The glucose isomerase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 was purified by chromatographic procedures, showing one single protein band in the SDS-PAGE. The enzyme had high acid stability, and there was no loss in enzyme activity at pH 5.0 after incubation at 60 degrees C for 30 hr. The enzyme had sufficients activity at 60 degrees C, pH 5.5, (which is the reaction condition for a single-step process with a glucoamylase from A. niger), and at 58 degrees C, pH 6.0, (condition with a glucoamylase from R. niveus). By using this acid-stable glucose isomerase, a single-step process to produce high-fructose corn sweetener (HFCS) from liquefied starch was formed without any reductant or other reagents for enzyme stabilization. The HFCS produced was about fifty percent fructose and less than 1.5% unknown oligosaccharides.

Glucose isomerase is generally used in the industrial production of high-fructose corn syrup, and a heat- and acid-resistant glucose isomerase is preferred. However, most glucose isomerases exhibit low activity or inactivation at low pH. In this study, we demonstrated that two combination mutants formed by introducing positive and negative charges near the active site and on the surface of the enzyme demonstrated a successful reduction in the optimal pH and increase in the specific activity of glucose isomerase from Thermotoga maritima (TMGI).

targeted mutagenesis technologies are the basis for the continuous directed evolution of specific proteins. Here, an efficient mutagenesis system (CgMutaT7) for continuous evolution of the targeted gene in was developed. First, cytosine deaminase and uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor were sequentially fused to T7 RNA polymerase using flexible linkers to build the CgMutaT7 system, which introduces mutations in targeted regions controlled by the T7 promoter.

Article Synopsis
- Xylose, derived from lignocellulose, is a crucial renewable resource for producing valuable bioproducts like fumaric acid; optimizing its conversion is essential.
- The study identified a genetically modified strain (TKL-4) of A. pullulans that effectively uses xylose and corncob-derived xylose to produce calcium fumarate, demonstrating higher yields compared to glucose.
- The TKL-4 strain achieved impressive fermentation results, generating up to 88.5 g/L of calcium fumarate from xylose during a 10-liter fermentation process, showcasing its potential for eco-friendly bioproduct development.
