The invention discloses fabrication and application of an engineering bacterium capable of producing D-lactate with high optical purity by the aid of pentose and hexose synchronously by means of fermentation, and belongs to the field of genetic fermentation engineering. Escherichia coli capable of producing alcohol by the aid of the pentose by means of fermentation is used as an original strain, alcohol dehydrogenase genes (adhE) are replaced by D-lactate dehydrogenase genes (idhA) by means of homologous recombination, and encoding genes (ptsG) of enzymes IICB <Glc> of glucose transfer endocytosis are knocked out, so that the engineering bacterium capable of producing the D-lactate with the high optical purity by the aid of the pentose and the hexose synchronously by means of fermentation can be obtained. The fabrication and the application of the engineering bacterium have the advantages that mixed carbon sources are used for lactate fermentation production, accordingly, glucose effects can be reduced, the pentose and the hexose can be synchronously utilized, and the utilization efficiency of the carbon sources in unit time can be improved; carbon metabolic flux is redistributed, accordingly, accumulation of a large quantity of D-lactate which is a target product can be promoted, generation of other byproducts such as acetic acid can be basically prevented, the D-lactate is high in optical purity, and the optical purity of the D-lactate can reach 99.8% at least.

The invention discloses a reduction method of a NAD analog and an application of the reduction method. According to the method, a reducing agent is a formic acid compound, a catalyst is hydrogenlyasewhich can use the formic acid compound, and when the hydrogenlyase is used for oxidating the formic acid compound, the NAD analog is converted into a reducing state. The method can be used for producing the reducing state NAD analog or a deuterated reducing state analog, and can also be used for providing reducing power for an enzyme reaction consuming the reducing state NAD analog, and the reducing state NAD analog can also be used as coenzyme to be used for a reduction reaction of enzyme catalysis of malic enzyme ME-L310R/Q401C, D-lactate dehydrogenase DLDH-V152R, saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase and the like. Wide application of the NAD analog is facilitated. According to the reducing method of the NAD analog, under the mild condition, the regenerated reducing state NAD analog can be used for preparing malic acid or lactic acid, and can also be used as oxidation-reduction power for adjusting and controlling the metabolism intensity of the malic acid or the lactic acidin microorganisms.

The invention relates to a kit for diagnosing/mensurating D-lactic acid by utilizing the technologies of the enzymatic cycling amplification method, the enzymic colorimetric method and the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the specificity of the D-lactic acid.
