D-Mannose and L-ribose are two important monosaccharides, which have attracted public attention recently because of their great application potentials in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Sugar isomerases catalyze the sugar isomerization and therefore can be used as the biocatalysts for production of the high-value sugars from inexpensive sugars. L-arabinose isomerase catalyzes the conversion of L-arabinose to L-ribulose, while D-lyxose isomerase catalyzes L-ribulose and D-fructose to L-ribose and D-mannose, respectively. In this paper, a putative D-LI from Bacillus velezensis (BvLI) was identified, characterized and used to produce D-mannose and L-ribose from D-fructose and L-arabinose, respectively. The recombinant BvLI exhibited a maximum activity at 55 °C and pH 6.5, in the presence of 0.1 mM Co. Approximately 110.75 g/L D-mannose was obtained from 500 g/L D-fructose in 6 h by the recombinant BvLI, and approximately 105 g/L L-ribose was obtained from 500 g/L L-arabinose in 8 h by the successive biocatalysis of L-arabinose isomerase from Bacillus licheniformis (BlAI) and BvLI.

Rare sugar was defined as a sugar that occurs in very small quantities in nature. Among them, l-ribose and d-tagatose were of high added value and useful as pharmaceutical intermediate for anti-HBV drugs or low calorie sweetener in food industry. Bio-production of the two rare sugar from biomass waste has not been investigated.

Phosphate sugar isomerases, catalyzing the isomerization between ketopentose/ketohexose phosphate and aldopentose/aldohexose phosphate, play an important role in microbial sugar metabolism. They are present in a wide range of microorganisms. They have attracted increasing research interest because of their broad substrate specificity and great potential in the enzymatic production of various rare sugars.

A mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (MPI) from was expressed and successfully encapsulated into the spores. Our results demonstrated that compared to the free enzyme, the MPI triple mutant encapsulated in Δ spores exhibited much preferred enzymatic properties, such as enhanced catalytic activity, excellent reusability, thermostability, and tolerance to various harsh conditions. In combination with an l-arabinose isomerase (AI) also from , this technique of spore encapsulation was applied for producing a high-value rare sugar l-ribose from biomass-derived l-arabinose.

Functional sugars have attracted attention because of their wide application prospects in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries in recent decades. Compared with complex chemical synthesis, enzymatic methods of creating functional sugars, characterized by high specificity, moderate reaction conditions, and sustainability, are favored.
