Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) are polymers of fructose with a prebiotic activity because of their production and fermentation by bacteria that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and are widely used in the industry and new functional foods. stands out as an important homofermentative microorganism related to FOS production, and its potential applications in the industry are undeniable. In this study, we report the production and characterization of a sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase from belonging to the GH32 family. -As32 and As32 complexed with β-d-fructose structures were determined at a resolution of 1.94 and 1.84 Å, respectively. The production of FOS, fructans, 1-kestose, and nystose by the recombinant As32, using sucrose as a substrate, shown in this study is very promising. When compared to its homologous enzyme from , the production of 1-kestose by As32 is increased; thus, As32 can be considered as an alternative in fructan production and other industrial applications.

Pruning is a common forest-tending method; its purpose is to promote growth and improve the overall stand quality. Poplar is a fast-growing, broad-leaved tree species with high ecological and economic value. It is a common management method to promote its growth by pruning and adjusting the spatial structure of the stand, but its potential regulatory mechanism remains unclear.

This study investigates the impact of β-fructofuranosidase (Bmsuc1) on the development of the silk gland in silkworms (Bombyx mori). Previous research shows that Bmsuc1 is highly expressed in the silk glands and may be involved in silk gland development and protein synthesis. However, the precise mechanism by which Bmsuc1 regulates silk gland development remains unclear.

Cane molasses, a sugar-rich agro-industrial byproduct, was used to enhance the production of ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) in PD-1 as a cost-effective carbon source. The sucrose metabolism pathway was engineered by heterologously expressing sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase from W. The optimization of various promoters identified the SP44 promoter, increasing the total sugar utilization rate by 2.

Efficient sucrose transport and metabolism are vital for seed and pollen development in plants. Cell wall invertases (CINs) hydrolyze sucrose into glucose and fructose, maintaining a sucrose gradient in the apoplast of sink tissues. In rice, two CIN isoforms, OsCIN1 and OsCIN2, were identified as being specifically expressed in the anthers but not in pollen.
