ABSTRACT
Mannitol, one of the most widespread sugar alcohols, has been integral to daily human life for two centuries. Global population growth and competition for freshwater, food, and land have prompted a shift in the fermentation industry from terrestrial to marine raw materials. Mannitol is a readily available carbohydrate in brown seaweed from the ocean and possess a higher reducing power than glucose, making it a promising substrate for biological manufacturing. This has spurred numerous explorations into converting mannitol into high-value chemicals. Researchers have engineered microorganisms to utilize mannitol in various synthetic biological applications, including (1) employing mannitol as an inducer to control the activation and deactivation of genetic circuits; (2) using mannitol as a carbon source for synthesizing high-value chemicals through biomanufacturing. This review summarizes the latest advances in the application of mannitol in synthetic biology. AIM OF REVIEW The aim is to present a thorough and in-depth knowledge of mannitol, a marine carbon source, and then use this carbon source in synthetic biology to improve the competitiveness of biosynthetic processes. We outlined the methods and difficulties of utilizing mannitol in synthetic biology with a variety of microbes serving as hosts. Furthermore, future research directions that could alleviate the carbon catabolite repression (CCR) relationship between glucose and mannitol are also covered. EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS OF REVIEW Provide an overview of the current state, drawbacks, and directions for future study on mannitol as a carbon source or genetic circuit inducer in synthetic biology.
