the specific consumption rates for xylose and glucose was similar at all agitation speeds, metabolic preferences between xylose and glucose might depend on oxygen supply. Although B. subtilis SPK1 can take up xylose and glucose by the active transport mechanism, a high initial concentration of xylose and glucose was not beneficial for high ${\small{D}}$-ribose production.

The use of L-carbohydrates and their corresponding nucleosides in medicinal application has greatly increased. For example L-ribose has been much in demand as the starting material for curing hepatitis B. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was studied for the analysis of ribose and arabinose fractions from ion exchange chromatography (IEC). Dowex Monosphere 99 Ca/320 resin was packed in IEC to separate ribose and arabinose under various operating conditions. $NH_{2}$ and sugar HPLC columns were then used to analyze the fractions from the IEC column. Pulse input method (PIM) was also used to measure adsorption isotherms of ribose and arabinose in the Dowex column and HPLC columns. Experimental results and simulations by ASPEN chromatography were compared with fair agreement.

비금속성 이성화효소로 추정되는 Staphylococcus aureus의 tagatose-6-phosphate isomerase(E.C. 5.3.1.26)의 기질다 양성을 조사하기 위해서 그 구조유전자(lacB;510bp와 lacA;430bp)를 대장균에서 동시발현하였다. 알려진 기질 이외에 D-ribose와 D-allose에 대해 이성화활성이 새롭게 관찰되었다. EDTA 1 mM 존재하에서도 D-ribose와 D-allose에 대하여 각각 EDTA 비존재 조건에 대비하여 $95\%,\;75\%$의 이성화활성을 나타내는 것으로 미루어 tagatose-6-phosphate isomerase가 비금속성 이성화효소임을 밝혔다. 이때 lacA 또는 lacB의 단독발현시에는 이성화활성이 전혀 밝견되지 않았다. D-Ribose와 D-allose에 대한 기질친화상수 ($K_m$)은 각각 26 mM와 142 mM였다.

본 연구에서는 두 가지 투여그룹을 비교하여 ergogenic aid로서 D-ribose의 효과를 운동영양학적으로 규명하는데 그 목적이 있었고, 이를 위하여 2,000 m 조정운동 전, 운동종료 직후, 그리고 운동 종료 후 회복기 30분의 변화를 연구하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 투여그룹에 따른 2,000 m 조정운동 수행력의 차이는 없었으며 둘째, 투여그룹에 따른 젖산과 암모니아 수치의 차이도 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 회복 30분에서 무기인산은 PS에 비해서 RS투여그룹의 수치가 더 낮게 나타났으며, 마지막으로 회복 30분에서 hypoxanthine의 축적은 PS투여그룹에 비해 RS투여그룹의 수치가 더 낮게 나타났다. 따라서, 7-8분 정도의 고강도 운동 시 운동기록의 단축에 D-ribose 구강투여의 효과는 없었지만, 휴식 기 피로회복에 긍정적인 효과를 줄 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

본 연구는 10 주 동안 건강한 20대 성인 남녀 14명을 대상으로 D-리보오스 함유 비율이 다른 설탕 (D-리보오스 5%, 10%, 14% 함유) 섭취가 혈당 반응과 GI에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 혈당 저감화 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 설탕과 D-리보오스함유 설탕의 혈당반응값을 비교하였을 때 D-리보오스 함유 설탕인 RB5, RB10, RB14 순으로 낮아졌으며 RB10, RB14는 설탕에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 혈당반응값을 보였다. 백설탕, RB5, RB10, RB14의 GI는 각각 67.39, 67.07, 47.57, 45.62로 설탕과 RB5는 중 GI 식품으로, RB10과 RB14는 저 GI 식품으로 분류되었으며, RB10, RB14의 GI는 설탕과 RB5의 GI에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 혈당 변화에 따른 Cmax를 보면 포도당 61.73 mg/dL에 비해 RB5, RB10, RB14가 각각 49.43 mg/dL, 37.25 mg/dL, 35.15 mg/dL로 유의적으로낮았으나, 설탕의 Cmax 58.18 mg/dL과 비교 시 RB10, RB14의 Cmax는 유의적으로 낮았으나, RB5와는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 D-리보오스 함유 설탕의 혈당 상승 억제 효과는 D-리보오스를 5% 함유 시 보다는 D-리보오스를 10% 이상 함유할 때 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 D-리보오스를 10%, 14% 함유한 설탕의 GI값과 혈당 변화율이 유사하게 나타나고 있으므로 D-리보오스 14% 함유보다는 D-리보오스 10% 함유하는 것이 혈당 저감화 효과 및 비용적인 측면을 고려할 때 기능성 설탕의 비율로 더 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

Enzymatic syntheses of water soluble Bakuchiol glycosides were carried out in di-isopropyl ether organic media using amyloglucosidase from Rhizopus mold. The reactions were carried out under conventional reflux conditions and in supercritical $CO_2$ atmospheric conditions. Out of the eleven carbohydrate molecules employed for the reaction, D-glucose, D-ribose and D-arabinose gave glycosides in yields of 9.0% to 51.4% under conventional reflux conditions. Under supercritical $CO_2$ atmosphere (100 bar pressure at 50 ${^{\circ}C}$), bakuchiol formed glycosides with Dglucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-fructose, D-ribose, D-arabinose, D-sorbitol and D-mannitol in yields ranging from 9% to 46.6%. Out of the bakuchiol glycosides prepared, 6-O-(6-D-fructofruranosyl)bakuchiol showed the best antioxidant (1.4 mM) and ACE inhibitory activities (0.64 mM).

${\text\tiny{D}}-Allose$ is a potential medical sugar because it has anticancer, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and immunosuppressant activities. Allose production from fructose as a cheap substrate was performed by a one-pot reaction using Flavonifractor plautii ${\text\tiny{D}}-allulose$ 3-epimerase (FP-DAE) and Clostridium thermocellum ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (CT-RPI). The optimal reaction conditions for allose production were pH 7.5, $60^{\circ}C$, 0.1 g/l FP-DAE, 12 g/l CT-RPI, and 600 g/l fructose in the presence of 1 mM $Co^{2+}$. Under these optimized conditions, FP-DAE and CT-RPI produced 79 g/l allose for 2 h, with a conversion yield of 13%. This is the first biotransformation of fructose to allose by a two-enzyme system. The production of allose by a one-pot reaction using FP-DAE and CT-RPI was 1.3-fold higher than that by a two-step reaction using the two enzymes.
