Xylitol is a salutary sugar substitute that has been widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Co‐fermentation of xylose and glucose by metabolically engineered cell factories is a promising alternative to chemical hydrogenation of xylose for commercial production of xylitol. Here, we engineered a mutant of SecY protein‐translocation channel (SecY [ΔP]) in xylitol‐producingEscherichia coliJM109 (DE3) as a passageway for xylose uptake. It was found that SecY (ΔP) channel could rapidly transport xylose without being interfered by XylB‐catalyzed synthesis of xylitol‐phosphate, which is impossible for native XylFGH and XylE transporters. More importantly, with the coaction of SecY (ΔP) channel and carbon catabolite repression (CCR), the flux of xylose to the pentose phosphate (PP) pathway and the xylitol synthesis pathway inE. colicould be automatically controlled in response to glucose, thereby ensuring that the mutant cells were able to fully utilize sugars with high xylitol yields. TheE. colicell factory developed in this study has been proven to be applicable to a broad range of xylose‐glucose mixtures, which is conducive to simplifying the mixed‐sugar fermentation process for efficient and economical production of xylitol.
